Postmarketing safety monitoring of LEQEMBI in people with Alzheimer's disease in South Korea
Official title: A 6-Year Postmarketing Safety and Clinical Outcome Study of LEQEMBI® in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease Using Real-World Data From South Korean Patients Enrolled Into the South Korean JOint RegistrY for ALZheimer's Treatment and Diagnostics (JOY-ALZ) Registry
Run by Eisai Inc. · NCT06810960 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This follow-up will see if LEQEMBI is safe for people with Alzheimer's in South Korea by tracking brain imaging findings and bleeding-related side effects.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people with Alzheimer's disease in South Korea who were enrolled in JOY-ALZ before deciding to start LEQEMBI and who agree to share their medical records with Eisai Korea.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not receiving LEQEMBI, those currently enrolled in interventional clinical trials, or those who do not consent to data sharing are unlikely to gain direct benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This observational postmarketing program follows South Korean patients with Alzheimer's disease who have already been prescribed LEQEMBI to monitor real-world safety. It collects routine clinical and imaging reports of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), including ARIA-E and ARIA-H, symptomatic ARIA, and intracerebral hemorrhage greater than 1 cm. Eligible participants must have been enrolled in JOY-ALZ before the decision to treat with LEQEMBI, have the clinical decision to treat already made, and provide consent to share medical information with Eisai Korea; patients in interventional trials are excluded. No investigational procedures are applied and safety data are derived from medical records and routine clinical imaging.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this will provide better real-world safety information about ARIA and serious bleeding risks with LEQEMBI in a Korean patient population, helping clinicians manage treatment.
How similar studies have gone: Prior clinical trials and early real-world reports of lecanemab/LEQEMBI have documented ARIA rates and management approaches, but comprehensive postmarketing safety data specifically in Korean populations are limited.
