These tests can help determine if LEQEMBI is right for you

Your healthcare provider will use one of the tests below to check for amyloid brain plaque. That’s because LEQEMBI keeps working throughout treatment to remove harmful amyloid brain plaque. So it’s important to know if amyloid brain plaque is behind your symptoms.

Positron emission tomography (PET) scan icon

Amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan

This test uses a special machine that takes pictures of your brain to check for amyloid brain plaque.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) test icon

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) test

Genetic test

A gene called ApoE4 may put people at higher risk for a side effect called ARIA (amyloid-related imaging abnormalities). Your healthcare provider can test to see if you have this gene. By understanding your risk, you can better prepare for treatment with LEQEMBI.
