Outlook
Going forward ProMIS will focus on accelerating or re-initiating programs in our core business area, best in class therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, we will continue to expand the application of our unique discovery platform, with which we can “rationally design” antibodies or vaccines to be selective for only mis-folded, pathogenic proteins involved in disease.
In Alzheimer’s we will restart IND enabling work for PMN310, our antibody highly selective for toxic oligomers of amyloid. That selectivity may prove to give PMN310 significant competitive advantages in safety and efficacy over products from Biogen, Lilly, and Eisai that appear to provide benefit slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, starting with the same proprietary technology that creates selective antibodies (“passive” immunotherapy), we are moving forward our program to create therapeutic vaccines (“active” immunotherapy) targeting toxic oligomers of amyloid. Therapeutic vaccines may be a preferred therapy for Alzheimer’s prevention; the ultimate goal in Alzheimer’s treatment is to detect disease in the ~20 year window before symptoms arise and treat to prevent symptoms of cognitive decline.
In ALS we will advance our program targeting toxic TDP-43 with further in vitro and in vivo validation, and we will build on the significant scientific advances we have made targeting RACK1 (Receptor for A Activated C Kinase 1). We will also further advance our alpha-synuclein program with further in vivo and in vitro validation, targeting diseases like Parkinson’s disease and Multiple System Atrophy.
