Biogen abandons Aduhelm Alzheimer's drug, redirects resources to Leqembi.

Biogen, a pharmaceutical company, has decided to abandon its Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm. The drug was highly controversial and was granted accelerated approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2021, despite insufficient evidence of its benefits. Biogen will now redirect its resources towards Leqembi, another Alzheimer's drug it is developing with Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai.
