AC Immune to Present Advances in Alzheimer’s Programs Targeting Abeta and Tau at the 15th CTAD Conference
- New generation SupraAntigen® a liposomal vaccine platform increases immunization against disease targets in Alzheimer’s disease
- New Phospho-Tau Vaccine Data Confirm Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of ACI-35 and JACI-35, Developed in Collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceuticals
- Genentech/Roche Collaborative Partner to Present Pharmacodynamic Effects of Semorinemab on Plasma and CSF Tau Biomarkers from the “Lauriet” Phase 2 Trial in Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer’s Disease
- Banner Alzheimer’s Institute to share plasma biomarker data from API-ADAD trial evaluating anti-Abeta antibody crenezumab
Lausanne, Switzerland, November 23, 2022 – AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering precision medicine for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced upcoming presentations of its SupraAntigen vaccine technology®and its anti-Tau and anti-Abeta experimental candidates, at the 15th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) conference in San Francisco, California (USA) and online, from November 29 to December 2, 2022.
During the conference, Professor Johannes Streffer, Medical Director of AC Immune, will present interim data from the anti-phospho-Tau vaccine program currently in a phase 1b/2a study. Dr. Marie Kosco-Vilbois, Chief Scientific Officer, will detail the company’s proprietary SupraAntigen® technology platform, enabling liposome-based generation of conformation-specific antibodies and active immunotherapies.
Dr. Andrea Pfeifer, CEO of AC Immune SA, commented“These CTAD presentations showcase the ability of our experienced team to discover and develop new active targeted vaccines using our SupraAntigen®-Technological platform V. SupraAntigen® Clinical trials have shown that the vaccines are safe and generate broad polyclonal antibody responses that are highly specific for different species of neurotoxic proteins in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. This is exemplified by the polyclonal response induced by ACI-24.060, with antibodies that preferentially bind to clinically validated toxic Abeta species, oligomers and Abeta pyroglutamate, established hallmarks of AD progression. We look forward to presenting new data from our SupraAntigen at CTAD® pTau vaccine ACI-35.030, highlighting its safety, tolerability and immunogenicity profile.
Additionally, there will be fluid biomarker presentations covering the partnered programs for crenezumab anti-Abeta phase 2 antibody and semorinemab phase 2 anti-Tau antibody, both in partnership with member Genentech. from the Roche group; as well as data from the PI-2620 diagnostic candidate of the Tau Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracer, in partnership with Life Molecular Imaging (LMI).
