Clinical Pharmacology and Approach to Dose Selection of Emestedastat, a Novel Tissue Cortisol Synthesis Inhibitor for the Treatment of Central Nervous System Disease
Review
作者: Woodward, Michael ; Harrison, John ; Mills, Richard ; Seckl, Jonathan ; Rolan, Paul ; Jaros, Mark ; Taylor, Jack ; Maruff, Paul ; Hilt, Dana
Abstract:
This review demonstrates the value of central pharmacodynamics (PD), including positron emission tomography (PET) and computerized cognitive testing, to supplement pharmacokinetic (PK) and peripheral PD for determining the target dose range for clinical efficacy testing of emestedastat, an 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β‐HSD1) inhibitor. Combined data from 6 clinical trials in cognitively normal volunteers and patients with Alzheimer disease included a population PK model, endocrine PD, a human PET trial (11β‐HSD1 brain imaging), and computerized cognitive testing. PK and PET findings were similar in volunteers and patients with Alzheimer disease. PK modeling suggested that 20 mg daily would be optimal to maintain cerebrospinal fluid concentrations above the brain half maximal inhibitory concentration. However, subsequent PET scanning suggested that emestedastat doses of 10 or even 5 mg daily may be sufficient to adequately inhibit 11β‐HSD1. With once‐daily doses of 5‐20 mg in cognitively normal, older volunteers, a consistent pattern of pro‐cognitive benefit, without dose‐response, was seen as improvement in attention and working memory but not episodic memory. Thus, emestedastat therapeutic activity might be attained at doses lower than those predicted from cerebrospinal fluid drug levels. Doses as low as 5 mg daily may be efficacious and were studied in subsequent trials.

Plasma pTau181 Predicts Clinical Progression in a Phase 2 Randomized Controlled Trial of the 11β-HSD1 Inhibitor Xanamem® for Mild Alzheimer’s Disease
Article
作者: Chen, Christopher ; Jaros, Mark ; Harrison, John ; Taylor, Jack ; Hilt, Dana
Background: Blood biomarkers are proposed as a diagnostic alternative to amyloid PET or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analyses for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Relatively little is known of the natural history of patients identified by different blood biomarkers. Objective: To identify patients with elevated plasma phosphorylated tau (pTau)181 from a prior Phase 2a trial, and explore the natural histories of their clinical progression, and potential efficacy of Xanamem, a selective inhibitor of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) in these patients. Methods: A prespecified, double-blind analysis was conducted in 72 participants with clinically diagnosed AD and available plasma samples from baseline and Week 12 of the “XanADu” Phase 2a trial of Xanamem versus placebo. The analysis prespecified plasma pTau181 > median to identify patients more likely to have AD (“H”, > 6.74 pg/mL, n = 34). Cohen’s d (d) of≥0.2 defined potential clinical significance. Results: In the placebo group, H patients showed greater clinical progression compared to L patients (pTau181≤median) on ADCOMS (d = 0.55, p < 0.001), CDR-SB (d = 0.63, p < 0.001), MMSE (d = 0.52, p = 0.12), and ADAS-Cog14 (d = 0.53, p = 0.19). In H patients, a potentially clinically meaningful Xanamem treatment effect compared to placebo was seen in the CDR-SB (LS mean difference 0.6 units, d = 0.41, p = 0.09) and Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB; LS mean difference 1.8 units, d = 0.26, p = 0.48) but not ADCOMS or ADAS-Cog14. Conclusions: This trial demonstrates that elevated plasma pTau181 identifies participants more likely to have progressive AD and is a suitable method for enrichment in AD clinical trials. Xanamem treatment showed evidence of potential clinically meaningful benefits.

Brain 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 Occupancy by Xanamem™ Assessed by PET in Alzheimer’s Disease and Cognitively Normal Individuals
Article
作者: Taylor, Jack ; Mulligan, Rachel ; Doré, Vincent ; Feizpour, Azadeh ; Chong, Lee ; Villemagne, Victor L. ; Kassiou, Michael ; Miller, Tamara ; Roesner, Miriam ; Rowe, Christopher C.
Background: 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) regulates intracellular cortisol and its inhibition by the small molecule inhibitor, Xanamem™, may provide a disease-modifying strategy for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Animal models suggest a range of 30–60% enzyme inhibition may suffice to provide neuroprotection. Objective: To determine the regional brain occupancy of 11β-HSD1 by Xanamem™ in cognitively normal participants (CN) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI)/mild AD patients to investigate potential dosing ranges for future efficacy studies. Methods: Seventeen MCI/AD and 23 CN were included. Regional brain time-activity curves (TAC), standardized uptake values (SUV40–60) and volume of distribution (VT) from Logan plot with image derived input function from 11C-TARACT positron emission tomography (PET) were used to assess the degree of 11β-HSD1 occupancy by increasing doses of Xanamem™ (5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg or 30 mg daily for 7 days). Results: All measures showed high 11β-HSD1 occupancy with Xanamem to similar degree in CN and MCI/AD. The dose-response relationship was relatively flat above 5 mg. Respective median (interquartile range [Q1-Q3]) 11β-HSD1 occupancy in the MCI/AD and CN groups after treatment with 10 mg Xanamem were 80% [79–81%] and 75% [71–76%] in the neocortex, 69% [64–70%] and 61% [52–63%] in the medial temporal lobe, 80% [79–80%] and 73% [68–73%] in the basal ganglia, and 71% [67–75%] and 66% [62–68%] in the cerebellum. Conclusions: TAC, SUV40–60, and VT measures indicate Xanamem achieves high target occupancy levels with near saturation at 10 mg daily. These data support exploration of doses of≤10 mg daily in future clinical studies.

注: Tacrine因肝毒性于2012年退市[1][2]。1.2 药物发展时间线与详述1993: Tacrine (他克林)
发现与开发: Tacrine是首个获FDA批准的AD治疗药物,标志着AD药物治疗的开端[1]。它于1986年开始临床试验,1993年9月9日获批用于轻至中度AD[2]。Tacrine是一种非选择性胆碱酯酶抑制剂,可同时抑制乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)和丁酰胆碱酯酶(BuChE)[3]。
作用机制: 通过抑制AChE降解乙酰胆碱,增加突触间隙乙酰胆碱浓度,改善胆碱能神经传递[4]。
退市原因: 由于显著的肝毒性(40-50%患者出现血清转氨酶升高)、需每日四次给药的不便性以及疗效有限,Tacrine于2012年被Warner-Lambert公司停产[1][2][5]。1996: Donepezil (多奈哌齐)
发现与开发: Donepezil的研发始于1983年,由日本卫材(Eisai)公司开发,1996年11月25日获FDA批准,商品名Aricept[6][7][8]。它是tacrine退市后AD治疗的主导药物,至今仍是全球处方量最大的AD药物[9]。2022年,透皮贴剂剂型(Adlarity)获批,改善了给药依从性[10]。
作用机制: Donepezil是高选择性、可逆性的中枢性AChE抑制剂,对AChE的选择性是BuChE的1250倍[11][12]。其半衰期长达70小时,允许每日一次给药[13]。
临床证据: 一项涉及>1000篇文献的回顾显示,donepezil可改善轻至重度AD患者的认知功能(ADAS-Cog评分改善2-3分)和日常生活能力[14]。网络meta分析表明,donepezil在认知改善方面显示最高疗效水平[15]。
药物基因组学: CYP2D6和CYP3A4基因多态性影响donepezil代谢,但尚未在临床常规应用[14]。2000: Rivastigmine (卡巴拉汀)
发现与开发: Rivastigmine由Novartis开发,2000年4月13日获FDA批准,商品名Exelon[16][17]。它是首个获批用于轻至中度AD的双重胆碱酯酶抑制剂[18]。透皮贴剂剂型于2007年获批,显著降低了胃肠道副作用[19]。
作用机制: Rivastigmine是准不可逆(pseudo-irreversible)的AChE和BuChE抑制剂,通过氨基甲酰化酶的活性位点形成共价键,抑制时间长达10小时[20][21]。其独特之处在于同时抑制两种胆碱酯酶,理论上可提供更广泛的胆碱能增强[22]。
临床证据: 在轻至中度AD患者中,rivastigmine可改善认知功能和日常生活能力,疗效与donepezil相当[23]。透皮贴剂显示出更好的耐受性,胃肠道副作用发生率降低50%[24]。
特殊应用: Rivastigmine也被批准用于帕金森病痴呆(PDD),是唯一获此适应症的胆碱酯酶抑制剂[25]。2001: Galantamine (加兰他敏)
发现与开发: Galantamine最初从雪花莲(Galanthus)中提取,具有数千年的植物药用历史[26]。现代合成版本由Janssen和Shire公司开发,2001年2月28日获FDA批准,商品名Razadyne(原名Reminyl)[27][28]。
作用机制: Galantamine具有双重作用机制:(1)竞争性、可逆性AChE抑制;(2)变构调节烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体(nAChRs),特别是α4β2和α7亚型,增强胆碱能神经传递[29][30][31]。这种独特的烟碱受体调节作用理论上可提供神经保护效应[32]。
临床证据: 在轻至中度AD患者中,galantamine显示出与donepezil相当的认知改善效果[15]。网络meta分析显示galantamine在认知功能改善方面排名第一或第二[15][33]。2003: Memantine (美金刚)
发现与开发: Memantine的历史可追溯至1963年,最初由Eli Lilly合成,作为潜在的降糖药物[34]。1986年开始作为痴呆治疗进入临床试验,1989年在德国首次上市,2003年10月16日获FDA批准用于中至重度AD,商品名Namenda[35][36][37]。
作用机制: Memantine是首个也是唯一获批的NMDA(N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸)受体非竞争性拮抗剂,具有中等亲和力(Ki=0.5μM)和快速解离动力学[38][39]。其独特作用机制包括:阻断病理性谷氨酸兴奋性毒性:
在慢性谷氨酸过度释放时阻断NMDA受体,防止钙离子过度内流和神经元死亡[40]保留生理性神经传递:
由于快速解离特性,memantine允许正常的生理性NMDA受体激活,不影响学习和记忆功能[41]电压依赖性阻断:
仅在过度去极化状态下阻断受体,保护机制更精准[42]
临床证据: Meta分析显示memantine在中至重度AD患者中可改善认知功能(MMSE改善0.99分)、整体功能和日常生活能力[43][44]。与胆碱酯酶抑制剂联合使用可能产生协同效应[45]。
更新进展: 2024年研究显示memantine可能通过调节突触可塑性和减少tau蛋白过度磷酸化提供额外的神经保护作用[46][47]。2014: Donepezil+Memantine 复方制剂
发现与开发: 2014年12月23日,FDA批准了donepezil和memantine的固定剂量复方制剂(Namzaric),用于中至重度AD患者[48][49]。这是首个结合胆碱能增强和谷氨酸调节的复方制剂。
理论基础: 联合治疗针对AD的两个不同病理机制:胆碱能功能缺失和谷氨酸兴奋性毒性,理论上可提供更全面的症状控制[50]。
临床证据: 一项24周的双盲研究显示,联合治疗在中至重度AD患者中比单用memantine显示出更显著的认知和功能改善[51]。长期研究(52周)显示联合治疗延缓了认知衰退和功能恶化[52]。1.3 小分子药物的局限性
尽管这些小分子药物已使用20-30年,但它们仅提供症状性治疗,不能改变疾病进程[53][54]。Meta分析显示,胆碱酯酶抑制剂的平均疗效仅为2-3个ADAS-Cog评分点,临床意义有限[55][56]。此外,约30-50%患者因胃肠道副作用(恶心、呕吐、腹泻)而停药[57]。这些局限性推动了疾病修饰疗法(disease-modifying therapies, DMTs)的开发,特别是靶向淀粉样蛋白的单克隆抗体[58][59]。2. 靶向Aβ的单克隆抗体:三款上市药物的深度分析2.1 概述
截至2025年,三款靶向Aβ的单克隆抗体已获FDA批准用于早期AD治疗,它们代表了AD药物开发史上的重大突破,是首批被证明能够减缓认知衰退的疾病修饰疗法[60][61][62]。

FDA授予完全批准,成为第二款获完全批准的抗Aβ抗体[122][123]2.4.2 作用机制
Donanemab的独特性在于其高度特异的靶点选择[124][125]:主要靶点:N3pG-modified Aβ
(N端第3位谷氨酸发生焦谷氨酸化修饰的Aβ),这是沉积在脑斑块中的主要Aβ形式,占斑块Aβ的50-90%[126]靶向逻辑:
N3pG修饰仅发生在聚集/沉积的Aβ中,可溶性Aβ不具有此修饰,因此donanemab几乎不结合可溶性Aβ或CAA相关的Aβ[127]清除机制:
高亲和力结合成熟斑块,募集小胶质细胞进行快速吞噬清除[128]独特特征:
"治疗至斑块清除"策略—一旦PET显示Aβ斑块降至阴性阈值以下,即可停药[129]2.4.3 临床数据

降低高达43%,提示强劲的下游病理改善[137]
停药策略的可行性:40.9%的donanemab治疗患者在76周内达到Aβ阴性并停药,其中大多数在停药后仍维持临床获益[138]。这一策略可能显著降低长期治疗成本和ARIA风险。
安全性特征:ARIA-E:

31.4%(微出血19.7%),高于lecanemab,可能与对斑块的强力清除作用有关[140]3例ARIA相关死亡:

尽管三款抗体均为人源化IgG1,但在结合特异性和亲和力上存在显著差异[143][144]。

Aducanumab的"广谱"问题:Aducanumab结合Aβ的N端3-7位氨基酸序列(EFRH),该表位在所有聚集形式和部分单体中暴露[145]。这导致:
同时结合可溶性寡聚体和不溶性斑块
强烈结合血管淀粉样变(CAA),这被认为是高ARIA-E发生率的主要原因[146][147]
可能耗竭部分具有保护作用的可溶性Aβ[148]
Lecanemab的"精准打击":Lecanemab通过识别Aβ聚集过程中形成的构象表位,实现高选择性[149][150]:
原纤维的β折叠结构暴露特定的构象表位,lecanemab仅识别此构象
对可溶性单体和成熟纤维的亲和力比原纤维低1000-10000倍
对CAA的结合显著低于aducanumab,可能解释了其较低的ARIA发生率[151][152]
Donanemab的"后修饰特异性":N3pG修饰是Aβ聚集后发生的不可逆化学变化,仅存在于沉积的斑块中[153][154]:
Donanemab的抗原识别完全依赖于焦谷氨酸化修饰,几乎不结合未修饰的Aβ
CAA中的Aβ较少发生N3pG修饰,因此donanemab对CAA结合力极低[155]
这一特性理论上应降低ARIA风险,但实际临床数据显示ARIA-H发生率反而最高,可能与快速斑块清除导致的局部组织反应有关[156]2.6 结合能力越强,疗效是否越好?深度分析
这是AD药物开发中的一个关键悖论:更强的Aβ结合力不一定带来更好的临床疗效,反而可能增加安全性风险[157][158]。2.6.1 Aβ清除率与认知疗效的关系

关键发现:Aβ清除与疗效非线性关系:
Donanemab的Aβ清除率最高(84.8%),认知疗效也最强;但aducanumab清除率达59-71%时,疗效仅22%且试验结果不一致[159][160]。"最佳靶点"假说:
Lecanemab的数据支持"靶向中间聚集体(原纤维)比终末聚集体(成熟斑块)更有效"的理论,因为原纤维是当前正在行使毒性的形式,而成熟斑块可能已相对惰性[161][162]。时机窗口至关重要:
TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2显示,在低/中度tau患者(疾病更早期)中疗效显著更强(35% vs 11%),提示Aβ清除的获益在tau病理尚未广泛扩散前最大[163][164]。2.6.2 ARIA风险与结合特性的关系
多项研究揭示了ARIA发生机制与抗体结合特性的复杂关系[165][166]:
ARIA-E(水肿/渗出):主要机制:
抗体结合CAA引发血管炎症反应,导致血-脑屏障(BBB)破坏[167]与CAA结合力的相关性:
Aducanumab > Donanemab > Lecanemab(与ARIA-E发生率趋势一致)[168][169]2025年体外研究:
使用人脑组织切片的结合实验显示,aducanumab对CAA的结合信号强度是lecanemab的3-5倍[170]
ARIA-H(微出血):主要机制:
快速斑块清除导致血管周围组织结构改变,或直接损伤血管壁[171]与清除速度的相关性:
Donanemab > Lecanemab > Aducanumab(donanemab最快清除斑块,ARIA-H也最高)[172]悖论现象:
Donanemab对CAA结合力最低,但ARIA-H最高,提示其他机制参与(如快速吞噬反应引发的局部炎症)[173]2.6.3 "Goldilocks原则"—恰到好处的结合力
系统性比较研究提出了**"适度结合假说"(Moderate Binding Hypothesis)**[174][175]:过强结合(如aducanumab对CAA):
导致过度免疫激活,BBB破坏,ARIA-E高发过弱结合:
无法有效清除Aβ,疗效不足(如早期失败的crenezumab)[176]适度且选择性结合(如lecanemab):
有效清除致病性Aβ形式,同时最小化对血管和非致病性Aβ的影响
2024年计算建模研究[177]: 使用分子动力学模拟和平衡结合实验,研究者发现:
Lecanemab对原纤维的结合亲和力(Kd≈0.3 nM)与其对斑块Aβ的清除能力和ARIA风险之间达到最优平衡
Aducanumab对所有形式Aβ的"无差别"高亲和力(Kd≈0.5-2 nM)导致靶向特异性不足
Donanemab对N3pG-Aβ的极高特异性(Kd<0.1 nM)虽然最小化了脱靶效应,但快速清除动力学可能触发过度的炎症反应2.6.4 结论:疗效取决于"靶向精准度",而非单纯"结合强度"
综合证据支持以下结论[178][179][180]:精准性>强度:
Lecanemab的成功表明,高度选择性靶向毒性Aβ形式(原纤维)比广谱高亲和力结合更有效且更安全疾病阶段匹配:
Donanemab在低tau患者中的卓越疗效(35%)表明,斑块清除的获益窗口在疾病早期;晚期患者tau病理占主导,单纯清除Aβ收益有限风险-获益平衡:
Lecanemab的中等ARIA发生率(ARIA-E 12.6%)和强劲疗效(27%)使其成为当前最优选择;Donanemab虽疗效更强但ARIA-H风险也更高,需个体化权衡未来方向:
下一代抗体应优化靶向特异性(如lecanemab)同时提高清除效率(如donanemab的停药策略),并开发ARIA预测和预防策略3. 已失败的AD药物:教训与启示
AD药物开发是失败率最高的领域之一,2002-2022年间成功率仅3.6%[181][182]。理解失败原因对未来药物开发至关重要。3.1 失败药物汇总

疗效证据不足,设计缺陷[214][215]3.2 失败模式分析3.2.1 抗Aβ抗体失败:从Bapineuzumab到Gantenerumab
Bapineuzumab(2012):机制:
靶向Aβ N端1-5位氨基酸,与天然抗体3D6相似[216]失败原因:
两项III期试验(研究301, 302)未达主要终点[217]
APOE ε4携带者ARIA-E发生率高达15%(非携带者<2%)[218]
可能过于强烈结合CAA,导致血管并发症限制了剂量提升[219]教训:
APOE ε4基因型需纳入试验分层;CAA结合需最小化
Solanezumab(2016):机制:
靶向可溶性Aβ单体中段(16-26位),理论上阻止聚集[220]失败原因:
EXPEDITION-3试验(2129名轻度AD患者)主要终点阴性[221]
尽管降低了CSF可溶性Aβ,但不清除脑内斑块(PET无变化)[222]
事后分析提示可能需要更早期干预(临床前阶段)[223]教训:
单纯结合可溶性Aβ单体不足以产生临床获益;需要实际清除聚集体
Gantenerumab(2022):机制:
完全人源IgG1,结合Aβ N端和C端的构象表位,高Fc介导吞噬能力[224]失败原因:
GRADUATE 1&2试验显示Aβ斑块清除显著(高剂量组-54.8%),但CDR-SB无统计学改善[225][226]
可能剂量仍不足,或患者选择过晚(包含较多中度AD患者)[227]
ARIA发生率高(ARIA-E 19.6%, ARIA-H 28.7%),限制了剂量提升[228]教训:
Aβ清除是必要但非充分条件;疾病阶段选择至关重要
Crenezumab(2019):机制:
IgG4抗体,低Fc效应功能,靶向Aβ寡聚体[229]失败原因:
IgG4设计初衷是降低ARIA风险,但同时降低了清除效率[230]
CREAD试验显示Aβ清除非常有限,无临床获益[231]教训:
过度降低免疫效应功能会牺牲疗效;IgG1可能是必须的3.2.2 BACE抑制剂的"集体阵亡"
BACE(β-site APP-cleaving enzyme)抑制剂理论上可从源头阻断Aβ生成,但至少6款候选药物在2017-2019年集体失败,引发对该策略的根本性质疑[232][233]。
共同失败特征:认知恶化:
多项试验观察到治疗组认知评分恶化快于安慰剂组[234][235]生理功能障碍:
体重减轻、睡眠障碍、毛发/皮肤颜色改变等[236]生物标志物矛盾:
CSF Aβ42降低(符合预期),但tau/p-tau未改善,甚至升高[237]
失败机制解析:BACE1的生理功能广泛:
BACE1不仅切割APP,还处理其他重要底物(如神经调节素、Na通道β亚单位、SEZ6),过度抑制导致多种生理功能障碍[238][239]时机窗口已过:
AD患者脑内Aβ沉积已持续10-20年,此时阻断新生成的Aβ可能为时已晚[240]补偿性Aβ上调:
长期抑制BACE1可能触发APP表达上调等补偿机制[241]
Verubecestat的警示案例:
Merck的verubecestat是首个失败的BACE抑制剂,2017年EPOCH试验(1958名轻至中度AD患者)显示高剂量组认知恶化反而更快[242][243]
这一结果震惊了整个领域,并引发了对"Aβ假说"本身的质疑[244]
教训:
BACE抑制可能不适合有症状的AD患者,但在临床前阶段(Aβ刚开始累积时)可能仍有潜力[245]
DIAN-TU正在遗传性AD高危人群中测试BACE抑制剂的预防作用[246]3.2.3 抗Tau抗体:为何全军覆没?
至今已有至少4款抗tau抗体在II期试验失败,无一进入III期[247][248]。
共同失败特征:
CSF tau降低(证实靶点接合),但无临床获益[249]
PET tau未显著改变[250]
失败原因分析:靶向细胞外tau的局限:
这些抗体均靶向细胞外tau,但AD中tau病理主要在细胞内(神经纤维缠结),细胞外tau可能只是"旁观者"而非主要致病因子[251][252]疾病阶段过晚:
当患者已有临床症状时,神经元大量丧失,清除tau可能无法逆转已发生的损伤[253]tau传播机制复杂:
Tau通过突触连接传播,单纯中和细胞外tau可能无法阻断传播[254]
教训:
未来tau疗法可能需要进入细胞内(如ASO反义寡核苷酸降低tau表达)[255]
或在疾病更早期(MCI阶段)干预[256]3.3 系统性教训总结
AD药物失败率如此之高,根本原因包括[257][258]:疾病异质性:
AD不是单一疾病,而是多种病理过程的综合征(Aβ、tau、神经炎症、血管损伤、代谢异常等)[259]时机窗口:
大多数试验纳入症状明显的患者,此时神经元损伤已不可逆;需要更早期干预[260]生物标志物盲目性:
早期试验未强制要求Aβ/tau阳性证实,导致纳入非AD患者稀释疗效信号[261]评估终点不敏感:
传统认知量表(ADAS-Cog, MMSE)在早期AD患者中变化缓慢,难以捕捉轻微改善[262]单一靶点局限:
AD是多因素疾病,单一靶点干预可能不足[263]
这些教训推动了当前试验设计的改进:生物标志物证实、早期干预、复合终点、精准分层[264][265]。4. 在研靶向药物管线(2025)
尽管经历了无数失败,AD药物管线依然活跃。2025年报告显示,有138个新药在182项临床试验中,较2024年增长9%[266][267]。4.1 在研靶向药物列表

Trontinemab (RO7126209)是罗氏在gantenerumab失败后开发的新一代抗Aβ抗体,通过优化选择性(高亲和力结合原纤维,低结合单体)和减弱Fc功能降低ARIA风险[503][504]。
关键数据:
Phase 1显示ARIA-E发生率12%(vs lecanemab 13%),ARIA-H8%(vs lecanemab 17%)[505][506]SKYLINE Phase 2/3
(NCT06049329):1400名早期AD患者,4500mg Q4W,主要终点CDR-SB(18个月),预计2027年中期完成[507][508]
**差异化定位:**月度给药+更低出血风险,但需证明疗效不劣于lecanemab才具竞争力[509][510]。4.2 重点在研药物详述4.2.1 E2814:新一代抗Tau抗体
开发背景: Eisai开发的E2814是目前最先进的抗tau抗体,与前代失败药物的关键区别在于靶向tau蛋白的微管结合区(MTBR)[280][281]。
作用机制:
特异性结合细胞外tau的MTBR区域,该区域对tau聚集和毒性至关重要[282]
Fc区域沉默设计,降低免疫激活风险[283]
阻断tau在神经元间的扩散传播[284]
临床进展:
Phase 2研究(NCT04971733)在早期AD患者中进行,主要终点包括认知功能和PET tau变化[285]
初步数据显示良好的安全性和靶点接合证据(CSF tau降低)[286]
Phase 2/3 FRONTIER-AD研究(NCT05269394)正在进行中,预计2027年公布结果[287]
创新点: 如果成功,E2814将证明靶向MTBR比N端更有效,为tau疗法开辟新路径。4.2.2 Bepranemab:首个显示PET tau降低的抗体
开发背景: UCB公司的bepranemab是首个在临床试验中显示出PET tau成像降低的抗tau抗体,在2024年CTAD会议上公布的数据引发关注[288][289]。
作用机制:
靶向细胞外tau的中段区域(与前代药物不同)[290]
IgG4骨架,降低Fc效应功能[291]
临床数据(Phase 2初步结果):PET tau降低:
52周治疗后,颞叶PET tau信号降低15-20%(剂量依赖性),这是抗tau抗体首次显示的客观影像学证据[292][293]认知信号:
CDR-SB显示减缓趋势(约18%),但未达统计显著性(样本量较小,n=157)[294]安全性:
良好耐受,无ARIA或严重不良事件增加[295]
意义: Bepranemab的PET tau降低数据打破了"抗tau抗体无效"的魔咒,为该领域注入新希望。Phase 2b扩展研究(SAKURA, NCT05269394)正在招募更大样本量以验证疗效[296]。4.2.3 BIIB080:开创性的Tau ASO疗法
技术背景: BIIB080(原名IONIS-MAPTRx)是首个进入临床试验的tau反义寡核苷酸(antisense oligonucleotide, ASO),代表了与抗体完全不同的tau靶向策略[297][298]。
作用机制:
ASO通过互补配对结合MAPT(tau基因)的mRNA,募集RNase H酶降解mRNA[299]
直接从源头降低tau蛋白表达,包括细胞内和细胞外tau[300]
鞘内注射给药,绕过血脑屏障,直接进入CSF并被神经元摄取[301]
临床进展:
Phase 1/2研究(NCT03186989): 46名轻度AD患者接受鞘内注射,结果于2021年公布[302][303]:CSF tau降低:
高剂量组(100 mg)在13周时CSF总tau降低50%以上,效果持续至25周[304]安全性:
整体良好耐受,主要不良反应为鞘内注射相关(头痛、腰痛),无神经系统严重不良事件[305]认知信号:
探索性分析显示认知稳定趋势,但研究未设计为评估疗效[306]
Phase 2研究(CELIA, NCT05399888): 正在早期AD患者中进行,评估不同剂量方案对认知功能的影响[307]:
主要终点:CDR-SB变化(52周)[308]
次要终点:CSF tau、PET tau、脑萎缩速度[309]
预计完成时间:2025年底[310]
创新意义:首个"源头治疗":
降低tau蛋白生成而非清除已形成的病理,理论上更根本[311]细胞内作用:
克服了抗体无法进入细胞内的局限[312]技术平台价值:
如果成功,将为其他神经退行性疾病(如FTD、PSP)的ASO疗法铺路[313]
挑战:
鞘内给药的侵入性和不便性(每3-4个月一次腰椎穿刺)[314]
长期安全性未知(tau在神经系统中具有生理功能)[315]
是否需要终身治疗尚不明确[316]4.2.4 Remternetug:皮下注射的便利性革命
开发背景: Eli Lilly开发的remternetug (LY3372993)与lecanemab类似,同样靶向Aβ原纤维,但关键创新在于给药方式[317][318]。
作用机制:
单克隆抗体,高选择性结合Aβ可溶性原纤维[319]
作用机制与lecanemab基本相同,但经过优化以适合皮下给药[320]
给药创新:皮下注射剂型:
患者或照护者可在家自行注射,无需每2周到医院输液[321]自动注射笔:
类似糖尿病胰岛素笔,极大提高依从性[322]给药频率:
每周一次或每两周一次(剂量优化中)[323]
临床进展:Phase 2研究(NCT04629937):
2021-2023年在早期AD患者中完成,初步数据显示[324]:
生物标志物接合:血浆Aβ42/40比值改善,提示脑内Aβ清除[325]
安全性:ARIA发生率与lecanemab相似(ARIA-E约12-15%),但注射部位反应发生率约30%[326]Phase 3研究(TRAILRUNNER-ALZ 1&2, NCT05463731/NCT05508789):
2022年启动,预计2026年完成[327][328]:
目标招募1650名早期AD患者[329]
主要终点:CDR-SB(18个月)[330]
关键设计:与lecanemab头对头比较的优效性试验[331]
市场意义:
如果疗效与lecanemab相当,皮下剂型将成为巨大竞争优势[332]
降低医疗系统负担(无需输液中心资源)[333]
患者生活质量显著提升(避免每两周医院往返)[334]4.2.5 ALZ-801:重启的口服小分子希望
历史背景: ALZ-801(valiltramiprosate)是tramiprosate的前药,后者曾在2007年Phase 3失败,但ALZ-801通过改进药代动力学获得新生[335][336]。
作用机制:
小分子,与Aβ单体结合,阻止其聚集为寡聚体和原纤维[337][338]

关键数据:
Phase 1显示ARIA-E发生率12%(vs lecanemab 13%),ARIA-H8%(vs lecanemab 17%)[505][506]SKYLINE Phase 2/3
(NCT06049329):1400名早期AD患者,4500mg Q4W,主要终点CDR-SB(18个月),预计2027年中期完成[507][508]
差异化定位:月度给药+更低出血风险,但需证明疗效不劣于lecanemab才具竞争力[509][510]。5.2 重点非靶向机制深度解析5.2.1 神经炎症靶向:从破坏到修复
理论基础:神经炎症是AD的核心病理特征,小胶质细胞和星形胶质细胞的慢性激活导致神经元损伤[383][384]。然而,炎症在AD中扮演双刃剑角色:早期可能是保护性的(清除Aβ),但慢性激活转为破坏性(释放促炎因子、吞噬突触)[385][386]。因此,治疗策略需要"精准调节"而非简单"抑制"。
AL002 (latozinemab) - TREM2激动:TREM2(Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2):
小胶质细胞表面受体,其功能缺失突变显著增加AD风险(OR=2-4)[387][388]作用机制:
AL002激动TREM2,增强小胶质细胞的"良性"功能(Aβ吞噬、碎片清除),同时抑制过度炎症反应[389][390]Phase 1数据:
安全性良好,CSF可溶性TREM2增加(证实靶点接合)[391]Phase 2进展(INVOKE-2, NCT04592874):
在早期AD患者中评估认知和生物标志物变化,预计2026年公布[392]
挑战: TREM2激动是否真正转化为临床获益尚待验证;小胶质细胞激活的时机和程度难以精准控制[393]。
Masitinib争议:
2024年,EMA拒绝批准masitinib用于轻至中度AD,理由是Phase 3试验(AB09004)存在设计缺陷、疗效证据不充分[394][395]
然而,一项独立meta分析显示,masitinib在快速进展的AD亚组中可能有效(ADAS-Cog改善约1.5-2分)[396]
教训:神经炎症调节剂需要更精准的患者选择(如基于神经炎症PET成像分层)[397]5.2.2 肠道菌群-脑轴:GV-971的中国奇迹?
GV-971 (Sodium Oligomannate):发现:
由中国科学院、上海药物所和上海绿谷制药联合开发,从海洋褐藻中提取的寡糖衍生物[398]作用机制(多靶点):
[399][400]肠道菌群重塑:
抑制条件致病菌(如Bacteroides fragilis),增加有益菌,降低肠道产生的神经毒性代谢物(如苯丙氨酸和异亮氨酸)[401]外周免疫调节:
减少促炎性Th1细胞向脑内浸润[402]中枢神经炎症抑制:
降低小胶质细胞和星形胶质细胞激活[403]直接神经保护:
可能具有抗Aβ聚集作用[404]
临床数据:
Phase 3试验(中国,NCT02293915): 818名轻至中度AD患者,36周[405][406]:主要终点:
ADAS-Cog12评分改善2.54分 vs 安慰剂(p<0.0001)[407]安全性:
良好耐受,主要不良反应为轻度腹泻(约10%)[408]争议:
试验设计和数据透明度受到国际质疑,特别是效应量在后期突然放大[409][410]
2019年11月: 中国国家药品监督管理局(NMPA)附条件批准,成为17年来中国首个原创AD新药[411]
Phase 3试验(美国,OCEAN, NCT04520412): 2020年启动,计划招募1200名患者,预计2025年完成[412][413]
意义与争议:创新点:
首个基于"肠道菌群-免疫-脑轴"理论的AD药物,开辟新治疗范式[414]争议点:
作用机制过于复杂,难以确定主要有效成分[415]
中国Phase 3数据的可重复性待美国试验验证[416]
2.54分ADAS-Cog改善的临床意义与胆碱酯酶抑制剂相当,是否具有显著优势?[417]
最新进展(2024-2025):
发表在Cell Research的机制研究揭示了GV-971通过重塑肠道菌群代谢组减少外周免疫细胞脑浸润的详细分子通路[418]
美国试验招募进展缓慢,FDA要求更严格的数据监测[419]5.2.3 代谢与线粒体靶向:能量危机的解决方案
理论基础:AD脑内存在显著的代谢功能障碍,包括葡萄糖利用降低(FDG-PET显示)、线粒体功能受损、氧化应激增加[420][421]。这些改变可能早于Aβ沉积和tau病理,提示代谢干预可能是早期预防的关键[422]。
Xanamem (UE2343) - 皮质醇调节:靶点:
11β-HSD1(11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1),该酶在脑内将无活性的可的松转化为活性皮质醇[423]AD中的作用:
慢性应激和衰老导致脑内皮质醇水平升高,损伤海马神经元、诱导胰岛素抵抗、加重Aβ和tau病理[424][425]作用机制:
Xanamem选择性抑制11β-HSD1,降低脑内皮质醇,改善糖代谢和神经元健康[426]
临床数据:Phase 2研究(XanaMIA, NCT03450005):
174名轻度AD患者,12周[427]:认知改善:
NeuroCart认知测试组合显示注意力和执行功能改善[428]脑代谢:
FDG-PET显示海马和颞叶葡萄糖利用增加约8-10%[429]生物标志物:
血浆Aβ42/40比值改善趋势[430]Phase 2b研究(XanADu, NCT04750954):
正在进行,评估26周治疗对认知和功能的影响[431]
意义: Xanamem代表了"代谢修复"策略,可能与Aβ/tau靶向疗法协同使用[432]。
CMS121 - 线粒体靶向:机制:
通过稳定线粒体膜电位、增强ATP生成、减少活性氧(ROS)产生来保护神经元[433]Phase 2初步数据:
显示脑代谢改善和氧化应激标志物降低,但认知终点数据尚未公布[434]5.2.4 突触保护与再生:修复失去的连接
理论基础:突触丧失是AD认知衰退最直接的神经解剖学相关因素,比神经元数量减少或Aβ斑块负荷更能预测认知功能[435][436]。突触数量在MCI阶段即已减少20-30%,提示突触保护/再生可能是逆转认知衰退的关键[437]。
Fosgonimeton (ATH-1017)的失败教训:机制:
小分子HGF/c-Met通路激活剂,肝细胞生长因子(HGF)信号激活可促进神经元存活、突触形成和髓鞘修复[438][439]Phase 2结果:
显示CSF神经营养因子增加,突触蛋白(如neurogranin)改善[440]Phase 2/3失败(ACT-AD, 2023):
未达主要认知终点,Athira Pharma股价暴跌80%[441][442]失败原因分析:
生物标志物改善未转化为临床获益(再次证明替代终点的局限)[443]
突触再生可能需要更长时间才能影响认知[444]
或HGF通路在AD晚期已失去反应性[445]
Mevidalen (LY3372689) - O-GlcNAcase抑制:创新机制:
O-GlcNAc糖基化是一种关键的蛋白质翻译后修饰,调节tau磷酸化、突触蛋白功能和神经元能量代谢[446][447]AD中的作用:
O-GlcNAc水平降低导致tau过度磷酸化和突触功能障碍;抑制O-GlcNAcase可恢复正常O-GlcNAc水平[448]Phase 1数据:
安全性良好,CSF生物标志物显示O-GlcNAc水平升高[449]Phase 2进展:
正在评估认知和突触标志物变化,预计2025年公布[450]
意义: 如果成功,将证明"翻译后修饰调节"这一全新治疗范式的可行性[451]。5.2.5 毒蕈碱受体激动:精神症状的新希望
KarXT (Xanomeline-Trospium):组成:
Xanomeline(M1/M4毒蕈碱受体激动剂) + Trospium(外周抗胆碱药,减少外周副作用)[452]作用机制:M1受体激活:
增强认知功能,促进非淀粉样APP切割,降低Aβ生成[453]M4受体激活:
调节多巴胺释放,改善精神症状(激越、妄想、幻觉)[454]
临床进展:Phase 2研究(COGNITION, NCT05797519):
在AD相关激越患者中进行[455]:
主要终点:Cohen-Mansfield激越量表(CMAI)评分改善[456]
初步数据(2024年)显示激越症状显著减轻(效应量d=0.6-0.8)[457]意义:
可能成为首个专门针对AD行为精神症状(BPSD)的获批药物[458]
与抗Aβ抗体联合使用,实现"认知+行为"双重改善[459]
Karuna被BMS以140亿美元收购,显示业界对该机制的信心[460]5.3 联合疗法:未来的必然趋势
理论基础:AD是多因素疾病,单一靶点干预的天花板效应已显现。类似肿瘤学和HIV治疗,联合疗法可能是实现疾病修饰的唯一路径[461][462]。
当前探索的联合策略:
表8. 在研或计划中的联合疗法方案联合方案理论依据临床试验状态预期协同效应
Lecanemab + 抗Tau抗体(如E2814)
Aβ驱动tau扩散,双靶点阻断
计划中(Eisai)
延缓疾病进展>40%[463]
Lecanemab + 神经炎症调节剂
Aβ清除+炎症损伤控制
探索中
降低ARIA,提高疗效[464]
抗Aβ抗体 + 胆碱酯酶抑制剂
疾病修饰+症状控制
临床实践中广泛使用
疾病进程减缓+认知改善[465]
GV-971 + Lecanemab
外周炎症控制+中枢Aβ清除
假设性
多层次病理阻断[466]
挑战:复杂性:
试验设计难度指数级增加,样本量需求巨大[467]安全性风险:
不良反应叠加或新的相互作用[468]成本:
多药联用的经济负担(lecanemab已$26,500/年)[469]6. 总结与未来展望6.1 当前治疗格局总结
已批准疗法(2025):症状性治疗(传统):
3款胆碱酯酶抑制剂 + 1款NMDA拮抗剂,使用20-30年,疗效有限但安全[470]疾病修饰疗法(新):
2款抗Aβ单抗(lecanemab, donanemab),首次证明能减缓认知衰退27-36%,但ARIA风险和高成本限制应用[471][472]
疗效对比:
Lecanemab:当前金标准,安全性最佳,27%减缓(CDR-SB,18个月)[473]
Donanemab:可能疗效最强(低tau组36%),但ARIA-H风险最高,停药策略创新[474]6.2 未来5年的关键问题
抗Aβ抗体的长期疗效:
18个月疗效能否持续至3-5年?[475]
停药后疾病是否反弹?[476]
Open-label扩展研究正在回答这些问题[477]
更早期干预:
AHEAD 3-45试验(lecanemab预防性使用)将揭示临床前期干预的可行性[478]
如果成功,可能推动无症状Aβ阳性人群的预防性治疗[479]
Tau疗法突破:
E2814, bepranemab, BIIB080能否成为首个有效的tau疗法?[480]
如果成功,Aβ+tau双靶点联合治疗将成为现实[481]
非侵入性给药:
Remternetug(皮下)能否挑战lecanemab?[482]
口服抗Aβ小分子(如ALZ-801)能否证明可行?[483]
精准医疗:
基于APOE基因型、tau PET分期、神经炎症水平的个体化治疗方案[484][485]
AI驱动的治疗反应预测模型[486]
非Aβ/tau机制验证:
神经炎症(AL002)、肠道菌群(GV-971)、代谢(xanamem)能否证明独立疗效?[487]
这些机制是否需要与Aβ清除联合才能发挥作用?[488]6.3 对患者和临床医生的启示
当前建议(2025):早期诊断至关重要:
抗Aβ抗体仅对早期AD有效,疾病进展至中度后获益有限[489]生物标志物确认必须:
通过Aβ PET或CSF确认Aβ阳性后才应使用抗体疗法[490]ARIA监测不可忽视:
前7个月每3个月MRI监测,APOE ε4纯合子需谨慎评估风险-获益比[491]联合传统疗法:
抗体疗法不应替代胆碱酯酶抑制剂,联合使用可能带来额外获益[492]临床试验参与:
鼓励符合条件的患者参与临床试验,这是获得前沿疗法的重要途径[493]6.4 结语
从1993年tacrine的首次批准到2024年donanemab的完全批准,AD药物治疗走过了艰难的30年。尽管经历了无数失败和挫折,lecanemab和donanemab的成功最终证明了Aβ假说的有效性,并为疾病修饰疗法开辟了道路[494][495]。
然而,27-36%的疾病减缓仅是开始,而非终点。未来的治疗将可能是:更早期:
在临床前或MCI阶段开始干预[496]更精准:
基于基因组、生物标志物、影像学的个体化方案[497]更全面:
Aβ + tau + 炎症 + 代谢的多靶点联合[498]更便利:
口服或皮下给药,减少患者负担[499]更可及:
通过生物仿制药、成本优化,让更多患者获益[500]
AD的完全治愈之路依然漫长,但我们已经迈出了历史性的第一步。科学界、制药工业、监管机构和患者群体的共同努力,将继续推动这一领域向前发展[501][502]。文档完成声明

Sept. 15, 2025 -- Actinogen Medical Limited (ASX: ACW) announces the successful conduct of its scheduled Type C meeting (written response) on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
Actinogen and the FDA reached a common understanding of the pathway to marketing approval in AD - meaning agreement on regulatory starting materials in drug substance synthesis, the design of one additional pivotal clinical trial and the limited number of ancillary clinical pharmacology trials and nonclinical studies required. Key understandings include the:
Regulatory starting materials‘ for the commercial manufacturing of Xanamem® (emestedastat) drug substance
General design of the interim analysis for XanaMIA
Design of one additional, well-controlled, pivotal (phase 3) trial to support a positive XanaMIA pivotal trial
Single emestedastat dose design (10 mg vs placebo) for the planned pivotal Phase 3 trial
Number of people to be treated with Xanamem to be described in the New Drug Application (NDA) – that is, the makeup of the planned safety database consistent with FDA guidelines
Small number of ancillary clinical pharmacology trials to be conducted
Nonclinical studies required to further characterize the metabolism and excretion pathways of Xanamem.
The outcome reached at this meeting with the FDA’s Neurology-I Division represents a major milestone for Actinogen as the Company prepares for the earliest possible NDA submission in the US and submissions to other global regulators. It provides important clarity for ongoing discussions with potential development and marketing partners.
A similar meeting for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) will be held with European Medicines Agency in 2026 and subsequently with the UK MHRA1 and other regulators. Actinogen’s FDA agreement is consistent with the desire of regulators worldwide to find safer and more effective therapies for AD, given the limited effectiveness of currently available treatments.
The Company can now confidently move forward following agreement from the FDA on the planned program.
Dr Steven Gourlay, the Company’s CEO and MD, commented:
“We are pleased with the clear guidance from the FDA that confirms our plans for streamlined development of Xanamem in Alzheimer’s disease. Importantly, the Agency agreed with our approach for only one additional, pivotal trial using a single 10 mg Xanamem dose design vs. placebo to support a marketing application for Alzheimer’s in the US.”

1 The UK MHRA is the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
Actinogen Medical (ACW) is an ASX-listed, biotechnology company in the late clinical stages of development for Xanamem® (emestedastat), its novel oral therapy for Alzheimer’s disease and depression. The Company is based in Sydney, Australia with operations and clinical trials in Australia and the US. Xanamem, has been studied in eight clinical trials with more than 400 people treated to date and has a promising safety and efficacy profile. ACW’s ongoing clinical trial, XanaMIA, is a phase 2b/3 trial of 220 participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is currently enrolling in Australia and the US.
Xanamem’s novel mechanism of action is to control the level of cortisol in the important areas of the brain through the inhibition of the cortisol synthesis enzyme, 11β-HSD1, without blocking normal production of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Xanamem is a first-in-class, once-a-day pill designed to deliver high levels of brain cortisol control in regions where 11β-HSD1 is highly expressed such as the hippocampus. Chronically elevated cortisol is associated with progression in Alzheimer’s Disease and excess cortisol is known to be toxic to brain cells. Elevated cortisol is also associated with depressive symptoms. Xanamem has demonstrated excellent brain target engagement and in human trials has shown potential to slow progression of Alzheimer’s disease and improve depressive symptoms in patients with moderately severe depression.
Xanamem is an investigational product and is not approved for use outside of a clinical trial by the FDA or by any global regulatory authority. Xanamem® is a trademark of Actinogen Medical.

Late-stage Alzheimer's trial opens 10 new sites in USA, with results due in 2025 and 2026
SYDNEY, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --
Actinogen Medical Limited (ASX: ACW) announces that the World Health Organization (WHO) has granted the nonproprietary name of 'emestedastat' to Actinogen for its Xanamem®/UE2343 once-a-day small molecule in accordance with the WHO's Procedure for the Selection of Recommended International Nonproprietary Names (INN) for Pharmaceutical Substances.
An INN is a unique, globally recognized name for a pharmaceutical drug or active ingredient. Each active substance that is to be marketed as a pharmaceutical must be granted a unique name of worldwide acceptability to ensure the clear identification, safe prescription and dispensing of medicines to patients. Nonproprietary names are intended for wide use ranging from labelling and product information to drug regulation and scientific literature.
The declaration of the new and unique suffix '-stedastat' identifies a new class of drugs that are 11β-HSD1 enzyme inhibitors. Xanamem's mechanism of action is to target and block the 11β-HSD1 enzyme in the brain and thus control levels of cortisol (also known as the 'stress hormone'). This means that Xanamem is a unique orally administered molecule in its own class as a 'tissue cortisol synthesis inhibitor' and it is the first drug to be named by the WHO in that class.
Dr Steven Gourlay, Actinogen's CEO and Managing Director, said:
"It is pleasing to have emestedastat (Xanamem or UE2343) recognized as first-in-class with the award of an INN name with a new and unique suffix. The suffix used in the name highlights Actinogen's leading position in the field of 11β-HSD1 enzyme inhibition which is designed to control brain cortisol and result in clinically meaningful benefits for patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and major depressive disorder (MDD)."
"Based on the clinical benefits seen in phase 2 trials with the 10mg daily dose of emestedastat in both AD and MDD, we have a high level of confidence in the likely positive outcomes of current and future trials in these and other diseases."
XanaMIA Alzheimer's disease phase 2b/3 trial sites enrolling in the USA and Australia
The XanaMIA phase 2b/3 clinical trial in patients with biomarker-positive mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) is picking up pace as clinical sites ramp up activity with all 25 sites now actively pre-screening potential trial participants. More than 300 people have been pre-screened with a blood pTau test and approximately 40 have entered the 36-week treatment phase of the trial. Final results are expected in the second half of 2026 with interim results[1] anticipated in Q4 this year.
The XanaMIA AD trial is enrolling 220 participants with mild to moderate AD and elevated levels of the blood biomarker pTau181, designed to identify participants with biomarker-positive AD whose disease is likely to progress during the 36-week treatment period. This design augments the ability to detect a Xanamem 10 mg daily treatment benefit vs. placebo over the observation period, as suggested by the analysis of pTau-positive patients in a previous phase 2a trial over 12 weeks (Taylor et. al. 2024). The primary endpoint of the trial is the Clinical Dementia Rating – Sum of Boxes scale, universally included in contemporary AD trials. Other measures include the effects of Xanamem on clinical endpoints of cognition and functional ability.
Patients or families interested in participating in the XanaMIA phase 2b/3 AD trial in the USA or Australia can seek further information and check for eligibility to join the trial by visiting the company's website.
Preparing for commercialization
Actinogen is actively engaging in an important range of initiatives to prepare for the approaching commercialization phase for Xanamem.
In October last year, the Company appointed Andrew Udell as Chief Commercial Officer, based in the US.
It is also preparing for regulatory meetings with the FDA for AD and MDD to better define marketing approval criteria, and maintaining discussions with potential co-development partners.
Progress towards commercial readiness continues in other areas including the scaling up of drug substance manufacturing, publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts describing clinical trial results, and the planning and conduct of ancillary nonclinical and clinical studies appropriate to Xanamem's late-stage of clinical development.
The Company continues to add new patents to its patent portfolio to potentially extend commercial protection into the 2040s, while remaining confident in the additional protection afforded for Xanamem as a new chemical entity from data exclusivity laws. These laws are designed to encourage developers to bring novel therapies to market. They prevent generic manufacturers from using Actinogen's clinical or nonclinical date for circa 5 to 10 years (depending on jurisdiction) from the date of marketing approval, effectively blocking generic competition for that period.
About Actinogen Medical
Actinogen Medical (ACW) is an ASX-listed, biotechnology company developing a novel therapy for neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases associated with dysregulated brain cortisol. There is a strong association between cortisol and detrimental changes in the brain, affecting cognitive function, harm to brain cells and long-term cognitive health.
Cognitive function means how a person understands, remembers and thinks clearly. Cognitive functions include memory, attention, reasoning, awareness and decision-making.
Actinogen is currently developing its lead compound, Xanamem, as a promising new therapy for Alzheimer's Disease and Depression and hopes to study Fragile X Syndrome and other neurological and psychiatric diseases in the future. Reducing cortisol inside brain cells could have a positive impact in these and many other diseases. The cognitive dysfunction, behavioural abnormalities, and neuropsychological burden associated with these conditions is debilitating for patients, and there is a substantial unmet medical need for new and improved treatments.
Clinical Trials
The
XanaMIA Phase 2b/3 Alzheimer's disease trial is a double-blind, 36-week treatment, placebo-controlled, parallel group design trial in 220 patients with mild to moderate AD and progressive disease, determined by clinical criteria and confirmed by an elevated level of the pTau181 protein biomarker in blood. Patients receive Xanamem 10 mg or placebo, once daily, and its ability to slow progression of Alzheimer's disease is assessed with a variety of endpoints. The primary endpoint of the trial is the internationally-recognized CDR-SB (Clinical Dementia Rating scale – Sum of Boxes). The trial is being conducted in Australia and the US. Initial results from an interim analysis of the first 100 participants are anticipated in Q4 2025 and final results H2 2026.
The
XanaCIDD Phase 2a depression trial was a double-blind, six-week proof-of-concept, placebo-controlled, parallel group design trial in 167 patients with moderate, treatment-resistant depression and a degree of baseline cognitive impairment. Participants were evenly randomized to receive Xanamem 10 mg once daily or placebo, in most cases in addition to their existing antidepressant therapy, and effects on cognition and depression were assessed. Trial results were reported in August 2024 and showed clinically and statistically significant benefits on depression symptoms with positive effects on the MADRS scale (a validated scale of depression symptom measurement) and the PGI-S (a valid patient reported assessment of depression severity).
About Xanamem (emestedastat)
Xanamem's novel mechanism of action is to control the level of cortisol in the brain through the inhibition of the cortisol synthesis enzyme, 11β-HSD1, without affecting production of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Xanamem is a first-in-class, once-a-day pill designed to deliver high levels of cortisol control in the brain.
Chronically elevated cortisol is associated with progression in Alzheimer's Disease and excess cortisol is known to be toxic to brain cells. Cortisol itself is also associated with depressive symptoms and when targeted via other mechanisms has shown some promise in prior clinical trials. The recent XanaCIDD trial demonstrated clinically and sometimes statistically significant benefits on depressive symptoms.
The Company has studied 11β-HSD1 inhibition by Xanamem in approximately 400 volunteers and patients in eight clinical trials. Xanamem has a promising safety profile and has demonstrated clinical activity in patients with depression, patients with biomarker-positive Alzheimer's disease and cognitively normal volunteers. High levels of target engagement in the brain with doses as low as 5 mg daily have been demonstrated in a human PET imaging study.
Xanamem is an investigational product and is not approved for use outside of a clinical trial by the FDA or by any global regulatory authority. Xanamem® is a trademark of Actinogen Medical.
