ADUCANUMAB
Aducanumab (BIIB037) is being developed for the treatment of early
Alzheimer’s disease. Aducanumab is a human recombinant monoclonal
antibody (mAb) derived from a de-identified library of B cells collected
from healthy elderly using Neurimmune’s technology platform called
Reverse Translational Medicine (RTM). Biogen licensed Aducanumab
from Neurimmune under a collaborative development and license
agreement.

Introduction
5. 5 | P a g e
Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking
skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with the disease those with
the late-onset type symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Early-onset Alzheimer’s occurs between a
person’s 30s and mid-60s and is very rare. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause
of dementia among older adults. Symptoms of Alzheimer's, including early-onset Alzheimer's, include
problems with memory, judgment, and thinking. Memory loss and dementia will progress as the stages of
Alzheimer's advance. Symptoms can be treated with medication, but there is no cure.
The likelihood of having Alzheimer's disease increases substantially after the age of 70 and may affect
around 50% of persons over the age of 85. Symptoms may be present in varying degrees of severity. The
treatment and management of Alzheimer's disease consists of medications and non-medication based
treatments.

Alzheimer’s disease Overview
7. 7 | P a g e
Aducanumab (BIIB037) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s
disease. It is a high-affinity, fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody against a conformational epitope found
on A . BIIB037 binds aggregated forms of A , not monomer. In the brain, BIIB037 preferentially binds
parenchymal over vascular amyloid. It was originally derived by the biotech company Neurimmune in
Schlieren, Switzerland, from healthy, aged donors who were cognitively normal but later licensed to Biogen.
Aducanumab is currently being evaluated in two global Phase III studies, ENGAGE and EMERGE, which
are designed to evaluate its safety and efficacy in slowing cognitive impairment and the progression of
disability in people with early Alzheimer’s disease.
In October 2017, Eisai and Biogen announced that the companies have expanded their existing agreement to
jointly develop and commercialize investigational Alzheimer’s disease treatments. Under the terms of the
agreement Eisai has exercised its option to co-develop and co-promote Aducanumab, Biogen’s
investigational anti-amyloid beta (A ) antibody for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
In August 2016, Aducanumab was accepted into the European Medicines Agency’s PRIME program.
In September 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration accepted Aducanumab into its Fast Track
program and in April 2017 Aducanumab was accepted into the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and
Welfare’s (MHLW) Sakigake Designation System.
In May 2015, development began in Japan with a Phase I study of increasing doses up to 6 mg/kg in 25
patients with mild to moderate AD.
In December 2014, Biogen announced it would move into Phase III based on interim data suggesting target
engagement and a cognitive benefit.

Aducanumab - Overview
8. 8 | P a g e
In Pre-clinical studies, transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease were studied. Aducanumab was
shown to enter the brain, bind parenchymal A , and reduce soluble and insoluble A in a dose-
dependent manner. In patients with prodromal or mild AD, one year of monthly intravenous infusions
of aducanumab reduces brain A in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This was accompanied by a
slowing of clinical decline measured by Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes and Mini Mental State
Examination scores. Thirteen-week chronic dosing in old APP-transgenic mice reduced plaques of all
sizes; vascular amyloid stayed unchanged. Brain-exposure studies in mice suggest that
microhemorrhages start at 500 mg/kg, more than 100 times the minimally effective dose for plaque
clearance, 3 mg/kg. The main safety and tolerability findings were amyloid related imaging
abnormalities. These results justify further development of Aducanumab for the treatment of
Alzheimer’s disease.

Lanabecestat (AZD3293) is an orally administered drug in development by AstraZeneca along with Eli Lilly.
It is an inhibitor of BACE1, the -secretase sheddase that cleaves the APP protein to release APP's C99
fragment. This fragment then becomes a substrate for subsequent -secretase cleavage and A peptide
generation. The rationale of BACE inhibition is that it represents an upstream interference with the amyloid
cascade, regardless of which species or aggregation states of A then exert toxicity in the brain. The drug is
currently in Phase III stage of development for Alzheimer's Disease.
