Today’s The Telegraph first to report MHRA approval of #Leqembi - the first drug to show slowing decline of #Alzheimers. Not a wonder drug but the beginning of us having treatments that change the course of disease.

Great to see Prof Tara Spires-Jones on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about lecanemab and what the future might hold for its use in Alzheimer's disease.

🚨Breaking news today on the regulators decision on #lecanemab. Licensed for some in Britain but won't be available on the NHS. Bittersweet and people will be deeply disappointed that it won't be available on grounds of cost after so much progress in research. Our take👇

The UK DRI's Prof Tara Spires-Jones discussed the implications of the MHRA decision on lecanemab on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme this morning ⬇️ Listen from 01:09:08 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

It was fantastic to talk to lyse doucet on BBC Radio 4 Today about the new Alzheimer's drug and progress in research.
