- EBD™ bispecific antibodies targeting both AβOs and hTfR showed improved brain penetration compared to the native anti-AβO antibodies, which may enable administration with a low-volume delivery device and reduce the delivered dose required for efficacy
- EBD candidate ACU401 achieves up to 40-fold greater frontal cortex exposure in non-human primates and significant increase in exposures in deep brain regions
- No hematological safety signals observed in non-human primates, demonstrating low potential for anemia
- ALTITUDE-AD patient experience data highlight unmet need in early Alzheimer's disease
NEWTON, Mass., July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acumen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABOS) (Acumen), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics that target soluble amyloid beta oligomers (AβOs) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), today announced new findings presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC®) 2026 in London. Following collaboration with JCR Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (JCR) on EBD candidate development, studies demonstrated improved brain penetration of anti-AβO antibodies through transferrin receptor-mediated delivery across both mouse and non-human primate models. Additionally, research from early symptomatic AD patients highlighted the lived experience among ALTITUDE-AD trial participants and their study partners.
