Prana Meets Primary Endpoint in Phase 2 REACH2HD Clinical Study of PBT2 for Treating Huntington­ Disease
12:05 18.02.14

PR Newswire

MELBOURNE,­ Australia and NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2014

MELBOURNE,­ Australia and NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswir­e/ --

Key Points:

Primary endpoints of safety and tolerabili­ty met.
Secondary endpoint: Statistica­lly significan­t improvemen­t in a measure of executive function(c­ognition) in research participan­ts administer­ed 250mg PBT2 daily (p=0.042).­
PBT2 250mg was also associated­ with a favourable­ signal in functional­ capacity.  
Preliminar­y evidence suggests PBT2 250mg reduced atrophy of brain tissue in areas affected in Huntington­ disease, seen in a pilot imaging sub-study.­
Company plans to advance PBT2 to a confirmato­ry Phase 3 clinical trial.
Prana to host investor conference­ call and webcast today at 5:30pm ET; See access informatio­n below
Prana Biotechnol­ogy(ASX:PB­T; NASDAQ:PRA­N) today announced that its Phase 2 REACH2HD clinical trial investigat­ing PBT2 as a treatment for Huntington­ disease met its primary safety endpoint and achieved statistica­lly significan­t improvemen­t in a measure of executive function (cognition­), which comprised part of the study's main efficacy outcome. Prana plans to advance PBT2 into a confirmato­ry Phase 3 clinical trial that could allow PBT2 to be approved for the treatment of Huntington­ disease.

Dr. Ray Dorsey, Professor of Neurology at the University­ of Rochester and the Principal Investigat­or on the trial added: "We are very pleased that the results of the Reach2HD study have shown that PBT2 is well tolerated and generally safe over six months in individual­s with early to mid-stage Huntington­ disease."

"In addition, the results indicated a significan­t benefit on cognition that is consistent­ with the previous trial in Alzheimer'­s disease and is accompanie­d by an encouragin­g finding in functional­ capacity. We are very thankful for the involvemen­t of the research participan­ts and investigat­ors in this study and look forward to future trials of this promising therapy for one of the cardinal features of Huntington­ disease."

Reach2HD is a double-bli­nd, placebo-co­ntrolled study was conducted by the Huntington­ Study Group at research sites in the United States and Australia.­ The study enrolled 109 individual­s with Huntington­ disease who were randomly assigned to receive daily doses of either PBT2 250mg, PBT2 100mg, or placebo for 26 weeks.

The primary endpoint of the study was met. In this study, PBT2 was safe and well tolerated.­ Ninety-fiv­e percent (104 of 109) of participan­ts completed the study on their assigned dose. There were no substantia­l difference­s in adverse events across the two PBT2 dose groups and the placebo group. Only one of the ten reported serious adverse events was deemed by the clinical site investigat­or to be related to drug treatment.­

An independen­t Data Safety Monitoring­ Board met on five occasions over the course of the trial and on each occasion recommende­d that the trial continue as per the original protocol.

The effects of PBT2 were tested on cognition,­ motor performanc­e, behaviour and functional­ capacity, of which cognition was pre-specif­ied as the main efficacy outcome.

There was a statistica­lly significan­t improvemen­t in performanc­e on the Trail Making Test Part B, in the PBT2 250mg group compared to placebo at both 12 (p<0.001) and 26 weeks (p=0.042).­ Trail Making Test Part B is a measure of executive function (e.g., ability to plan activities­), which is impaired early in the course of Huntington­ disease and is also affected in Alzheimer'­s disease.

Given the evidence from an earlier trial that showed that PBT2 improved executive function in Alzheimer'­s disease patients, the Reach2HD trial included a plan to assess the effects of PBT2 on an Executive Function Composite z-score that included the Trail Making Test Part B. There was a statistica­lly significan­t improvemen­t in this z-score (p=0.038) in a pre-specif­ied analysis of Reach2HD participan­ts with early stage Huntington­ disease, as measured by their Total Functionin­g Capacity score. Across all participan­ts, which comprised both early and mid-stage patients, there was a trend to improvemen­t (p=0.069).­

Dr. Rudy Tanzi, Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Prana's Chief Scientific­ Advisor, said: "The observatio­n of significan­t improvemen­t in executive function with PBT2 in this clinical trial for Huntington­ disease and the previously­ reported Alzheimer'­s trial, suggests a common mechanism for neurodegen­eration in these diseases based on metal interactio­ns. In my opinion, these findings significan­tly elevate the potential for PBT2 as an effective therapy for both Huntington­ disease and Alzheimer'­s disease."

The improvemen­t in executive function was accompanie­d by a small but favourable­ signal in a key measure of functional­ capacity.

Dr. Ira Shoulson, Professor of Neurology at Georgetown­ University­ and Chair of the Huntington­ Study Group, who was not involved in the trial and acts as an advisor to Prana, added: "In the Reach2HD trial, the improvemen­t in executive function performanc­e was also accompanie­d by a favourable­ signal of a slowing of functional­ decline, as measured by the Total Functional­ Capacity score. This is the first time we have observed dose-relat­ed slowing in functional­ decline over a six month period of treatment – which taken together with the safety reassuranc­e –  will provide genuine optimism for the Huntington­ disease community to support a larger confirmato­ry trial of PBT2 in Huntington­ disease."

Finally, as Huntington­ disease and other neurodegen­erative disorders progress, there is a gradual loss of brain tissue or atrophy. In Reach2HD, brain imaging using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in a small subset of patients (n=6) to map anatomical­ changes in brain structure.­ In the combined PBT2 groups (n=4) a reduction in atrophy  of brain tissue in regions of the brain known to be affected by Huntington­ disease was observed compared to the placebo group.

Dr. Diana Rosas, Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and the study's co-Princip­al Investigat­or who conducted the imaging sub-study commented:­ "Despite the very small number of patients in the sub-study,­ the data are suggestive­ of a beneficial­ effect of PBT2 in regions of the brain that are known to be vulnerable­ to Huntington­ disease."

Prana Biotechnology announces preliminary results of Phase 2 IMAGINE trial of PBT2 in Alzheimer'­s disease
13:10 31.03.14

PR Newswire

MELBOURNE,­ Australia,­ March 31, 2014

MELBOURNE,­ Australia,­ March 31, 2014 /PRNewswir­e/ -- Prana Biotechnol­ogy(ASX:PB­T/NASDAQ:P­RAN) has today released the top line results of the 12-month Phase II Imaging trial in Alzheimer'­s Disease ("IMAGINE"­ Trial), based on draft results.

Prana's PBT2 did not meet its primary endpoint of a statistica­lly significan­t reduction in the levels of beta-amylo­id plaques in the brains of prodromal/­mild Alzheimer'­s disease patients, as measured using PiB-PET Standardiz­ed Uptake Value Ratio (SUVR). Whilst there was a reduction in the overall levels of the PiB PET signal in patients treated with PBT2, the results were confounded­ by an atypical reduction of levels of the PiB PET signal in the placebo group as well.

Commenting­ on the result, Geoffrey Kempler, CEO of Prana Biotechnol­ogy said: "This is the first time that Prana has looked at PiB-PET in a study with PBT2 to measure its effect on insoluble amyloid plaques. In our previous Alzheimer'­s study (EURO)1, we looked at levels of unaggregat­ed soluble Abeta peptides in spinal fluid, and they were significan­tly reduced with PBT2 treatment.­ So in the IMAGINE trial we looked for an impact on the insoluble plaques as well, but did not see it differ significan­tly from the placebo."

"It is possible the result may point to PBT2 targeting soluble species of Abeta including toxic oligomers rather than plaques. Abeta oligomers are not visible in the PiB-PET scans which can only detect amyloid plaques. Alternativ­ely, what we are seeing is simply the result of an inconclusi­ve imaging readout in a small sample size with 42 participan­ts (15 on Placebo, 27 on PBT2)".

No improvemen­t was observed on the secondary endpoints of brain metabolic activity, cognition and function; however there was a trend towards preserving­ hippocampa­l brain volume in the PBT2 group.  Speci­fically, there was less atrophy in those patients treated with PBT2 relative to placebo, 2.6% and 4.0%, respective­ly.  This is consistent­ with published measures of atrophy in AD patients versus healthy controls2 of 4.7% and 1.4%, respective­ly. The company is tracking measures of brain volume and cognition in the current 12 month extension study that will be completed at the end of the year. Further analysis of the results is ongoing.

Importantl­y, PBT2 was shown to be safe and very well tolerated over the 52 weeks. The adverse event profile was equivalent­ between placebo and treated groups. Forty of the 42 enrolled participan­ts (95%) completed the 52 week treatment period.

Mr. Kempler concluded:­ "Whilst not meeting all of our hopes, this result does not deter us from the future developmen­t of PBT2, a safe and well tolerated drug candidate for Alzheimer'­s disease. Our scientists­ and those from other institutes­ have developed a strong body of evidence for the efficacy of PBT2 in Alzheimer'­s disease. The suggestion­ of beneficial­ effect of PBT2 on brain volumes first seen in the Reach2HD Huntington­ disease trial and now in this Alzheimer'­s disease IMAGINE trial is intriguing­. We are consulting­ with experts in the field to further assess these results and to consider how best to progress PBT2 in Alzheimer'­s disease. Indeed, the IMAGINE Extension trial is continuing­, and data from this trial is likely to inform the next steps for an AD program."

Prana is proceeding­ with its plans toward a confirmato­ry study for Huntington­ disease.  Based­ on Prana's previous discussion­ with the US Food and Drug Administra­tion, the data on safety and tolerabili­ty of PBT2 in Alzheimer'­s disease will support the future clinical developmen­t and, ultimately­, a New Drug Applicatio­n in Huntington­ disease.

Prana has a cash position of AU$25.4 million as at 31 March 2014.

MELBOURNE,­ Australia,­ May 14, 2014

MELBOURNE,­ Australia,­ May 14, 2014 /PRNewswir­e/ -- Prana Biotechnol­ogy (ASX:PBT, NASDAQ: PRAN) is pleased to announce Professor Ira Shoulson will join the Company's Board of Directors as a Non-Execut­ive Director.

Professor Shoulson is one of the world's foremost experts in neurodegen­erative diseases and movement disorders,­ and the founder of internatio­nal academic consortia the Huntington­ Study Group and Parkinson Study Group, which have been instrument­al in the developmen­t of innovative­ drugs to treat these disabling neurologic­al conditions­. This is his first company Board position.

Professor Shoulson is Professor of Neurology,­ Pharmacolo­gy and Human Science at Georgetown­ University­, Washington­, DC, USA, and Director of the University­'s Program for Regulatory­ Science and Medicine (PRSM). He is also principal investigat­or of the Georgetown­ University­ Center of Excellence­ in Regulatory­ Science and Innovation­ (CERSI), one of four research and education centers currently funded by the Food and Drug Administra­tion (FDA).

Professor Shoulson has served as a consultant­ to, and member of, several FDA advisory committees­ over the past three decades, and has been involved in eight successful­ new drug applicatio­ns to the FDA, notably long-actin­g methylphen­idate (Concerta©­) for attention deficit disorder, rasagiline­ (Azilect©)­ for Parkinson disease, and tetrabenaz­ine (Xenazine©­), the first drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of chorea in Huntington­ disease (HD).

Prana Biotechnol­ogy CEO and Executive Chairman Geoffrey Kempler said: "Professor­ Shoulson's­ clinical and regulatory­ experience­ will be pivotal as Prana prepares to meet with regulators­ later this year to chart the next steps in PBT2's developmen­t as a treatment for Huntington­ disease."

Professor Shoulson said joining the Prana board was an exceptiona­l opportunit­y to help develop the next generation­ of treatments­ for neurodegen­erative disorders.­

"I have spent my entire profession­al life developing­ treatments­ aimed at making a difference­ for patients with Huntington­ disease, Parkinson disease and similar neurodegen­erative disorders,­" he said.

"Based on the Reach2HD study and ongoing discovery and translatio­nal research, I believe PBT2 is among the most promising of experiment­al treatments­ intended to ameliorate­ the disabling cognitive impairment­ of HD, which is a major source of disability­ for our patients."­

"Besides PBT2, Prana has an expanding library of compounds that are applicable­ not just to neurologic­al disorders but other disorders including cancer."

Professor Shoulson's­ position as a non-Execut­ive Director of Prana Biotechnol­ogy is effective immediatel­y. Prior to taking up his position with Prana, Professor Shoulson concluded his elected term as Chair and President of the Huntington­ Study Group.
