- Completion of at least six Phase 2 drug trials for agents against novel targets, providing conclusive evidence of therapeutic mechanism/target engagement. Of these at least 3 trials should be in asymptomatic, at risk individuals (e.g. FAD or ApoE4 carriers, Down syndrome, amyloid positive, type II diabetes etc.)
Summary of Key Accomplishments
Five Phase 2 trials testing five new drug candidates that target multiple aspects of the disease (neuroinflammation, metabolism, synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, etc.) have been supported. These trials are using biomarkers to provide proof of mechanism and/or evidence of target engagement. One trial was successfully completed and the drug candidate, LM11A-31, a small molecule/pill with neuroprotective properties, can now be advanced to Phase 3 testing.
The key accomplishments summary is current as of March 2022.
