The study, designed to collect real-world, long-term effectiveness and safety data on Aduhelm, will enroll 6,000 patients over fours years in the United States, according to details released during the Alzheimer's Association International Conference. The current study is not the highly anticipated confirmatory trial the U.S. Food & Drug Administration required as part of Aduhelm's accelerated approval, but is one of the three trials Biogen will undertake to generate post-approval data on the drug.
