Computer simulations show higher benefit of lecanemab in males compared to females

Computational simulations using data from a Phase 3 trial of a potential new medication that may slow cognitive decline for people living with Alzheimer’s disease, lecanemab, showed that this medication is effective in males but also suggested no or limited effectiveness in females.

 

From: Andrews, D., Ducharme, S., Chertkow, H., Sormani, M.P., Collins, D.L. (2025) The higher benefit of lecanemab in males compared to females in CLARITY AD is probably due to a real sex effect. Alzheimer’s & Dementia; 21:e14467
