AC Immune (NASDAQ: ACIU) has reported positive interim results from its Phase 2 VacSYn clinical trial of ACI-7104.056, an active immunotherapy for early Parkinson's disease. The treatment has demonstrated significant efficacy, producing anti-α-synuclein antibody levels over 20-fold higher than placebo after 4 immunizations.
The trial's Part 1 involves over 30 patients randomized at a 3:1 ratio (treatment:placebo). Key findings show that antibody responses were effectively induced at week 6 after 2 immunizations and were further enhanced with additional doses. The treatment has shown a favorable safety profile with no serious adverse events reported, with only mild side effects including injection site reactions and headaches.
Based on upcoming interim results in 2025, including pharmacodynamic and biomarker data, the company may proceed with Part 2 of the trial, expanding to up to 150 patients. This phase will evaluate disease progression through motor and non-motor symptoms, along with digital, imaging, and fluid biomarkers.
