Prof. Andrea Pfeifer, CEO of AC Immune SA, commented: "With the recent positive data for an anti-Abeta antibody, lecanemab, further supporting the amyloid hypothesis in Alzheimer's disease (AD), we are advancing towards year-end with strong momentum and renewed enthusiasm for the amazing potential of our development programs. The recent data also highlight the importance of intervening early in AD, further underlining the fundamental need for precision medicine in neurodegenerative diseases. This bodes well for our wholly owned vaccine ACI-24.060, which targets the two most toxic forms of Abeta, soluble toxic Abeta oligomers and pyroglu-Abeta. Because ACI-24.060 is a vaccine, it also has the potential to offer safety, efficacy, and logistical advantages compared to monoclonal antibodies.
