$ILNS has 2 pre-clinical programs!!!
Intellect Neurosciences has two preclinical programs it is developing internally.
One program under the RECALL-VAX platform has yielded two AD vaccine drug candidates, RV01 and RV02. RECALL-VAX™ has the potential to delay or prevent the development of Alzheimer’s in those who are at risk by stimulating patients’ immune systems to produce antibodies that clear amyloid betas and prevent further accumulation and deposition. Many view a vaccine of this nature, which is analogous to a flu shot, as the ultimate quest in Alzheimer’s research.
Additionally, CONJUMAB-A is Intellect's newly introduced platform technology for a novel class of therapeutics for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other proteinopathies based on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The new ADC- based technology has the potential to improve on current methods of passive immunotherapy by increasing clearance of amyloid proteins while delivering potent cytoprotective molecules to sites of damage in the brain and other organs. CONJUMAB-A is designed to reduce inflammation caused by amyloidosis while avoiding vasogenic edema, a side effect of plaque dissolution that occurs in some patients. The company’s lead CONJUMAB-A candidate is IN-N01-OX2, a non-activating, stabilized IgG4 humanized antibody specific for beta amyloid protein conjugated to melatonin, which is a naturally occurring molecule with potent anti-oxidant and anti-fibrillogenic properties.
The Company has applied for a patent for its CONJUMAB-A technology. Intellect has the exclusively license to certain patents granted by the USPTO to NYU School of Medicine and the University of South Alabama Research Foundation specifically covering the use of melatonin for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of amyloidosis. The CONJUMAB-A platform is applicable to a broad range of diseases including, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Cerebral Angiopathy, Frontotemporal Dementia, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Pick’s disease, Cortical Basal Degeneration and Peripheral Amyloidosis.
