Some participants complained of headache, dizziness, or pain related to the infusion, and one developed a skin rash at the infusion site.
The pharmacokinetic profile was as expected, with a half-life of 28 days and a CSF/serum ratio of 0.2 percent at all doses. The maximum concentration in blood was proportional to the antibody dose given.
The researchers are still analyzing what happens to plasma α-syn, Brys noted. This trial is ongoing, aiming to enroll 66 people, but based on the preliminary data, the researchers are already planning to take BIIB054 into Phase 2, Brys said.
In vitroIn Vienna, Andreas Weihofen of Biogen, Cambridge, Massachusetts, presented preclinical findings. In cell culture, BIIB054 reduced spreading of aggregated α-syn between neurons, and in mice injected with α-syn fibrils, BIIB054 slowed down pathology and improved motor function,

they did not include DATscan in PADOVA because he think one needs more time (2 years) to see an effect, although he would consider the use of PET DAT or VMAT2) due to their higher sensitivity to detect change.

reduction from baseline to week 52 on the primary endpoint (i.e., MDS-UPDRS) total score vs placebo in Part 1 of the study),
  • Part 1 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm study that enrolled 316 patients to evaluate the efficacy and safety of prasinezumab in patients over 52 weeks. In Part 1, patients were randomized on a 1:1:1 basis to receive one of two active doses (1500 mg or 4500/3500 mg, depending on body weight) of prasinezumab or placebo via intravenous infusion once every 4 weeks. Eligible patients were not on dopaminergic therapy (MAO-B inhibitors 허용) and were not expected to require dopaminergic therapy for at least 52 weeks.
  • Part 2 of the study, which is ongoing, is a 52-week blinded extension phase in which patients from the placebo arm of the study have been re-randomized onto one of two active doses on a 1:1 basis, so that all participants are on active treatment. Patients who were originally randomized to an active dose will continue at that dose level for the additional 52 weeks. In Part 2, patients are allowed to start dopaminergic therapy. Any patient who medically required initiation of dopaminergic therapy during Part 1 have had their subsequent data censored for the primary endpoint analysis.
Key secondary endpoints include safety, and DaT-SPECT imaging.

  • In June 2014, an eight-center, multiple-ascending-dose trial began comparing a six-month course of PRX002 to placebo in what was to be 64 people with idiopathic PD. The trial evaluated safety and pharmacokinetic parameters, included exploratory CSF, imaging, and clinical markers, and was completed in September 2016.
  • At the 2017 AD/PD conference, the trial was reported to have enrolled 84 people with mild to moderate PD and to have been safe, without anti-PRX002 antibodies or serious adverse events. Side effects included gastrointestinal complaints, infusion site rash, headaches, and peripheral edema.
  • PRX002 half-life was 14 days, and the CSF/serum ratio was 0.3 percent for all dose groups at week 9. Unbound serum α-syn dropped by up to 97 percent at the highest dose, indicating peripheral target engagement. Antibody levels rose dose-dependently in CSF,
  • but the amount of monomeric α-syn in CSF did not change. At the time, Prothena had no assay to measure the concentration of α-syn aggregates in CSF before and after treatment. To see improvement on MDS-UPDRS, see May 2017 conference news. These data were subsequently published, and the half-life estimate was revised to 10.2 days (Jankovic et al., 2018).
  • Notably, this trial explored the use of smartphone measures to monitor clinical changes, showing that they closely correlate with the MDS-UPDRS but may be more sensitive (May 2017 conference story).
P1 SAD40 healthy adults younger than 66 to compare the safety and pharmacokinetics of a single infusion of 0.3, 1, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg to placebo. This trial assessed peripheral target engagement (May 2015 news story, company press release). At the 2015 AD/PD conference, Prothena reported that the antibody was safe, well-tolerated, and dose-dependently reduced the concentration of free α-syn in the blood down to 4 percent; data were subsequently published (Schenk et al., 2017).
preclinicalIn aSyn TG mice, the murine version of prasinezumab, reduced the appearance of α-syn pathology, protected synapses and halted the worsening of behavioral phenotypes.
Prothena researchers have found that antibodies can mop up intracellular pathology as well (https://www.alzforum.org/news/conference-coverage/syn-antibodies-enter-phase-2-sans-…), composed of an anti-alpha-syn antibody and Grabody-B, a BBB-penetrating shuttle targeting insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R)

preclinical
  • By utilizing the Grabody-B platform, ABL301 is proven to enter the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of rodents and non-human primates more than an alpha-syn monoclonal antibody
  • According to ABL Bio, ABL301 have demonstrated superior BBB-penetrating capability and better efficacy to reduce brain aggregated alpha-syn in both PD and MSA mouse models, vs. monoclonal a-syn binding antibody (link)
