• Phase 1 studies show improvement in cognitive factors, consistent with therapeutic potential of CY6463 to improve key features in neurological diseases
• CY6463 favorable tolerability and safety profile was confirmed

Cambridge, MA, USA and Paris, France, November 30^th, 2022 – Elara Pharmaceuticals Ltd, a leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) drug development company, in collaboration with Cyclerion Therapeutics, presented today safety and pharmacodynamic results from a post hoc analysis of CY6463 first-in-human studies at the 2022 Clinical Trials On Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) international conference held in San Francisco, USA.

Cyclerion Therapeutics’ CY6463 is a first-in-class, CNS-penetrant, soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator that modulates a key node in a fundamental signaling pathway. CY6463 has been evaluated in two Phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers as well as signal-seeking patient studies in the rare mitochondrial disease, MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes) and in CIAS (cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia); a study in AD (Alzheimer’s disease) is ongoing. Cyclerion is advancing CY6463  for the treatment of rare mitochondrial diseases.

A total of 134 healthy participants were enrolled across two randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 1 studies in which single-ascending doses, multiple-ascending doses, food effect (crossover design) and the pharmacology of CY6463 (crossover design) were evaluated. In each study, safety, pharmacokinetic, and endpoints assessments were collected at baseline and at the end of dosing. Previously reported favorable safety profile of CY6463 was confirmed, with no major adverse events.

Age, certain neurophysiological measures, and high systolic blood pressure at baseline were identified with an increased response for the endpoints.

A systematic analysis of both trials using Tersan’s KEM® (Knowledge Extraction & Management) eXplainable AI platform revealed the impact of higher dose of CY6463 on 5 endpoints related to spatial learning (Milner Maze Test speed and accuracy,  p=0.004 and p=0.045), brain activity (electroencephalography: increased alpha power, eyes closed, p = 0.003), inflammation (Matrix Metalloproteinase 3, p = 0.008) and target engagement (cyclic guanosine monophosphate, p=0.019), thus demonstrating the potential of CY6463 for the treatment of multiple neurological diseases.

Tersan’s KEM® also generated new hypotheses of patient-selection biomarkers that were linked with improved response; notably, age greater than 49 years old was linked with greater improvement in Milner Maze Test (speed p=0.095, accuracy p=0.047) and increase in effect size (Cohen’s d) by 41% and 118% respectively, while baseline systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 121 mmHg was linked with greater improvement in Milner Maze Test (speed p=0.055, accuracy p=0.052) and increase in effect size by 86% and 157% respectively.

This analysis of Phase 1 data in healthy participants demonstrates the ability of eXplainable AI tools, such as KEM®, to integrate and analyze broad and heterogeneous sources of data from different trials, to provide insight into a drug’s mechanism of action, to generate testable hypotheses, and to guide the optimal design of the next steps in clinical development.

“We are very pleased to report initial results from our collaboration with the Cyclerion team that illustrate the power of integrating our xAI driven approach very early in clinical development. Our first evidence of clinical improvement of endpoints relevant in multiple diseases as well as the systematic identification of candidate patient selection criteria will help the design of next-phase studies with higher probability of success” commented Mohammad Afshar, Elara Pharmaceuticals Ltd CEO.

Blarcamesine significantly restores functionality in key molecular pathways including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, KEM® xAI analysis shows.

Cambridge, MA, USA and Paris, France, October 4^th, 2022 – Elara Pharmaceuticals Ltd, the leading Al-driven precision medicine company, has announced the first comprehensive blarcamesine pathway analysis impact using extensive data from the ANAVEX®2-73-PDD-001 Parkinson’s Disease Dementia (PDD) clinical study.

Initial results were presented by Elara Pharmaceuticals Ltd at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC 2022) in San Diego, in collaboration with Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: AVXL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing differentiated therapeutics for the treatment of CNS diseases.

Building on extensive multi-omic analysis using Tersan’s KEM® (Knowledge Extraction and Management) AI platform, the findings further establish blarcamesine as a potent modulator of key pathways in multiple neuro-degenerative diseases and provide additional insight into its molecular mechanism of action. Blarcamesine (ANAVEX®2-73) is a novel oral selective sigma-1 receptor (SIGMAR1) agonist. It was previously investigated in a clinical Phase 2a study in Alzheimer’s disease in which blarcamesine resulted in a lower rate of both cognitive and functional decline.

 

Following the positive results of this study, a translational approach led to investigating blarcamesine in an international, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical study of 14-week duration in 132 patients with Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD). The analysis shows that blarcamesine significantly restores functionality in key pathways including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease. Expression levels of pathological down-regulated neurodegenerative genes of both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s were significantly reactivated by the therapeutic effect of ANAVEX®2-73 (p<0.005). Neurodegenerative pathways were identified as significantly overrepresented. Importantly, Down-regulation of genes involved with neurodegeneration was observed in the placebo arm, however, was compensated in the blarcamesine arm.

 

Whole blood transcriptomics analysis (RNAseq, 14,150 genes) was performed at baseline and end of study (Week 14). The KEM® platform was used to identify clusters of genes that show a correlated expression change across patients and timepoints. In addition, Elara Pharmaceuticals Ltd identified a novel gene network that is differentially expressed in Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) patients treated with ANAVEX®2-73 compared to placebo after 14 weeks of treatment.

Elara Pharmaceuticals Ltd’s CEO Mohammad Afshar comments: “This first AI-driven pathway analysis in Parkinson’s disease dementia allows us to understand the intersection between a specific drug and patient biology. It further illustrates the power of KEM® Explainable AI to accelerate and increase the probability of success of precision medicine translational drug development through the better understanding of gene pathways in specific indications.”

The identification of a gene network as the blarcamesine response pathway lays the foundation to better understand the mechanism of action at the molecular level of blarcamesine. It is thus unlocking characterization of responders based on molecular profiling, as well as identification of new indications in neurodegenerative and other disorders.

Anavex Life Sciences and Elara Pharmaceuticals Ltd present positive phase II clinical and biomarker data at the AD/PD 2022 International Conference

Pushing the promise of AI designed Precision Medicine Parkinson’s Disease Dementia (PDD) therapy closer to the finish line, Tersan, the AI Drug Development Company and ANAVEX Life Sciences announced positive ANAVEX®2-73 Phase II results.

Cambridge, Mass. and Paris, France, March 21st, 2022. Elara Pharmaceuticals Ltd, the eXplainable Artificial Intelligence clinical development Company, announced today the presentation of Phase 2 clinical biomarker data from the ANAVEX2-73-PDD-001 Parkinson’s Disease Dementia (PDD) study at the AD/PD 2022 International Conference.

MDS-UPDRS Total score improved significantly for patients treated with ANAVEX®2-73 high oral once-daily dose compared to placebo. The improvement is clinically relevant, corresponding to a relative improvement of 18.9% over 14 weeks. Balanced and global improvements were observed within all MDS-UPDRS sub-scores Part I-IV.

SIGMAR1 mRNA expression biomarker, previously identified using Tersan’s eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (xAI) KEM® technology, was significantly increased in ANAVEX®2-73 treated patients vs. placebo over the course of treatment (p=0.035). In addition, this biomarker was significantly associated with improvements of MDS-UPDRS scores and cognitive efficacy endpoints CDR system.

 Age,  certain neurophysiological measures, and high systolic blood pressure at baseline were identified with an increased response for the endpoints. 

This finding builds on the KEM® AI-driven precision medicine clinical development platform of ANAVEX®2-73, where the SIGMAR1 mRNA expression biomarker as previously identified as a potential biomarker (Hampel et al, Alzheimer Dement (N Y). 2020; 6(1): e12013) is characterized across multiple indications, including Alzheimer’s Disease and Rett syndrome.

“The reported strong positive biomarker and clinical results in Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, building on previously reported positive results in RETT syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease, further illustrate the power of KEM® Explainable AI to accelerate precision medicine drug development building on in-depth understanding of the intersection between SIGMAR1 molecular pathways and disease biology” said Mohammad Afshar, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Elara Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
