Acumen to Present JCR-Backed Sabirnetug Brain Delivery and Biomarker Data at AD/PD
Acumen Pharmaceuticals will present one oral and two poster sessions at the AD/PD 2026 conference in Copenhagen March 17-21, showcasing enhanced brain delivery of sabirnetug and novel AβO-targeting antibodies. A collaboration with JCR leverages transferrin-receptor technology to boost sabirnetug brain delivery in a Phase 2 trial enrolling 542 early Alzheimer’s patients.
1. Acumen at AD/PD 2026 Conference
Acumen Pharmaceuticals will present one oral and two poster sessions at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and Related Neurological Disorders in Copenhagen from March 17-21, 2026. These presentations will cover sabirnetug brain delivery enhancements, biomarker treatment responses and novel AβO-targeting antibodies.
2. Enhanced Brain Delivery Study
The oral presentation on March 21 will detail enhanced brain delivery of sabirnetug after fusion with an anti-transferrin receptor antibody fragment in a mouse model, leveraging JCR Pharmaceuticals’ transferrin-receptor-targeting J-Brain Cargo® platform. This data underscores the ongoing collaboration aimed at improving central nervous system penetration and safety profile.
3. Biomarker and Antibody Poster Presentations
One poster will report exploratory evaluation of the NULISA-Seq™ CNS disease panel, tracking CSF- and blood-based biomarkers to assess sabirnetug treatment effects. The second poster will describe the development and characterization of highly selective antibodies against toxic soluble amyloid β oligomers.
4. Sabirnetug Pipeline Status
Sabirnetug (ACU193) is a humanized monoclonal antibody with Fast Track designation for early Alzheimer’s disease and is being evaluated in the Phase 2 ALTITUDE-AD trial that has enrolled 542 patients. Acumen is also exploring a subcutaneous formulation using ENHANZE® technology to broaden delivery options.
