About UB-311 in Alzheimer's Disease
Active vaccination of human individuals against A has yet to be safely and effectively achieved. Other active vaccine efforts have either reported low antibody titers and responder rates or significant safety issues such as T-cell mediated encephalitis. UB-311 is a novel UBITh(TM) active vaccine targeting the N-terminus of A peptides and is designed to induce high B-cell specific responses while avoiding T-cell inflammation. In the Phase I study, UB-311 vaccination safely elevated anti-A antibodies in all patients with a suggestion of cognitive stabilization.
