An advisory panel to the US Food and Drug Administration has recommended authorizing a new drug for Alzheimer's disease jointly developed by Japanese pharmaceutical firm Eisai and US partner Biogen.
The panel of six independent experts unanimously agreed in a meeting on Friday that the efficacy of lecanemab was confirmed.
The panel says the drug is indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and that it should be initiated in patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia.
The drug is designed to slow the advancement of the symptoms by removing amyloid beta accumulating in the brain. The abnormal protein is believed to be the major cause of the disease.
The panel explained that the drug makers' data from a final clinical trial show the drug was effective in slowing down the progression of Alzheimer's.
In January, the FDA approved lecanemab under an accelerated process for drugs designed to treat serious conditions.

A US federal court in Florida has made public an indictment against former President Donald Trump for retaining classified documents after he left office.
The court document unsealed on Friday details 37 criminal counts against Trump. They include "Willful retention of national defense information," referring to his unauthorized retention of classified documents.
The court says the documents include information about military or nuclear capabilities of foreign countries and the United States.
The former president also faces the charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice for moving the classified documents to hide them from investigators.
The FBI seized them from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last August.
Trump has become the first former or current US president to face federal charges.
The special counsel in the case, Jack Smith, said violation of laws that protect national defense information puts the US at risk.
Trump has criticized the administration of President Joe Biden for being corrupt and claimed he is innocent.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday to plead guilty or not guilty.

Sudan's government has told the United Nations that the UN special envoy to Sudan, who is working as a mediator of the internal conflict, is no longer welcome in the African country.
The Sudanese foreign ministry said on Thursday it notified UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that the government declared Volker Perthes persona non grata.
The announcement came after the Sudanese military sent a letter to Guterres last month calling for the replacement of Perthes. The military accused the envoy of exacerbating the conflict.
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters on Friday that the doctrine of persona non grata is not applicable to UN personnel, and that Perthes will remain in the position.
UN officials say Perthes is currently in neighboring Ethiopia. But he is likely to be denied entry to Sudan.
The humanitarian situation in Sudan has been worsening since violence erupted in April between the nation's military and a paramilitary group. The fighting has left hundreds of people dead and tens of thousands internally displaced.

Russia's Foreign Ministry has summoned Japan's ambassador to Moscow in light of a decision in Tokyo to supply Ukraine with vehicles from the Ground Self-Defense Force.
A ministry statement released on Friday says the Japanese side has been told that the plan would lead to an escalation of hostilities and more casualties.
The Japanese government plans to provide Ukraine with about 100 trucks and other vehicles from the GSDF. The Russian ministry describes it as "military equipment".
The statement warns of "serious consequences," and says bilateral relations will be driven into a dangerous dead-end.
The Japanese Embassy in Moscow says Ambassador Kozuki Toyohisa has rebutted those claims.
Kozuki reportedly said Russia has invited the current circumstances by invading Ukraine, and that attempts to deflect the blame are unacceptable.

The young activist also commented on Twitter on the destruction of a dam in southern Ukraine. She described it as "ecocide" and "another atrocity which leaves the world lost for words." She also told media that the dam's bursting was horrifying, and that Russia needs to be held accountable for their actions and crimes.

A concert was held in New York that used so-called mixed reality technology to give the audience a personal connection to late Japanese musician and composer Sakamoto Ryuichi.
Sakamoto died of cancer in March at the age of 71.
People at a preview of the show on Thursday wore mixed reality headsets that showed them moving images while letting them view their own surroundings in the real world.
As the concert began, the audience saw Sakamoto's image appear in the center of the room, playing the piano.
Audience members were allowed to walk up to the performance space, where they could come much closer to Sakamoto than they ever would in a real concert hall.
The show lasted about an hour and included pieces such as the score for the film "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence."
The show's director, Todd Eckert, said the work captured the entirety of Sakamoto, including every detail of his hands, hair, glasses, face and his feet on the pedals of the piano.
Eckert said Sakamoto told him he wanted the show to have a personal connection with the audience. The director said the event is not only for Sakamoto's fans, but also for those who have never heard of him.
One man who attended the preview said it was an intimate experience of a figure who has moved so many people.
The show opens on Saturday and runs through July.
