BioArctic AB announced the first clinical study with ABBV-0805 has started in the U.S. AbbVie is responsible for the clinical development of ABBV-0805. The Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers will investigate the safety and tolerability of ABBV-0805.
ABBV-0805 is the most advanced within the portfolio of alpha-synuclein targeting antibodies in-licensed by AbbVie from BioArctic in December 2018. The antibody is being evaluated as a disease modifying treatment for Parkinson's disease.
ABBV-0805 is a result of a strategic research alliance between BioArctic and AbbVie focused on the development of a potential immunotherapy for Parkinson's disease.
"It is gratifying that our partner AbbVie has started the first clinical trial, a Phase 1 study, with ABBV-0805. We are now looking forward to ABBV-0805 moving forward in the clinical program and developing into a therapy with the potential to provide meaningful advances for patients with Parkinson's disease," said Gunilla Osswald, Ph.D., CEO, BioArctic.
