In an oral presentation, Prothena will highlight new preclinical data from its PRX012 program, a potential best-in-class anti-amyloid beta (Aβ) product candidate in development for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Key Points: 
  • In an oral presentation, Prothena will highlight new preclinical data from its PRX012 program, a potential best-in-class anti-amyloid beta (Aβ) product candidate in development for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
  • To build a more in-depth understanding of PRX012’s binding profile to Aβ protofibrils and its ability to clear pyroglutamate-Aβ from Alzheimer’s disease brain tissue, nonclinical studies compared a PRX012-surrogate* (PRX012s) to approved and investigational molecules.
  • Findings demonstrated that PRX012s had superior binding of 20-fold higher affinity to Aβ protofibrils as compared to lecanemab+ and mediated more robust phagocytic clearance of pyroglutamate-modified Aβ when compared to donanemab+.
  • These findings further support the ongoing clinical development of PRX012 as a potential best-in-class treatment for Alzheimer’s disease that could enable greater accessibility and more convenient administration for patients and caregivers.
