#ICYMI, Coya Therapeutics announced positive results yesterday of an investigator initiated double-blind study of low-dose IL-2 in Alzheimer’s Disease, co-sponsored with Houston Methodist, Alzheimer's Association®, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and National Institute on Aging (NIA) with support provided by Coya. The study strongly supports Coya’s approach to address #neurodegenerative diseases and once-a-month dosing, underscoring the importance of appropriate IL-2 dosing for maintaining Treg functionality and its associated effects on CSF biomarkers and cognitive outcomes. "Alireza Faridar, M.D., lead investigator and neurologist at Houston Methodist, saw the sustained expansion of Tregs throughout the period in which patients received IL-2. On the Treg endpoints, IL-2 performed best when given every four weeks, rather than every two weeks. The less frequent dosing regimen also looked better on the exploratory efficacy endpoints."

Unleashing the power of Tregs to tackle neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases.
About us
Headquartered in Houston, TX, Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: COYA) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing proprietary treatments focused on the biology and potential therapeutic advantages of regulatory T cells (“Tregs”) to target systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation. Dysfunctional Tregs underlie numerous conditions including neurodegenerative, metabolic, and autoimmune diseases, and this cellular dysfunction may lead to a sustained inflammation and oxidative stress resulting in lack of homeostasis of the immune system. Coya’s product candidate pipeline leverages multiple therapeutic modalities aimed at restoring the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions of Tregs. Coya’s therapeutic platforms include Treg-enhancing biologics, Treg-derived exosomes, and autologous Treg cell therapy. Coya’s 300 Series product candidates, COYA 301 and COYA 302, are biologic therapies intended to enhance Treg function and expand Treg numbers. COYA 301 is a cytokine biologic for subcutaneous administration to enhance Treg function and expand Treg numbers in vivo, and COYA 302 is a biologic combination for subcutaneous and/or intravenous administration intended to enhance Treg function while depleting T effector function and activated macrophages. These two mechanisms may be additive or synergistic in suppressing inflammation. Coya’s mission is focused on the advancement of innovative therapeutic approaches to address the significant unmet medical needs of patients with serious neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and metabolic diseases.

Progress around novel therapies informed by the biology of aging continues at CTAD Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease. ADDF-funded Coya Therapeutics, Inc. reported positive results from their phase 2 trial of a novel drug that aims to enhance the function of regulatory T cells, which suppress #immune responses, showing the drug was safe and well-tolerated in #Alzheimers patients. This is one of many drugs in development that has the potential to be used in tandem with #antiamyloid therapies, moving us closer to treating Alzheimer's with a combination therapy approach. #CTAD24 https://bit.ly/3NKNIde via Reuters

Some quick stats from the important IL-2 Alzheimer’s study released today: 1. It met primary and secondary endpoints for safety and Treg cell population enhancement demonstrating target engagement. 2. Exploratory endpoints demonstrated stabilization of cognitive function in the every four-week dosing (LD IL-2 q4wks) treatment vs. placebo, which illustrated cognitive decline. 3. The findings support advancing LD IL-2 q4wks and LD IL-2 q4wks combination approaches in future studies.

According to the Barrow Neurological Institute, some of the more common symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders may include: agitation, difficulty with movement, forgetfulness, memory loss, mood changes, and more. Be sure to got to regular checkups and talk to your doctor about any symptoms you may be experiencing. https://lnkd.in/ecFXSvgf #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #Neurodegenerative #FTD #ALS

According to The ALS Association, about 90% of ALS cases occur without any known family history or genetic cause with the remaining 10% of ALS cases are inherited through a mutated gene with a known connection to the disease. Most people who develop ALS are between the ages of 40 and 70, with an average age of 55 at the time of diagnosis and men are 20% more likely to develop the disease than women.
