The company will deliver a corporate presentation at the Bank of America Securities Health Care Conference in Las Vegas on May 13, 2025, at 2:20 p.m. PT.

Alector (Nasdaq: ALEC) has completed enrollment ahead of schedule for its PROGRESS-AD Phase 2 clinical trial, evaluating AL101/GSK4527226 in early Alzheimer's disease patients. The 76-week trial, conducted in partnership with GSK, aims to assess the safety and efficacy of AL101 in slowing disease progression.

AL101 is an investigational human monoclonal antibody designed to elevate progranulin (PGRN) levels in the brain by blocking the sortilin receptor. Research has shown that reduced PGRN levels from GRN gene mutations increase Alzheimer's risk, while elevated PGRN levels demonstrate protective effects in animal models.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is evaluating two dose levels of AL101 administered intravenously. The trial's primary endpoint measures disease progression using the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR®-SB), a validated instrument tracking cognitive impairments.

Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) announced key leadership changes with Giacomo Salvadore, M.D., appointed as the new Chief Medical Officer effective April 25, 2025, replacing Gary Romano, M.D., Ph.D., who is stepping down but will continue as an advisor. Dr. Salvadore, who joined Alector in 2023 as Senior Vice President of Clinical Development, brings over 15 years of neurology-focused clinical development experience.

The company highlighted its pipeline progress, including the pivotal INFRONT-3 Phase 3 trial of latozinemab in frontotemporal dementia, with topline data expected in Q4 2025, and the PROGRESS-AD Phase 2 trial of AL101 in early Alzheimer's disease, targeting enrollment completion by mid-2025. Alector plans to advance multiple early-stage programs into IND-enabling studies later in 2025, with first-in-human trials anticipated in 2026.

Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) reported its Q4 and full year 2024 financial results, highlighting key clinical developments and financial position. The company maintains $413.4 million in cash and investments, providing runway through 2026.

Financial results show Q4 2024 collaboration revenue of $54.2 million, up from $15.2 million in Q4 2023.

Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) has outlined its strategic priorities for 2025, highlighting progress in its neurodegenerative disease treatment pipeline. The company expects topline data from the INFRONT-3 Phase 3 trial of latozinemab for FTD-GRN by Q4 2025. The PROGRESS-AD Phase 2 trial of AL101/GSK4527226 for early Alzheimer's has reached 75% enrollment, with completion expected mid-2025.

The company is advancing several preclinical programs utilizing its Alector Brain Carrier (ABC) technology, including ADP037-ABC for Alzheimer's, ADP050-ABC for Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia, and tau-blocking candidates ADP063-ABC and ADP064-ABC. With $457.2 million in cash and investments as of September 30, 2024, Alector expects to fund operations through 2026.

Alector announced disappointing results from its INVOKE-2 Phase 2 trial of AL002 for early Alzheimer's disease. The drug failed to meet its primary endpoint of slowing disease progression and showed no significant effects on secondary endpoints or biomarkers. While AL002 achieved target engagement, it did not demonstrate treatment benefits and showed ARIA-related safety concerns. Following these results, Alector is discontinuing the long-term extension study and reducing its workforce by 17%. The company will focus on other programs, including the INFRONT-3 Phase 3 trial of latozinemab and PROGRESS-AD Phase 2 trial of AL101/GSK4527226. With $457.2 million in cash reserves, Alector expects runway through 2026.

Alector has secured a flexible credit facility of up to $50 million from Hercules Capital. The company drew an initial $10 million at closing, with $15 million available through June 2026 and an additional $25 million subject to lender approval. The facility carries a low double-digit cost of capital. Alector reported $457.2 million in cash and investments as of September 30, 2024, which, excluding the credit facility, is expected to fund operations through 2026. The company anticipates key data from both the AL002 INVOKE-2 Phase 2 trial and latozinemab INFRONT-3 pivotal Phase 3 trial within this runway.
