Newly analyzed biomarker data from the initial dose-escalation Phase 1 AD trial found that troculeucel reduces GFAP, NfL, p-tau181, GDF-15, and LTBP2 levels, which are detectable up to 10 years before dementia symptoms appear according to recent reports. This suggests a potential role for the use of troculeucel in delaying or preventing dementia onset in asymptomatic individuals with detectable biomarkers. Preliminary analysis from the Phase 1/2a AD trial administering the highest dose of cryopreserved troculeucel given to date (6 billion cells) showed troculeucel to be very safe with no adverse reactions. Of the first three subjects treated at this highest dose, 100% had stable or improved

Two of the first three patients in the Phase 1 cohort of the Phase 1/2a clinical trial, treated at the highest dose of 6 billion cells per treatment, were found to have improved CDR-SB cognitive scores, resulting in a clinical upgrade from moderate AD to mild AD after only three months on therapy. First patient dosed in the Phase 2 cohort of the trial, continuing at the highest dose of 6 billion cells per treatment.
