NextCure Publishes Non-Clinical Data Demonstrating Anti-Siglec-15 Treatment Prevented Bone Loss Due to Immobilization from Acute Spinal Cord Injury

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, December 21, 2023

The data demonstrated that NC605, a novel anti-Siglec-15 (S15) antibody, prevented bone loss, but more importantly preserved bone strength in animal models of severe immobilization resulting from acute spinal cord injury.

Key Points: 
  • The data demonstrated that NC605, a novel anti-Siglec-15 (S15) antibody, prevented bone loss, but more importantly preserved bone strength in animal models of severe immobilization resulting from acute spinal cord injury.
  • Following spinal cord injury, patients typically suffer rapid and extensive bone loss.
  • While anti-resorptive therapies have shown some efficacy in inhibiting bone loss, these agents also inhibit bone formation.
  • Blood and bone structure analyses revealed that the anti-S15 antibody was able to greatly inhibit bone resorption while maintaining bone formation and quality.

While anti-resorptive therapies have shown some efficacy in inhibiting bone loss, these agents also inhibit bone formation.

Key Points: 
  • While anti-resorptive therapies have shown some efficacy in inhibiting bone loss, these agents also inhibit bone formation.
  • In preclinical testing, NC605 has been shown to prevent bone loss by inhibiting osteoclast maturation and bone resorption by binding S15, which is expressed on the cell surface of immature osteoclasts and upregulated in differentiated osteoclasts.
  • Blood and bone structure analyses revealed that the anti-S15 antibody was able to greatly inhibit bone resorption while maintaining bone quality.
