Alzinova AB, a Swedish biopharma company developing disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer’s, announces that the manufacturing process for its oligomer-specific vaccine, ALZ-101, has been further improved to facilitate large-scale production.
STOCKHOLM, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alzinova AB (publ) (FN STO: ALZ), a Swedish biopharma company developing disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer’s, today announces that the manufacturing process for its oligomer-specific vaccine, ALZ-101, has been further improved to facilitate large-scale production.
Alzinova’s drug substance manufacturing partner, Bachem (Bubendorf, Switzerland), has optimised the manufacturing process of the active ingredient in ALZ-101 – a vaccine in clinical development for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Process optimisations have resulted in a more efficient and scalable manufacturing process enabling supply of ALZ-101 in the amounts required for phase 2 clinical trials. Furthermore, a more robust manufacturing process was obtained, which is beneficial for future reliable, cost-effective and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) compliant manufacturing.
“We are very pleased to have reached this important milestone, which is part of making the therapeutic vaccine, ALZ-101, phase 2-ready and more attractive to potential partners,” says Kristina Torfgård, CEO of Alzinova AB.
In the third quarter of 2021, Alzinova initiated a phase 1b clinical study with ALZ-101, in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The vaccine is developed to specifically target the neurotoxic soluble forms of amyloid-beta42, i.e. oligomers. Oligomers are considered to be a key factor in the development of Alzheimer´s disease. Top line data for the study is anticipated in the second half of 2023.
