Therini Bio advances novel anti-inflammatory Alzheimer's therapy THN391 to Phase 1b patient dosing
Our portfolio company Therini Bio has reached a significant clinical milestone with the dosing of the first patient in their Phase 1b trial evaluating THN391, a first-in-class monoclonal antibody for Alzheimer's disease treatment.
THN391 represents a pioneering approach targeting chronic neuroinflammation through selective fibrin epitope binding, addressing underlying vascular dysfunction in neurodegeneration.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in early Alzheimer's patients aged 65-85 with vascular risk factors, with initial data expected mid-2026. This breakthrough therapy, which demonstrated excellent safety and monthly dosing convenience in Phase 1a trials, could transform treatment paradigms for Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases driven by inflammatory processes.
