KEY POINTS
- European drug regulators rejected the Alzheimer's treatment Leqembi from Biogen and Eisai, creating another hurdle for the companies as they scramble to boost uptake of the therapy in the U.S.
- The European Commission, the EU's executive body, has a final say. But it almost always follows the drug regulator's recommendations.
- The regulator said Leqembi's effect on delaying cognitive decline does not outweigh "the risk of serious side effects associated with the medicine."
