Kisunla is indicated for the treatment of early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease in adults, specifically those with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease who have confirmed presence of amyloid pathology.
Kisunla is a monoclonal antibody that targets and binds to amyloid-beta plaques (specifically N-terminal truncated and modified forms) in the brain. By binding to these plaques, it helps facilitate their removal through the immune system.
Kisunla requires regular intravenous infusions every four weeks. Common side effects include infusion-related reactions and amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), which may present as brain swelling or microbleeds and require monitoring via MRI. Treatment decisions should involve discussion of individual benefits and risks with a healthcare provider.
