FDA approves subcutaneous self-injection initiation dosing for Leqembi (lecanemab), Alzheimer's anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody, delivered via autoinjector from treatment start. The approval reduces clinic visit burden and infusion centre dependency whilst maintaining biomarker and clinical efficacy equivalent to intravenous administration.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build home-care infrastructure for chronic disease, Leqembi just moved from hospital to your kitchen. Eisai and Biogen have proved the patient and carer will self-inject; now they need someone to manage adherence, monitoring and symptom tracking in the home, because the clinic visit just disappeared.
