Six months after the full commercial launch of Leqembi, few surveyed neurologists consider Leqembi to be a significant medical advance over other historical AD treatments. Satisfaction with Leqembi is relatively low compared with Spherix’s neurology analog launch benchmarks; specifically, the average satisfaction rating is 15% lower than the typical rating for a new neurology market entrant at a similar post-launch timeframe. Perhaps related to that, less than half of neurologists surveyed are actively recommending Leqembi to patients. As one interviewed neurologist said:
“I present the facts. In the end, what I tell them is I am not enthusiastic about using the drug. I never tell patients that it's wrong for them to choose Leqembi. I just tell them that I don't believe that it's as helpful as they might have heard about, read about or, what they've discussed with other friends or family.”
