Biogen-Eisai's Alzheimer drug sales back to 'good growth momentum' - Jefferies
** Brokerage Jefferies says Biogen BIIB.O and Eisai's 4523.T Alzheimer's drug Leqembi earned $13.5 mln in sales in July, citing healthcare data and analytics firm Symphony
** The $3 mln month-over-month increase may suggest Leqembi is back to good growth momentum after a slow month in June where it only sold $10.6 mln or grew less than $1 mln from May - Jefferies
** "FY2024 guidance has been coming down and is now ~$196M as of this morning (we are at $199M), which may be achievable if the growth momentum continues and Leqembi adds $5-8M sales every month into YE" - brokerage
** Eli Lilly's LLY.N Alzheimer's drug Kinsula sells $122,000 in its first month of launch, after being approved on July 2 - Jefferies
** Sales would imply 45-55 patients received Kisunla in July - brokerage
** Overall we continue to believe having two drugs on the market is a net positive for BIIB/Eisai, as we expect more resources would be allocated to address the various administrative launch hurdles - Jefferies
