- AC Immune reported Phase 1 data for the PET tracer ACI-19626, including in vivo brain images of TDP-43 pathology, which were presented at AD/PD 2026.
- PET scans showed significantly higher ACI-19626 tracer uptake in key brain regions in patients with genetically defined frontotemporal dementia due to C9orf72 mutation than in healthy subjects.
- The company said ACI-19626 demonstrated good safety and tolerability, along with rapid brain uptake and washout consistent with a pharmacokinetic profile for human brain imaging.
- The first-in-human Phase 1 trial (NCT06891716) is being conducted in two parts, with Part 1 in healthy volunteers and genetic FTD expected to be completed in H1 2026.
- Part 2 expansion may include up to 30 patients with FTD, ALS, or LATE, and exploration in additional patient populations including ALS is ongoing.
