Original Title:
Lecanemab en enfermedad de Alzheimer
Authors' recommendations:
"High-quality evidence shows that lecanemab in patients with early Alzheimer disease (AD) yields a marginal net benefit, since it decreases the quantity of brain beta-amyloid, although this does not translate into clinically significant differences in the Clinical Dementia Rating.
Lecanemab use is associated with a 22% risk of presenting edema or intracerebral
hemorrhage. The clinical practice guidelines consulted do not mention lecanemab use for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
Regarding the health policies reviewed, most of the Latin American and high-income
countries health funders consulted do not mention the use of lecanemab for AD.
In Argentina lecanemab is not included in the Mandatory Medical Plan and is not reimbursed by the Unique Reimbursement System. The cost-effectiveness assessments surveyed suggest that lecanemab is not a cost-effective treatment".
