IXICO announces an expanded contract for its imaging services
with Vaccinex
Supports Vaccinex's diversification into clinical development of
pepinemab for Alzheimer's disease
IXICO plc (AIM: IXI), the data analytics company delivering
insights in neuroscience, today announces an award of a contract to
provide imaging services for Vaccinex Inc.'s (Nasdaq: VCNX) planned
Phase Ib/IIa trial of pepinemab, a potential treatment of
Alzheimer's disease (AD). This will build on the Company's existing
contract to support Vaccinex's Phase II study of pepinemab in the
Huntington's disease SIGNAL trial, which was previously announced
in September 2017.
Giulio Cerroni, Chief Executive Officer of IXICO, commented:
"This AD trial, called SIGNAL - AD, is part of a new wave of
investment in treatments for neurodegeneration by the global
biopharmaceutical industry, with additional assets being brought
through the pipeline thanks to the insights unlocked in earlier
research programmes.
"We are delighted that Vaccinex has chosen to expand our
partnership to support its diversification into Alzheimer's
disease. Our existing project with Vaccinex, the SIGNAL trial, is
in Huntington's disease (HD) to study the safety and efficacy of
pepinemab, where the positive imaging results obtained in an
interim cohort analysis indicated its potential in additional
therapeutic areas; this contract was initiated in 2017 and the new
award is a great testament to the achievements of our two
organisations working diligently together since then. We are
pleased to be part of Vaccinex's effort to bring hope to AD
patients and their families."
This contract does not have significant impact on management's
expectations of perfomance for the year.
