Understanding ARIA

It’s important to know that all anti-amyloid treatments for Alzheimer’s disease include MRI monitoring. LEQEMBI can cause serious side effects, including one called ARIA (Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities). ARIA commonly shows up as temporary swelling or bleeding in the brain, and can only be seen with MRI monitoring.

Most of the time, ARIA does not cause any symptoms, though serious symptoms can occur and can be fatal.

That’s why you will receive an MRI before treatment and 4 MRIs after you start treatment—to help your healthcare provider spot any changes early and make decisions to keep you safe.

Your exact MRI schedule will be determined by your healthcare provider and may include additional MRIs.

Most people with ARIA don’t have any symptoms. However, some people may notice:

headache

seizures

vision changes

difficulty walking

dizziness

nausea

muscle weakness

confusion

difficulty speaking

Call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you
have any of the symptoms listed above.

Your healthcare provider may follow up with you to discuss your MRI results.

If ARIA does appear, your healthcare provider may pause or stop treatment and keep a closer
eye on you. In most cases, ARIA resolves on its own.

The role your genes play

A gene called ApoE4 may put people at higher risk for ARIA. Your healthcare
provider can test to see if you have this gene. By understanding you risk, you
can better prepare for treatment with LEQEMBI.

Other possible serious side effects

LEQEMBI can cause serious allergic reactions, including:

  • swelling of the face, lips, mouth, or tongue

  • redness, swelling, heat, pain, itching, rash, bump, bruising, and blood collection under the skin at the injection site
  • headache, chills, fatigue, or fever may also be observed after an injection

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION

What is the most important information I should know about LEQEMBI?

LEQEMBI can cause serious side effects, including: ARIA (Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities). ARIA is a side effect that does not usually cause any symptoms, but serious symptoms can occur. ARIA can be fatal.

  • ARIA commonly shows up as temporary swelling in areas of the brain that usually goes away over time

  • Small spots of bleeding in or on the surface of the brain can occur

  • Less often, larger areas of bleeding in the brain can occur

  • Most people with ARIA don’t have any symptoms. However, some people may notice:

    – headache

    – confusion

    – dizziness

    – vision changes

    – nausea

    – difficulty walking

    – seizures

    – difficulty speaking

    – muscle weakness

  • Some people have a gene called ApoE4 that may increase the risk of ARIA. Talk to your healthcare provider about testing to see if you have
    this gene

  • You may be at a higher risk of developing bleeding in the brain if you take medicines to reduce blood clots from forming (antithrombotic medicines) while receiving LEQEMBI. Talk to your healthcare provider to see if any of the medicines you’re taking increase this risk

  • Your healthcare provider will check for ARIA with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans before you start LEQEMBI and
    during treatment

  • You should carry information that says you are receiving LEQEMBI, which can cause ARIA, and that ARIA symptoms can look like stroke symptoms

Call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you have any of the symptoms listed above.

    – flu-like symptoms (chills, body aches, feeling shaky, joint pain)

    – nausea and/or vomiting

    – dizziness or lightheadedness

    – fast or slow heart rate, or feeling like your chest is pounding

    – difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

    – changes in blood pressure

  • If you have an infusion-related reaction, your healthcare provider may give you medicines before your next infusion to lower the chance of having a reaction

Injection-related reactions:

  • Injection-related reactions may occur with LEQEMBI injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection with LEQEMBI IQLIK). Tell your healthcare provider if you notice any of these symptoms during or after an injection:
