Leqembi Endorsed for Early Alzheimer's Therapy

The European Medicines Agency's human medicines committee has recommended Leqembi (lecanemab) for treating early Alzheimer's disease in patients with one or no copies of the ApoE4 gene, due to a lower risk of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). This decision follows a re-examination of data showing Leqembi's benefits in slowing cognitive decline outweigh its risks in this restricted population. The recommendation includes safety measures like MRI monitoring and a controlled access programme to mitigate ARIA risks. The decision now awaits approval from the European Commission.

"Tragic Case Study: Woman's Brain Reveals Worst-Case Scenario for Alzheimer's"

Researchers have published postmortem data from a woman who died after receiving three doses of the anti-amyloid antibody lecanemab, showing extensive vascular inflammation and numerous ruptured blood vessels throughout her brain. The autopsy revealed that she likely died of complications from lecanemab treatment due to her previously unrecognized risk factors, including being an APOE4 homozygote with severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy. The findings suggest that careful screening for signs of cerebral amyloid angiopathy is crucial for potential immunotherapy patients to avoid similar outcomes. The study also highlights the need for more rigorous baseline evaluation and close monitoring during treatment to prevent severe amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA).

"Opera One: The AI-Powered Browser for Masses"

Opera has released its generative AI-infused browser, Opera One, which features an integrated AI called Aria that can answer users' queries and generate text or code. The AI is available in Opera's Android browser as well. Opera One has a modular design and a feature called tab islands to group related tabs together. The browser also has a new architecture with a multithreaded compositor for a faster and smoother user interface. More AI-focused updates are expected later this year.
