Recently, the "2025 Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC)" was held in Toronto, Canada. The multinational pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly announced the long-term extension (LTE) results of the Phase III clinical study for its newly approved drug last year—donanemab (generic name: donanemab injection). The data showed that compared to the external untreated cohort in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database, the disease progression of research participants receiving donanemab treatment was significantly slowed down, with benefits continuing to enhance over three years. Notably, compared to the delayed treatment group, research participants who used donanemab early had a 27% significantly reduced risk of progressing to the next stage of the disease, indicating that early screening and diagnosis remain key to solving the treatment dilemma of this age-related disease.
