flag Two Alzheimer’s drugs slow early disease but carry risks and cost, while a new blood test enables earlier detection.

flag Two new Alzheimer’s drugs, donanemab and lecanemab, show modest success in slowing early-stage disease progression but carry risks like brain bleeding and are costly, leading to limited approval and reimbursement in some countries. flag A U.S.-approved blood test can detect Alzheimer’s biomarkers earlier, though European experts still prioritize clinical evaluation alongside testing. flag Nearly half of cases are linked to modifiable risks like smoking, obesity, and inactivity, yet lifestyle interventions have had limited success in trials. flag Despite incremental progress, experts view even small gains as significant after decades of stagnation, emphasizing early detection and long-term research as key to future breakthroughs.
