(MENAFN- PRLog) First Choice Neurology is seeking patients for BAN2401 phase 3 dementia clinical trial. neurology-miami MIAMI - March 21, 2019 - PRLog -- Dr. Victor Faradji, Neurologist at First Choice Neurology in Miami, Florida is enthusiastic about the results of the BAN2401 phase 2 clinical trial for dementia. The study assessed changes from baseline to 18 months in biomarkers measuring the underlying disease pathophysiology, including changes in amyloid accumulated in the brain as measured by amyloid PET. The clinical endpoints of Alzheimer's Disease Composite Score, Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale and Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes were also assessed from baseline to 18 months of treatment. In amyloid PET image visual read, BAN2401 demonstrated a dose-dependent conversion from amyloid positive to negative, and at the highest dose, 81% of patients converted from amyloid positive to negative at 18 months.
BAN2401 is a humanized monoclonal antibody for Alzheimer's disease that targets the protofibrils of beta-amyloid before they aggregate into amyloid plaques. BAN2401 may have the potential to have an effect on disease pathology and to slow down the progression of the disease.
Eisai and Biogen are offering patients to participate in the phase 3 study starting in April 2019. Dr. Victor Faradji of First Choice Neurology is one of the Principal Investigators of the BAN2401 clinical trial.
