This treatment is an antibody, not a drug. I don't know why they keep calling it a drug. It is a monoclonal antibody directed against one of the mis-folded proteins found in Alzheimer brains. Limited trials showed a very small positive effect, an effect that will almost certainly disappear when much larger numbers of people taking it are monitored over time. This is about making money more than anything else. It will unfortunately get people's hopes up, without providing any actual benefit.
