Prasinezumab could be the first disease-modifying treatment for a condition that affects 10 million people worldwide. Later this month we plan to share initial data from the Phase 1 ASCENT clinical trials of our wholly-owned PRX012 program in Alzheimer’s disease,” said Gene Kinney, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, Prothena (PRTA). “We are also looking forward to data from Novo Nordisk’s Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating coramitug for ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy expected in the second half of 2025. Bristol Myers Squibb is conducting a Phase 2 TargetTau-1 clinical trial evaluating BMS-986446 in Alzheimer’s disease with completion expected in 2027 and a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating BMS-986446 in a potential subcutaneous formulation with completion expected in the second half of 2025. In addition, we are conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial for PRX019 in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb with expected completion in 2026. Finally, there is a potential for us to earn up to $105 million in aggregate clinical milestone payments if Novo Nordisk advances coramitug and Bristol Myers Squibb decides to advance PRX019.”
