Today’s full results support what we heard about donanemab in May – the drug is able to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease by more than 20%.
This is truly a turning point in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.

‘For me, the benefits have been manifold. It’s been great to get more mobility in my arms and improve my range since having a shoulder replacement a while ago. Now I can do things I couldn’t do before, like scratching parts of my back I wasn’t able to reach!’ (1/2)
