Pictured: A brain hovers over a hand against a yellow-striped background/Taylor Tieden for BioSpace The first half of 2024 was filled with ups and downs for patients and researchers in the neurological disease space. The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis community took a hit when Amylyx’s Relyvrio failed its confirmatory Phase III trial and was subsequently withdrawn from the market. Huntington’s disease patients saw new hope in the form of positive mid-stage data from Wave Life Sciences. The second half of the year kicked off with the approval of a novel disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, only the second such option now available to patients. The next six months are shaping up to be just as eventful in clinical research, with key data readouts expected in Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, depression and a couple of rare diseases. Graig Suvannevejh, senior biopharmaceuticals and biotechnology equity research analyst at Mizuho Americas, noted several key upcoming data readouts in both the neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative spaces. Here are five BioSpace is keeping a close eye on. Athira Pharma’s Fosgonimeton Alzheimer’s disease Recently approved medicines Leqembi and Kisunla command the most attention in the Alzheimer’s disease treatment space as the first anti-amyloid antibodies on the market, but the experimental Alzheimer’s pipeline is still robust. One candidate with a different mechanism of action is fosgonimeton, currently in a Phase II/III trial. Topline data from the trial, which includes around 550 patients, are expected in the second half of this year. Developed by Athira Pharma, fosgonimeton is designed to modulate the HGF/MET system to activate neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory pathways in the central nervous system. Athira presented data from the Phase II SHAPE trial in Parkinson’s disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies at the AD/PD 2024 International Conference in March, showing “encouraging safety and pro-cognitive measures.” These results “underscore confidence” in the Phase II/III LIFT-AD trial in Alzheimer’s disease, according to the company’s press release. In 2022, fosgonimeton combined with standard-of-care acetylcholinesterase inhibitors missed the primary endpoint in Athira’s Phase II ACT-AD study, failing to best placebo in ERP P300 latency, a measure of working memory processing speed. However, a planned analysis of subgroup data showed cognitive and functional improvements through the drug’s modulation of the HGF/MET system, and Athira moved forward investigating fosgonimeton as a monotherapy for Alzheimer’s. AbbVie/Cerevel’s Emraclidine Schizophrenia In December 2023, AbbVie invested nearly $9 billion in the schizophrenia space with the acquisition of Cerevel Therapeutics and its late-stage asset emraclidine. (This deal has not yet closed.) Later this year, the company will learn whether its investment has paid off. Two Phase II trials, EMPOWER-1 and EMPOWER-2, comprise approximately 750 individuals in total and are projected to read out by the end of 2024. In these trials, AbbVie is seeking the rapid improvement of schizophrenia symptoms. The trials’ primary endpoint is change from baseline after six weeks on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scale. The studies are also evaluating the safety and tolerability of emraclidine, a positive allosteric modulator of the muscarinic M4 receptor. AbbVie will need strong data from the EMPOWER trials to keep pace with Bristol Myers Squibb, which is expecting an FDA decision in September on its own novel schizophrenia treatment, KarXT, which also targets the M4 as well as M1 muscarinic receptors. BMS obtained KarXT in its December acquisition of Karuna Therapeutics. “[Emraclidine] is behind,” Suvannevejh said. “Cerevel knew that they needed to play catch-up versus Karuna,” so they tried to design the Phase II studies to be large enough and robust enough to be considered by the FDA as Phase III studies. “We don't know if FDA is going to agree to that, [but] that’s what their hope is going to be.” Neumora Therapeutics’ Navacaprant Major depressive disorder Also in the neuropsychiatric space, Watertown, Mass.–based Neumora Therapeutics is expecting the first Phase III data for its lead asset navacaprant, a Kappa-opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist in development for major depressive disorder (MDD), in the fourth quarter of this year. The KOR system is a “well-characterized pathway known to mediate depressive-like states, and modulating this system represents a novel approach to treating MDD and other major neuropsychiatric disorders,” according to Neumora’s website. Mizuho is “bullish” on navacaprant’s prospects, due to “de-risking” Phase II data, validation from a competitor program, a positive reception from key opinion leaders on the KOR class and a large, addressable MDD market, Suvannevejh wrote in a July 8 investor note. “This represents a brand-new class for depression,” Suvannevejh said, adding that there is a “fair amount of industry excitement” around KOR antagonists due to the less-than-ideal side effects associated with currently marketed antidepressants. Neumora launched the Phase III trial in July 2023 after navacaprant monotherapy demonstrated “statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in symptoms of depression and anhedonia” in Phase II trial participants with moderate-to-severe MDD. If these studies are successful, Neumora intends to New Drug Application with the FDA for navacaprant in 2025. Amylyx’s AMX003 Wolfram syndrome A week after announcing the voluntary withdrawal of recently approved ALS treatment Relyvrio (AMX0035) from the U.S. and Canadian markets, Amylyx received a glimmer of hope for the drug—a combination of sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol—in another neurodegenerative condition: Wolfram syndrome. Wolfram syndrome is characterized by childhood-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and progressive optic atrophy, with many patients also developing diabetes insipidus, sensorineural hearing loss and autonomic nervous system degeneration. The multi-organ disease is caused by mutations in the WFS1 gene that lead to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, which causes “lack of function across many different cell types, and ultimately, cell death across multiple cell types, starting with beta cells in the pancreas and then moving to parts of the nervous system,” explained Justin Klee, co-CEO of Amylyx. “AMX0035 targets ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.” Interim results from the ongoing Phase II HELIOS trial showed AMX0035 improved pancreatic function and glycemic control in adult patients with the rare, inherited disease. Treatment with Amylyx’s drug led to an increase in total C-peptide response, an established marker of pancreatic beta cell function and glycemic control and the trial’s primary efficacy measure. With these data, from eight patients who had completed 24 weeks of treatment, Amylyx co-CEO Josh Cohen told BioSpace that the company plans to engage with regulators on a possible development path for AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome. Amylyx expects topline data from all 12 trial participants after 24 weeks of treatment during the second half of 2024. Vigil Neuroscience’s Iluzanebart ALSP Another company anticipating mid-stage data for a rare disease candidate is Vigil Neuroscience. Vigil is developing iluzanebart for adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP), an inherited, autosomal dominant neurological disease affecting approximately 10,000 people in the U.S. Phase II data are expected in the third quarter of 2024. ALSP is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the CSF1R gene, leading to microglial dysfunction. Iluzanebart is designed to increase signaling through DAP12/SYK to mitigate microglial dysfunction, according to Vigil. In preclinical studies, iluzanebart has “demonstrated sub-nanomolar potency and selective target engagement with TREM2,” which activates the cascade of downstream signals to mediate neuroprotective and homeostatic functions of the microglia. “It's important for Vigil and it's important for patients with this disease because there are no FDA-approved treatments . . . and Vigil is the only game in town for this disease,” Suvannevejh said. “It’s a very novel agent targeting this TREM2 mechanism of action,” and for investors, the jury is still out on whether this is an effective approach, he said.

Tokyo, Japan and Cambridge, UK, 9 May 2024 – Nxera Pharma (“the Company” or “Nxera”; TSE: 4565) notes that its partner Neurocrine Biosciences Inc. (“Neurocrine”; Nasdaq: NBIX), a leading neuroscience-focused biopharmaceutical company, announced that it has initiated its Phase 1 first-in-human clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of investigational compound NBI-1117567 in healthy adult participants – see Neurocrine press announcement here. NBI-1117567 is an investigational, oral, muscarinic M1 preferring (M1/M4) selective agonist discovered by Nxera that may have the potential to treat symptoms of cognition in patients with neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions. The clinical development milestone achieved with this compound as announced does not trigger a milestone payment from Neurocrine to Nxera under the terms of the 2021 agreement between the companies. Milestone payments, under the agreement, are payable upon the achievement of multiple, defined development events for each program. Nxera will announce the receipt of any milestone payments in accordance with TSE reporting requirements. –END– About Muscarinic Receptors Muscarinic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) found in multiple tissues including the brain, cardiovascular system, and gastrointestinal tract. Selective activation of M4 and M1 receptors in the brain is a clinically validated approach to treating cognitive and neuropsychological symptoms of neurological diseases, including Schizophrenia, dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and others. Until now, attempts to develop medicines that selectively target M4 and M1 receptors have been unsuccessful because of side effects caused by the activation of M2 and M3 receptors. Highly selective M4 or M1 agonists that do not activate M2 or M3 therefore are highly sought after and expected to have the potential to address major unmet medical needs with blockbuster potential. About the Agreement with Neurocrine Biosciences Nxera Pharma and Neurocrine BioSciences entered a collaboration and licensing agreement in November 2021 to develop novel muscarinic receptor agonists for the treatment of schizophrenia, dementia and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Under the terms of the agreement, Neurocrine gains development and commercialization rights to a broad portfolio of novel clinical and preclinical subtype-selective muscarinic M4, M1 and dual M1/M4 receptor agonists discovered by Nxera. Neurocrine is responsible for development costs associated with the programs globally, except for M1 agonists being developed in Japan. Nxera retains rights to develop M1 agonists in Japan for any indication, with Neurocrine receiving co-development and profit share options. Nxera is eligible to receive R&D funding plus development, regulatory and commercial milestones of up to US$2.6 billion, with further product royalties, provided the criteria under the agreement are satisfied.
