Vigil Neuroscience, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIGL), a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to harnessing the power of microglia for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, today announced an update on the Phase 2 IGNITE open-label clinical trial evaluating iluzanebart, a monoclonal antibody TREM2 agonist, for the potential treatment of adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP).
Iluzanebart demonstrated a favorable safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile across both the 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg dose cohorts. The Phase 2 IGNITE trial showed no beneficial effects on biomarker or clinical efficacy endpoints with treatment of iluzanebart in ALSP patients. Based upon these results, the Phase 2 long-term extension study is being discontinued in accordance with the process previously disclosed.
