AC Immune is advancing a robust pipeline with ten therapeutic and three diagnostic candidates, focusing on diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU) has received approximately USD 1.5 million in grants from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. This funding will support the development of innovative small molecules aimed at inhibiting alpha-synuclein (a-syn) aggregation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in Parkinson’s disease. The grants enhance AC Immune's research capabilities and expand its portfolio, including an anti-a-syn vaccine and a novel imaging tracer, showcasing its commitment to precision medicine in treating neurodegenerative diseases.
AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU) presented promising interim Phase 1b/2a trial results for ACI-35.030, a vaccine targeting pathological tau in Alzheimer's disease, at the 14th CTAD conference. The data shows significant antibody induction against pTau and its aggregated forms, indicating strong immunogenicity. Safety data revealed no clinically relevant concerns. The trial has expanded to 24 participants to support late-stage development. The results suggest potential for early intervention in Alzheimer's treatment, with further data expected from the ongoing study.
AC Immune announced positive topline results from its Phase 2 Lauriet study of semorinemab, an anti-Tau monoclonal antibody for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The study achieved a 43.6% reduction in cognitive decline at week 49 as measured by the ADAS-Cog11 scale, confirming the treatment's efficacy across various subgroups. However, it did not meet the second co-primary endpoint related to daily living activities. Safety results were positive, indicating semorinemab had an acceptable safety profile with no unexpected adverse events. The ongoing open-label study aims to further assess long-term effects.
AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU) reported progress in its clinical trials and financial results for Q3 2021, achieving its first positive cognitive results for a Tau-targeting monoclonal antibody in Alzheimer’s disease. The Phase 2 Lauriet trial showed a statistically significant 43.6% reduction in cognitive decline. The company enhanced its portfolio through the acquisition of an alpha-synuclein vaccine candidate. Financially, AC Immune holds CHF 188.6 million in cash, sufficient to fund operations through Q1 2024, despite a net loss of CHF 15.9 million for the quarter.
AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU), a biopharmaceutical company based in Switzerland, is extending its research partnership with the University of Pennsylvania focused on TDP-43 proteinopathies.
