SAN DIEGO, Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Transposon Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing a platform of novel, orally administered therapies for the treatment of neurodegenerative and aging-related diseases, today announced its abstract of interim results from its Phase 2 study of TPN-101 for the treatment of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) has been accepted for poster presentation at the hybrid AD/PD™ 2024: 18th International Conference on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases. The meeting will take place online and in Lisbon, Portugal, from March 5-9, 2024.

Key Points: 
  • In the treatment group receiving 400 mg of TPN-101 once daily for 24 weeks, TPN-101 showed an 18.4% reduction in NfL levels in CSF as compared to placebo.
  • "The lowering of CSF NfL levels seen in this interim analysis provides biomarker evidence of a treatment effect on neurodegeneration.
  • We are excited about the potential of TPN-101 as a much-needed treatment option for patients with PSP.
  • Transposon will present results from the interim analysis in a poster presentation (abstract #433) at AD/PD 2024 entitled: "A Phase 2a Study of TPN-101, a Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor, in Patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy."

An additional encore oral presentation will show the final results of the phase 2 REDIRECT study with AFM13 monotherapy in a r/r PTCL patient population.

Key Points: 
  • An additional encore oral presentation will show the final results of the phase 2 REDIRECT study with AFM13 monotherapy in a r/r PTCL patient population.
  • Associated with the AFM13-induced cytotoxic activity was an increased functional activation status of AB-101 demonstrated through degranulation and IFN-γ production.
  • Importantly, in a mouse xenograft model, adoptive transfer of AB-101 in combination with AFM13 conferred tumor growth control.
  • The data of AFM13 in combination with the allogeneic, cryopreserved, off-the-shelf, cord blood-derived AB-101 NK cells demonstrate synergistic anti-tumor activity in vivo.

Upstream Bio , a clinical-stage biotech company advancing new therapies to treat inflammation, today presented new clinical data from its Phase 1 clinical study of UPB-101, a thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor (TSLPR) inhibitor, at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference in Washington, DC.

Key Points: 
  • Upstream Bio , a clinical-stage biotech company advancing new therapies to treat inflammation, today presented new clinical data from its Phase 1 clinical study of UPB-101, a thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor (TSLPR) inhibitor, at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference in Washington, DC.
  • Data from the poster presentation show that UPB-101 displayed favorable safety and tolerability following single-dose administration in healthy participants.
  • “Continuing the development of UPB-101 in our ongoing Phase 1b trial in patients with asthma and confirming extended dosing intervals is imperative.
  • A PK profile projected to maintain exposure greater than the estimated minimal therapeutic concentration when dosed at 12-week intervals.

SAN DIEGO, May 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- aTyr Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIFE), a clinical stage biotherapeutics company engaged in the discovery and development of first-in-class medicines from its proprietary tRNA synthetase platform, today announced that the company will present data for its lead therapeutic candidate, efzofitimod, at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2023 International Conference, which is scheduled to take place May 19 – 24 in Washington, DC.

Key Points: 
  • Exposure-efficacy data from Phase 1b/2a study of efzofitimod support efficacy across multiple clinically relevant endpoints in pulmonary sarcoidosis patients.
  • “We present new data showing that by binding to neuropilin-2, efzofitimod modulates immune responses through myeloid cells.
  • By targeting multiple drivers of inflammation, efzofitimod provides a differentiated approach to resolving chronic inflammation.
  • aTyr is currently conducting EFZO-FIT™, a global pivotal Phase 3 study of efzofitimod in pulmonary sarcoidosis.

The APS2 results determine whether a patient is positive or negative for brain amyloid plaques based on a binary cutoff value.

Key Points: 
  • The APS2 results determine whether a patient is positive or negative for brain amyloid plaques based on a binary cutoff value.
  • All patients received the PrecivityAD2 blood test as well as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis or an amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan.
  • The blood biomarkers showed robust clinical validity and accuracy among patients with comorbidities known to interfere with the performance of plasma.
  • This means blood biomarkers with prospectively defined endpoints, validation across multiple different independent cohorts, suitability for use in primary care, and the ability to help with both diagnosis and risk prediction.
