Eisai Co., Ltd. is taking the early lead on the US commercial effort for Leqembi (lecanemab) in Alzheimer’s disease, but the company’s partner,Biogen, Inc., will add reinforcement – as long as the drug has approval for reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) following full approval by the US Food and Drug Administration.
CMS Approval Will Mark ‘Starting Gate’ For Leqembi Launch For Biogen
Biogen will likely add sales reps to support Eisai’s US commercial launch of the Alzheimer’s drug early next year when treatment capacity increases.
