IONIS-MAPTRx also reduced aggregated tau pathology, as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) in all brain composites assessed.

Key Points: 
  • IONIS-MAPTRx also reduced aggregated tau pathology, as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) in all brain composites assessed.
  • In patients with AD, tau protein can form "tangles" that progressively accumulate in brain regions involved in cognition.
  • It is designed to target microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) mRNA and prevent production of tau protein.
  • In addition to Alzheimer's disease, our clinical stage neurology programs include ATTR polyneuropathy, ALS, Alexander disease, Parkinson's disease and Angelman syndrome."
