Crenezumab is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody against human 1-40 and 1-42 beta amyloid, which is being investigated as a treatment of Alzheimer's disease.[1] Crenezumab is highly homologous to solanezumab, another monoclonal antibody targeting amyloid-β peptides.[2] In June 2022, the US National Institutes of Health announced that the drug failed as a medication for early-onset Alzheimer's disease following the results of a decade-long clinical trial.[3]
