The FDA just approved Eli Lilly’s new drug donanemab signing off on the treatment after previous delays. Estimated cost $32-k/year.

The approval expands the limited treatment options for Alzheimer’s as the drug, which will be sold as Kisunla and priced at about ~$32,000 for a year’s supply, will compete with a similar one from Biogen and Eisai that was approved last year. Both drugs target plaques in the brain called amyloids to slow the progression of the disease, representing a breakthrough after decades of failures to find new treatments.
