FDA approves Kisunla for mild Alzheimer's, offering hope to patients like Cheryl Miller despite high costs.

Cheryl Miller, a 75-year-old with Alzheimer's, and her husband John have faced hope and disappointment through clinical trials. Cheryl initially saw some benefit from Eli Lilly's Kisunla in slowing her memory decline, but her condition worsened after the trial ended. A subsequent trial with Athira Pharma's drug proved ineffective. Now, with the FDA approving Kisunla for mild Alzheimer's, John is seeking insurance coverage for his wife, despite the high cost of up to $32,000 annually.
