    Alzheimer's Association Statement on FDA Decision to Hold Advisory Committee Meeting to Discuss Donanemab

    CHICAGO, March 8, 2024 — The Alzheimer's Association appreciates the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) thorough process in reviewing treatments for Alzheimer's disease. The FDA has determined it will hold an advisory committee meeting on donanemab (Lilly). While the decision is a surprise at this stage in the review process, the safety and appropriate administration of treatments is paramount.

    On behalf of everyone who could benefit from this treatment, we strongly urge the FDA to move swiftly in this next stage of its review.
