Reducing ARIA risk in Alzheimer's disease: Real-world impact of

We evaluated whether apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype-guided slow titration of monoclonal antibodies reduced amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in Alzheimer's disease. We retrospectively analyzed ARIA incidence in 25 patients on aducanumab and 19 patients on lecanemab on a genotype-informed protocol in a private practice setting. ARIA-E and ARIA-H each occurred in 4% of the aducanumab group and 5% of the lecanemab group. Plaque clearance was achieved in 50% of evaluable aducanumab patients and 26.3% of lecanemab patients. Compared to clinical trial ARIA rates, our results suggest that individualized, genotype-informed titration improves safety although plaque clearance rates were less robust.
