UCB Bepranemab shows mixed results in Alzheimer's phase 2a

UCB presented results from the phase 2a (TOGETHER) study of bepranemab (antibody targeting the mid-region of tau) in people living with prodromal to mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) during a late-breaker at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) conference. The results showed a miss on the primary endpoint, but some signal on secondary endpoints and in sub-group analysis. With the candidate back with UCB from Genentech, the company is evaluating next steps in the development program. We considered this a moon-shot program, with <1% contribution to our SOTP. As such, we reiterate our € 173 TP and Accumulate rating.
