Active/Passive Immunotherapy |
Compound | Route of Administration |
Mechanism | Findings | Effect on α-syn | References |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Active | PD01A/AFFiRiS | Subcutaneous injection | Mimics α-syn C-terminal; acts as B cell epitope | Completed; safe and tolerable | ↓ CSF α -syn oligomers; IgG antibody response to α-syn epitope | Volc et al. (2020) |
Active | PD03A/AFFiRiS | Subcutaneous injection | Mimics α-syn C-terminal; acts as B cell epitope | Completed; safe and tolerable | Sustained IgG antibody response to α-syn epitope | Poewe et al. (2021) |
Passive | PRX002/RG7935 (Prasinezumab)/Prothena Biosciences Limited | Intravenous infusion | Targets α-syn C-terminal to halt α-syn neuronal transmission | Completed; safe and well tolerated; Phase II is ongoing | Reduced free serum α-syn | Jankovic et al. (2018) |
Passive | BIIB054 (Cinpanemab)/Biogen | Intravenous infusion | Targets aggregated α-syn | Completed; did not meet primary or secondary outcomes; Phase II terminated | BIIB054/α-syn complex formation | Brys et al. (2019) |
Passive | MEDI1341/Astra Zeneca | Intravenous infusion | Targets monomeric and aggregated aSyn | Phase I is ongoing | Currently unavailable | Schofield et al. (2019) |
