Here’s an article that was shared by @Crushed, which was released last October about some of the issues with the Leqembi trials.
What Drugmakers Did Not Tell Volunteers in Alzheimer’s Trials
From that article, “Early last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved Eisai’s Alzheimer’s drug, marketed as Leqembi, saying its modest benefit — a slight slowing of cognitive decline for a handful of months — outweighed its risks.”
It appears that this drug only adds about 6 months or so of a slower decline if given early in the disease’s progress and women/people of color are more likely to suffer from the side-effects, which include brain bleeds.
As @jfkoc suggested, please do some researching online regarding this drug.
