Aducanumab, sold under the brand name Aduhelm, is an anti-amyloid drug designed to treat Alzheimer's disease. [2] [3] It is a monoclonal antibody [3] [2] that targets aggregated forms (plaque) [4] [5] of amyloid beta (Aβ) found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease to reduce its buildup. [6] [7] It was developed by Biogen and Eisai. [8]
