Health Canada issued a Notice of Compliance with Conditions for LEQEMBI (lecanemab), authorizing Eisai and Biogen’s monoclonal antibody for adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease who are ApoE ε4 non‑carriers or heterozygotes and who have confirmed amyloid pathology.

Eisai emphasized its multi‑decade Alzheimer’s research investment in statements accompanying the regulatory notice.
