The company also announced a collaboration with JCR Pharmaceuticals to develop Enhanced Brain Delivery (EBD™) therapy, combining sabirnetug with JCR's blood-brain barrier-penetrating technology.

Financial results show R&D expenses increased to $37.1 million from $19.5 million year-over-year, while net loss widened to $41.0 million from $20.5 million. Topline results from ALTITUDE-AD are expected in late 2026.

Acumen Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ABOS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments for Alzheimer's disease, has scheduled its second quarter 2025 financial results announcement for August 12, 2025.

The company will host a conference call and audio webcast at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss business updates and financial performance.

Acumen Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ABOS) presented significant findings at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) 2025 regarding their Phase 2 ALTITUDE-AD study of sabirnetug for early Alzheimer's disease. The company reported a 40% reduction in clinical trial screening costs through an innovative pTau217 blood-based screening assay.

The two-step screening process demonstrated high efficiency, with 48% of participants meeting initial pTau217 thresholds and 81% of those subsequently confirming amyloid positivity. Additionally, nonclinical studies revealed sabirnetug's superior selectivity for amyloid beta oligomers (AβOs), achieving 8,750-fold selectivity for Aβ1-42 stabilized oligomers over Aβ1-40 monomers, outperforming other tested antibodies including lecanemab and aducanumab.

Acumen Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ABOS) has entered a strategic collaboration with JCR Pharmaceuticals to develop an Enhanced Brain Delivery (EBD™) therapy for Alzheimer's disease. The partnership combines Acumen's amyloid beta oligomer-selective antibody expertise with JCR's blood-brain barrier penetrating technology (J-Brain Cargo®).

The collaboration follows over a year of feasibility work and aims to develop up to two candidates, with preclinical data expected in early 2026. Acumen's lead program, sabirnetug, has shown promising results in Phase 1 trials and is currently in a Phase 2 ALTITUDE-AD trial with 542 patients, with topline results expected in late 2026.

Under the agreement, JCR will receive an upfront payment, potential option payment, milestone payments, and single-digit percentage royalties on future sales.

Acumen Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ABOS) will present two studies at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC® 2025) in Toronto from July 27-31, 2025. The first presentation will analyze cost savings from using pTau217 as a screening tool in their Phase 2 ALTITUDE-AD trial of sabirnetug for early Alzheimer's disease. The second study will examine sabirnetug's selectivity for Aβ oligomers compared to other treatments.

The presentations will be delivered as posters on July 28 and 29, featuring findings that demonstrate the company's progress in trial design efficiency and the drug's targeted therapeutic approach. Dr. Todd Feaster and Dr. Erika N. Cline will present the respective studies, focusing on biomarker-driven screening and drug selectivity analysis.

Acumen Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ABOS) reported its Q1 2025 financial results and business updates. The company's Phase 2 ALTITUDE-AD study investigating sabirnetug (ACU193) for early Alzheimer's disease treatment is fully enrolled with 542 participants, with topline results expected in late 2026. Financial highlights include cash position of $197.9 million as of March 31, 2025, expected to fund operations into early 2027. Q1 2025 saw increased R&D expenses of $25.3 million (vs $12.4 million in Q1 2024) due to ALTITUDE-AD trial costs, while G&A expenses slightly decreased to $5.1 million. The company reported a net loss of $28.8 million for Q1 2025, compared to $14.9 million in Q1 2024. Recent developments include presentations at AD/PD conference highlighting plasma pTau217 assay results and other research findings.

Acumen Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ABOS) presented extended results from its plasma pTau217 assay screening strategy for the Phase 2 ALTITUDE-AD clinical trial of sabirnetug at the AD/PD 2025 conference in Vienna and AAN Annual Meeting in San Diego. The pTau217 enrichment strategy successfully reduced the need for amyloid PET scans and CSF testing during participant screening.

The company showcased multiple research developments, including: a method to produce stable Aβ monomers for selectivity assays, an iPSC-derived neuronal model demonstrating sabirnetug's ability to block AβO binding to synapses, and a comparative study of anti-amyloid beta antibodies' binding profiles. Additionally, biomarker results from the Phase 1 INTERCEPT-AD trial were recently published, with ongoing evaluation of synaptic biomarkers VAMP2 and neurogranin in CSF.
