Going forward, Biogen and Eisai won’t be splitting global profits of Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm (aducanumab), which is marketed in the US under the brand name Aduhelm, the companies announce in separate press releases.

Rather, Eisai will begin receiving tiered royalties based on net sales of the drug, which will take effect Jan. 1, 2023.
