An FDA advisory committee has delivered a strong endorsement to Eli Lilly’s Alzheimer’s disease therapy donanemab, voting unanimously that the safety and efficacy of the amyloid-busting drug support its approval.
The independent advisors on the Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee voted by 11 to zero that donanemab’s benefits outweigh its risks, and by the same margin that the data submitted by Lilly to support its efficacy was convincing.
