Boca Raton, Florida, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INmune Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage inflammation and immunology company focused on developing treatments that harness the patient's innate immune system to fight disease announced today that it completed randomization of patients for its Phase 2 trial on Monday, November 11th. This global, blinded, randomized Phase 2 trial (the "AD02 trial") is focused on patients with Early AD and biomarkers of elevated neuroinflammation.
"We are excited to have completed administering first doses to all patients enrolled in our phase 2 Alzheimer's trial," stated RJ Tesi PhD, the CEO of INmune Bio. "A global trial of this size is a major accomplishment for INmune and is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. The trial ended up overenrolled with a total of 208 patients, 56% of whom were categorized as mild AD and 44% as MCI. We look forward to releasing top line cognitive results in the second quarter of 2025."
AD02 is a global, blinded, randomized Phase II trial in patients with Early AD using XPro. The trial uses enrichment criteria to focus the trial on patients with neuroinflammation as a cause of their cognitive decline. XPro targets glial cells that drive neuroinflammation in the brain to allow decreased neurodegeneration and demyelination with improved synaptic function and remyelination. The primary end-point of AD02 is change from baseline cognitive function after 24 weeks of therapy, measured using EMACC and CDR-SB.
About Neuroinflammation in AD
Neuroinflammation is chronic inflammation in the brain that is part of the natural aging process called inflammaging. Neuroinflammation is increased due to behavioral and genetic factors. Neuroinflammation has been increasingly recognized as a key contributor to the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's. Neuroinflammation is a key cause of nerve cell death and synaptic dysfunction that causes cognitive decline. Blocking neuroinflammation with XPro decreases neurodegeneration and improves synaptic function and promotes remyelination. There are many publications on the role of neuroinflammation in AD. A recent review can be found here.
