整理 | GLP1减重宝典内容团队 ▍GLP-1减肥神药，拟被纳入美国医保 8月1日，据外媒报道，特朗普政府正筹备一项试点计划，允许联邦医保（Medicare）和低收入人群医疗补助（Medicaid）覆盖减重药物费用， 目标是通过扩大对GLP-1类药物的可及性，缓解美国日益严重的肥胖问题。 这一举措基于拜登政府在2024年卸任前提出的初步方案。根据《华盛顿邮报》获得的美国医保与医疗补助服务中心（CMS）文件，该试点项目 将允许各州Medicaid和Medicare 的GLP-1药物提供"体重管理"用途的报销支持。 GLP-1类药物最初用于治疗2型糖尿病，因其能够通过抑制食欲、减缓胃排空等机制显著降低体重，近年来被广泛用于肥胖干预。但其高昂费用 （年均约5,000至7,000美元）引发了有关财政可持续性的担忧。 该举措也可能引发政府内部意见分歧。CMS负责人、曾公开支持GLP-1类药物的Mehmet Oz，与对其成本和依赖性提出批评的卫生部长小罗伯 特·F·肯尼迪立场并不一致，后者强调药物不能取代健康的生活方式。 目前， 包括司美格鲁肽（Ozempic、Wegovy）与替尔泊肽（Mounjaro、Zepboun ...

Core Viewpoint - Recent innovations in Alzheimer's disease drugs have shown promising results in clinical trials, particularly the long-term efficacy of therapies like donanemab, but concerns about long-term effects and safety remain [3][4]. Group 1: Clinical Trial Results - Eli Lilly's donanemab has demonstrated a significant slowing of disease progression in Alzheimer's patients over a three-year follow-up, with early treatment showing a 27% reduced risk of advancing to the next disease stage compared to delayed treatment [3][4]. - Over 75% of early-treated patients achieved amyloid clearance within 76 weeks, and the rate of amyloid plaque re-deposition was slow at approximately 2.4 CL/year during the longest observation period of 2.5 years [3][4]. Group 2: Safety and Side Effects - No new safety signals were observed during the long-term extension phase of the study, but previously noted issues related to amyloid-targeting treatments, such as ARIA (Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities), remain a concern [4]. - ARIA-related symptoms, including edema and bleeding, primarily occur within the first six months of treatment, and patients with the ApoE4 allele are at higher risk for these complications [4]. Group 3: Market Context and Patient Demographics - Donanemab was recently introduced in China, but the long-term efficacy in the Chinese patient population is yet to be validated due to the timing of its market entry [4][5]. - The earlier launched drug, lecanemab, has also shown a 34% reduction in cognitive decline over four years, with no new safety issues reported, although this data does not include Chinese patients [5]. - China has approximately 9.83 million Alzheimer's patients, with an estimated 20% being in the early stages of the disease, indicating a significant potential market for innovative treatments [5].

Core Insights - Eli Lilly announced long-term extension results from its TRAILBLAZER-ALZ2 Phase 3 clinical study, showing significant disease progression slowdown in participants treated with donanemab compared to an untreated cohort from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database [1] - The benefits of donanemab treatment continued to enhance over a three-year period, indicating sustained efficacy [1] - Participants who started treatment later still experienced benefits, but those who received early treatment had a significantly lower risk of progressing to the next stage of the disease compared to the delayed treatment group [1] - These findings were presented at the 2025 Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) held in Toronto [1]

Core Insights - The aging population in China is leading to an increased threat from Alzheimer's disease (AD), which has become the fifth leading cause of death in the country, following cardiovascular diseases, malignant tumors, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes [1] - There is a significant disease burden from Alzheimer's and other dementias in China, exceeding the global average, necessitating effective intervention measures to help patients capture the early intervention window [1] - Eli Lilly's TRAILBLAZER-ALZ2 long-term extension study results indicate that treatment with donanemab significantly slows disease progression, with benefits increasing over three years [1][2] Company Insights - Eli Lilly's TRAILBLAZER-ALZ2 study is a double-blind extension phase aimed at evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of donanemab in early symptomatic Alzheimer's patients [2] - Participants originally receiving donanemab either continued treatment or switched to a placebo, while the placebo group began receiving donanemab under blind conditions [2] - The study included an external control group from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) to measure treatment outcomes [2] Study Results - Key preliminary results from the TRAILBLAZER-ALZ2 study show that participants receiving donanemab experienced sustained clinical benefits over three years, with a 0.6-point reduction in cognitive decline at 18 months and a 1.2-point reduction at 36 months on the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) [3] - Early use of donanemab reduced the risk of disease progression to the next stage by 27% compared to delayed treatment [3] - Over 75% of participants treated with donanemab achieved amyloid clearance within 76 weeks, and the rate of amyloid plaque re-deposition remained slow at approximately 2.4 CL/year over a maximum observation period of 2.5 years [3] - No new safety signals were observed during the long-term extension phase, confirming the existing safety profile of donanemab [3]

拟议中的CMS计划将扩大覆盖范围，其中Medicaid的试点将于2026年4月启动，Medicare的试点计划则将于2027年1月开始。 诺和诺德的一位发言人拒绝对该试点计划置评，但表示： "通过政府和商业保险计划实现全面覆盖，对于实现可负担的医疗服务和治疗选择至关重要。" 这些药物在临床试验中已被证明可使体重减少15%至20%，年均费用为5000至7000美元，让人担心各州和联邦政府能否长期负担这些成本。 分析认 为，此举将标志着联邦政策的转变，此前特朗普政府在今年早些时候否决了一项拜登时代提出的将减肥药物纳入医保报销的提案。 Needham的分析师Ryan MacDonald表示，过去政府在这方面的重点是控制成本，限制覆盖范围。 "这确实像是一个重大政策立场的转变，至少在联邦医保（Medicare）方面是如此 。" 据媒体报道，目前有13个州已经为Medicaid患者报销这类药物，而Medicare则禁止为单纯用于减肥的药物提供报销，但允许用于治疗其他获批适应 症，如睡眠呼吸暂停和心脏病。 特朗普政府正考虑开展一项为期五年的医保试点计划，将包括Wegovy、Ozempic、Zepbound和Mounjar ...
