Results from Real-World, Long-Term Treatment Persistence with LEQEMBI® (lecanemab-irmb) in the United States Presented at AD/PD™ 2026

Real-World LEQEMBI Data Shows Patients Choose to Stay on Long-Term Treatment

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) and Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB, Corporate headquarters: Cambridge, Massachusetts, CEO: Christopher A. Viehbacher, “Biogen”) announced today that new real‑world findings from an analysis of long‑term treatment persistence and baseline characteristics among people receiving intravenous (IV) lecanemab (generic name, brand name LEQEMBI®), an anti‑amyloid‑β (Aβ) protofibril antibody, showed that most patients continue with ongoing lecanemab therapy after the initial 18 months of treatment. The analysis was presented at the 20th International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and Related Neurological Disorders (AD/PD™ 2026) in Copenhagen, Denmark, and online.

In real‑world clinical practice, patients with chronic diseases who stay on their treatments longer tend to experience better clinical outcomes and higher satisfaction.1,2 Ninety-four percent of patients who completed 18 months of lecanemab treatment in the Phase III Clarity AD chose to continue maintenance treatment by enrolling in the subsequent open-label, long-term extension (OLE) study. In the OLE of Clarity AD study, patients continue to benefit from four years of lecanemab treatment compared with the natural course of Alzheimer’s disease (Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative: ADNI*).

Long-Term Persistence and Patient Characteristics for Lecanemab in Real-World Use in the United States (Presentation: March 20, 17:05 CET)
This analysis is the first time real-world lecanemab data on treatment persistence beyond 18 months has been reported.

This study was a retrospective observational analysis using the PurpleLab® CLEAR Claims database, a comprehensive dataset based on medical insurance claims across the United States and was conducted to evaluate the long‑term treatment persistence of lecanemab in real‑world clinical practice.

■ Patient background and dosing
The analysis population consisted of 10,763 individuals who met the requirement for continuous healthcare encounters, out of the 13,388 individuals recorded in the database who received at least one intravenous treatment with lecanemab between January 6, 2023 and November 30, 2025. At baseline, the mean age was 73.8 years and 56.5% were female. The most common comorbidities were dyslipidemia (42.2%) and hypertension (36.9%). The mean follow-up duration was 350.9 days. The average number of administrations was 1.7 per month, and the mean dosing interval was 16.4 days (median 14 days), which was generally consistent with the recommended every two weeks dosing.

■ Long-Term persistence results
The time-dependent proportion of patients who remained on lecanemab treatment was evaluated, using the Kaplan–Meier method in a subgroup of 371 patients who initiated treatment in 2023 and had 20 months of continuous follow-up, thereby enabling assessment of long-term treatment persistence beyond 18 months. As a result, 78.4% of individuals continued lecanemab treatment at 18 months, 71.7% at 20 months, and 67.3% at 24 months. Of the 78.4% of patients who remained on lecanemab at 18 months, the majority of them continued treatment during the maintenance period beyond 18 months, confirming a high rate of treatment persistence with lecanemab in real-world clinical practice. The patient characteristics and dosing patterns observed in this claims-based analysis were generally similar to those reported in the Clarity AD. Furthermore, the relatively high treatment adherence observed among individuals suggests that potential delays due to MRI monitoring requirements, adverse events, and other factors did not substantially affect lecanemab dosing.

Eisai serves as the lead for lecanemab’s development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.

* ADNI is a clinical research project launched in 2005 to develop methods to predict the onset and progression of AD and to confirm the effectiveness of treatments. The project involves a multi-year longitudinal observation targeting healthy elderly individuals as well as patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early stages of AD.

Notes to Editors

1. About lecanemab (generic name, brand name: LEQEMBI)
Lecanemab is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ).

Lecanemab has been approved in 53 countries and regions including Japan, the United States, China, Europe, South Korea, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia, and is under regulatory review in 6 countries. Following the initial phase with treatment every two weeks for 18 months, intravenous (IV) maintenance dosing with treatment every four weeks was approved in 7 countries including the U.S., China, the UK, and others, and applications have been filed in 10 countries and regions. The U.S. FDA approved Eisai’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for subcutaneous maintenance dosing with LEQEMBI IQLIK in August 2025. A Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for initiation treatment was accepted in January 2026. The sBLA has been granted Priority Review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of May 24, 2026. In November 2025, an application for a subcutaneous injectable formulation in Japan was submitted. In January 2026, the Biologics License Application (BLA) for the subcutaneous formulation was accepted in China. In December 2025, Lecanemab (IV) has been included in the “Commercial Insurance Innovative Drug List”, recently introduced by the National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) of China.

In the global Phase 3 placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, randomized Clarity AD core study, the mean change from baseline between the lecanemab treated group and the placebo group after 18 months was -0.45 (P=0.00005) on the primary endpoint of CDR-SB global cognitive and functional scale. To provide context, a change from 0.5 to 1 on the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) score domains of Memory, Community Affairs and Home/Hobbies reflects a shift from mild impairment to loss of independence. This can affect a person’s ability to be left alone safely, recall recent events, participate in daily activities, manage household tasks, and engage in hobbies and intellectual interests.3,4

Over three years of treatment, including both the core study and the OLE, data showed lecanemab demonstrated a reduction in cognitive decline—measured by CDR-SB—of 1.01 points compared to the expected decline observed in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort. This benefit grew more pronounced after four years, with a reduction of 1.75 points. Similarly, when benchmarked against the expected decline in the BioFINDER** cohort, lecanemab showed a reduction of 1.40 points at three years and an even greater reduction of 2.17 points at the four years mark.

Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer’s Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy.

** BioFINDER subjects are similar to Study 301 and ADNI subjects, except all BioFINDER subjects are in the MCI stage and no mild AD subjects are included, and their baseline CDR-SB is lower. BioFINDER is a large-scale, long-term prospective study led by Lund University in Sweden, aiming to establish early. diagnosis and elucidate pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to AD, the study also focuses on conditions including Parkinson’s Disease. Individuals participating in the study undergo regular clinical assessments, cognitive function tests, brain imaging (MRI, Aβ PET, Tau PET), and collection of biomarkers from blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

2. About Protofibrils
Protofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of soluble Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline associated with this progressive, debilitating condition.3 Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain, which in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.4

3. About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for AD
Eisai and Biogen have been collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments since 2014. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both companies co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.

4. About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for AD
Since 2005, Eisai and BioArctic have had a long-term collaboration regarding the development and commercialization of AD treatments. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement with BioArctic in December 2007. The development and commercialization agreement on the antibody lecanemab back-up was signed in May 2015.

RenovoRx is also evaluating its novel drug-device combination oncology product candidate intra-arterial gemcitabine delivered via RenovoCath, (known as IAG) in the ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC trial. IAG is being evaluated by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (the drug division of the FDA) under a U.S. investigational new drug application that is regulated by the FDA’s 21 CFR 312 pathway. IAG utilizes RenovoCath, the Company’s patented, FDA-cleared drug-delivery device, indicated for temporary vessel occlusion in applications including arteriography, preoperative occlusion, and chemotherapeutic drug infusion.

The IAG combination product candidate, which is enabled by the RenovoCath device, is currently under investigation and has not been approved for commercial sale. RenovoCath with gemcitabine received Orphan Drug Designation for pancreatic cancer and bile duct cancer, which provides seven years of market exclusivity upon new drug application approval by the FDA.

WallabyPhenox Announces First U.S. Patient Treated with p48 & p64 MW HPC Flow Modulation Devices in PIANO IDE Trial

WallabyPhenox Announces First U.S. Patient Treated with p48 & p64 MW HPC Flow Modulation Devices in PIANO IDE Trial




WallabyPhenox Announces First U.S. Patient Treated with p48 & p64 MW HPC Flow Modulation Devices in PIANO IDE Trial

IRVINE, Calif., March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WallabyPhenox today announced the successful treatment of the first U.S. patient in the p48 and p64 MW HPC in Aneurysm Occlusion (PIANO) IDE trial, evaluating the p48 and p64 MW HPC Flow Modulation Devices for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The first two procedures were performed by Adel Malek, MD, PhD, Chief of Neurovascular Surgery at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, MA.

“Initiating the PIANO IDE trial is an important milestone in our company’s history and demonstrates our commitment to bringing life-saving innovations to patients in the United States,” said Ruilin Zhao, CEO of WallabyPhenox.

Flow diversion is an established therapy for intracranial aneurysms. However, limited device options remain available to U.S. physicians. The p48 and p64 MW HPC flow diverters are the market leader in Germany.

“The p48 and p64 MW HPC devices have been used in the treatment of more than 20,000 patients worldwide, with data from rigorous studies conducted outside the United States demonstrating consistently high aneurysm occlusion rates and low complication rates,” said Gary Brogan, VP of Global Clinical & Regulatory Affairs.

The p48 & p64 MW HPC devices bring multiple novel features including the first Movable Wire (MW) technology designed for stable and controlled positioning. The Hydrophilic Polymer Coating (HPC) is designed to reduce thrombogenicity of the implant. Smaller microcatheter delivery simplifies procedural access. Lastly, the Nitinol wires with platinum core provide full radiographic visibility.

“We are pleased to usher in this unique flow diverter that the U.S. physician community has been eagerly awaiting,” said Demetrius Lopes, MD, who serves as the National Principal Investigator along with Jared Knopman, MD, and Eytan Raz, MD, PhD.

“We always welcome the opportunity to offer new innovations and technologies to our patients through cutting-edge clinical trials,” said Dr. Malek. “A device that proves to be safe, effective and efficient will only enhance our ability to treat intracranial aneurysms and ensure the best-possible outcomes for our patients.”

Enrollment in the PIANO IDE trial is ongoing at leading U.S. centers.

The p48 and p64 MW HPC Flow Modulation Devices are investigational devices in the United States and are limited by federal law to investigational use.

Biodesix Announces the Largest Lung Nodule Biomarker Clinical Validation Study Ever Published Supporting Earlier Lung Cancer Diagnosis

Biodesix Announces the Largest Lung Nodule Biomarker Clinical Validation Study Ever Published Supporting Earlier Lung Cancer Diagnosis




Biodesix Announces the Largest Lung Nodule Biomarker Clinical Validation Study Ever Published Supporting Earlier Lung Cancer Diagnosis

A retrospective pooled analysis of 1,100 patients demonstrates the Nodify CDT® test’s consistent clinical performance across nodule sizes and patient populations

LOUISVILLE, Colo., March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading diagnostics solutions company, announced the publication of the largest lung nodule biomarker clinical validation study ever conducted. This milestone strengthens the clinical foundation for Nodify CDT® tests as a critical decision-support tool in the early detection of lung cancer, addressing a significant unmet need in the management of the millions of lung nodules detected annually in the United States. 

The study, published in Future Oncology, February 2026, titled Validation of a blood-based autoantibody test to assess lung cancer risk in 4-30mm pulmonary nodules: a retrospective pooled analysis of four cohort studies, highlights that the Nodify CDT® test offers consistently strong performance in identifying a high risk of lung cancer in patients with lung nodules.

Over 1,100 patients with noncalcified lung nodules ranging in size from 4-30 mm and had Nodify CDT test results were analyzed. The data shows that the Nodify CDT test consistently demonstrated high specificity (91-97%), i.e., low false positive rates, regardless of nodule size or baseline patient risk factors. Test performance was also consistent across four distinct clinical studies with patients enrolled from 48 clinical practices in the US, including the CLARIFY study (NCT06728319) where patients received the Nodify CDT test as part of real-world clinical care. These data substantiate that the Nodify CDT test has strong clinical applicability and consistent performance across diverse practice settings.

“Most small nodules are benign and clinicians must balance patient care decisions … whether to ‘watch and wait’ with imaging surveillance or, instead, to expedite intervention based on the limited insights provided by the CT scan,”  said Dr. James Jett, Co-Chief Medical Officer at Biodesix, former Pulmonologist at Mayo Clinic, and Professor of Medicine Emeritus of National Jewish Health in Denver, CO.1 Dr. Jett emphasized, “A recent study reported in the journal THORAX (by The SUMMIT consortium) observed that over 40% of malignant pulmonary nodules progressed in tumor size between the time of first detection and the time of definitive treatment.2 This highlights a clinician’s need for more helpful decision-support tools to expedite diagnosis and treatment, such as Nodify Lung® Nodule Risk Assessment.”

“The data shows that the Nodify CDT test detected lung cancer with minimal false positives for nodules 4-30 mm in size,” confirmed Dr. Luke Yuhico, Pulmonologist, Fort Walton-Destin Hospital, FL.  “In my own practice, I have observed that using Nodify Lung testing, in conjunction with the information on the patient’s scan, significantly assists in my team’s decision-making as we strive to meaningfully impact patient outcomes by finding cancer much earlier, even in very small nodules.”

“This comprehensive validation study supports our continued commercial expansion of the Nodify CDT test and reinforces its clinical utility in addressing the substantial market opportunity and system-wide gaps in patient care that are presented by lung nodule management,” said Scott Hutton, CEO & President, Biodesix. “The demonstrated consistency of Nodify CDT tests, across real-world practice settings, further strengthens the company’s offering with healthcare providers, payers, and clinical guideline committees.”

The Nodify CDT test is available for clinical use in patients with 4-30 mm lung nodules. To learn more about Nodify Lung testing, or to order a test for a patient, please visit www.biodesix.com.

Human Appeal to deliver food aid to thousands of displaced civilians as part of initial response in Lebanon

Human Appeal to deliver food aid to thousands of displaced civilians as part of initial response in Lebanon




Human Appeal to deliver food aid to thousands of displaced civilians as part of initial response in Lebanon

Ongoing conflict in the Middle East region has left thousands of families displaced in Lebanon, with an increase in food poverty, poor water sanitation and illness observed

MANCHESTER, United Kingdom, March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With the ongoing conflict in the Middle East region impacting thousands of families in Lebanon, UK based humanitarian charity Human Appeal has launched an emergency appeal to combat food security by providing urgently needed food parcels and hot meals.

Human Appeal hot meals in Lebanon

Since the conflict escalated earlier this month, over 1 million people are estimated to have been displaced, 290,000 of which are children. Due to overcrowding in shelters which has led to food insecurity and a strain on resources, Human Appeal has launched a project to provide additional hot meals in Saida – which has become a hub for internally displaced civilians fleeing the airstrikes.

The project will initially distribute 8,585 hot meals and 601 Ready-to-Eat (RTE) food parcels to displaced civilians residing in school-based collective shelters in Saida, helping 930 families who have been displaced.

The charity has conducted a needs assessment to identify those most in need, as well distribute food parcels and hot meals in Saida. This humanitarian effort will help prevent hunger, reduce the risk of malnutrition, and support the physical health of vulnerable displaced persons, particularly children, older persons, and individuals with specific dietary needs. While the program is ongoing Human Appeal will continue to monitor and measure to ensure objectives are met.

Zaheer Khan, Global Director of Fundraising at Human Appeal says: “By ensuring access to nutritious and ready-to-consume meals during this critical period, we hope this aid effort will help prevent hunger, and support the health, dignity, and well-being of vulnerable displaced families enduring extremely challenging circumstances. These people’s livelihood has been disrupted – some have lost their homes and are now unable to source food for their families, which is why providing urgently needed aid such as this rapidly throughout area impacted is at the heart of what we do at Human Appeal.”

About Human Appeal: Human Appeal is a fully independent British humanitarian charity based in Manchester, UK. It was established in 1991 as a registered and regulated UK charity that runs targeted aid relief programmes in collaboration with recognised global organisations such as the United Nations. Its purpose is to save and transform lives through emergency aid response and development programmes at home and abroad across 25 countries worldwide.
