Solanezumab (proposed INN, LY2062430[1]) is a monoclonal antibody being investigated by Eli Lilly as a neuroprotector[2] for patients with Alzheimer's disease.[3][4] The drug originally attracted extensive media coverage proclaiming it a breakthrough, but it has failed to show promise in Phase III trials.[5][6]
