Alzheimer's Brain Edema, Bleeding Rates Reported in Lecanemab Real-World Study
- On May 13, 2025, Algernon Pharmaceuticals announced from Vancouver its acquisition of NoBrainer Imaging Centers, entering the Alzheimer's diagnostic and treatment market.
- This move responds to growing demand for comprehensive Alzheimer’s disease clinics due to FDA approval of new antibody therapies requiring specialized PET scans for diagnosis.
- Algernon plans to open company-owned and franchised clinics in Canada and the U.S. Offering genetic testing, PET imaging using the FDA-cleared Positrigo NeuroLF scanner, and infusion therapies like Leqembi and Kisunla.
- The acquisition covers strategic regions including Florida and Los Angeles, and aims to meet the unmet need for brain-specific PET scans amid an estimated 7 million U.S. Alzheimer’s patients, 45% in early stages eligible for treatment.
- This initiative positions Algernon to capitalize on a multi-billion-dollar opportunity by bridging diagnostic gaps and expanding Alzheimer’s care access, improving early intervention and potentially slowing disease progression.
