Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities in a woman with apolipoprotein E ε4 homozygotes treated with lecanemab for Alzheimer's disease
Background
Lecanemab (Leqembi®) is an anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, side effects may occur with lecanemab, including amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), especially in patients with apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE4) homozygous.
Case Presentation
A 69-year-old woman had a 2-year history of worsening memory symptoms and was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment due to AD. Because she carries two copies of the E4 allele of APOE, her doctor did not recommend lecanemab treatment. However, she strongly desired lecanemab treatment and received four infusions of lecanemab. She had no symptoms or neurological abnormalities, but a head MRI before the fifth infusion showed moderate radiographic ARIA; therefore, she was admitted and treated with steroids. One month later, a head MRI showed the ARIA had disappeared.
Conclusion
The indications of lecanemab treatment for patients with APOE4 homozygous must be carefully considered due to the higher risk of ARIA.
