Eli Lilly is one of the leading pharmaceutical developers of the moment, focusing on innovative solutions within, among other things, Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, an overarching term for memory loss and other cognitive problems that are severe enough to disrupt daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease is responsible for 60-80% of dementia cases.

There is no cure for Alzheimer's. However, on July 25, 2025, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) registered the drug donanemab (Kisunla®) for approval on the European market as a medical treatment that may influence the course of the disease and help alleviate symptoms. Understanding the available options can help people with this disease and their caregivers better cope with the symptoms and improve the quality of life.
