Description

[0001] Case P39070 DOSE REGIMEN Field of the invention The present invention relates to (R)-7-(3,5-difluorophenoxy)-N-((1R,5S,8s)-3-(6- methoxypyridazin-4-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2- b][1,2,4]triazol-2-amine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in the treatment of a disease associated with amyloidosis, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, and its method of treatment thereof. Background of the invention Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Two major pathological hallmarks of AD are amyloid plaques, which result from extracellular accumulation and deposition of amyloid β-peptides (Aβ), mostly Aβ40 and Aβ42 (Steiner et al. 2018), and neurofibrillary tangles containing the hyper-phosphorylated tau protein in neurons (Masters et al.2015; Knopman et al 2021). The formation of amyloid plaques (Aβ plaques) is predominantly driven by the longer forms of Aβ peptides, Aβ42 and to a lesser extent Aβ40; these longer forms of Aβ are therefore called amyloidogenic. The shorter forms of Aβ are called non-amyloidogenic as they do not contribute to the formation of Aβ plaques. The biogenesis of Aβ peptides involved the proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by two proteases, the BACE1 (Beta-secretase 1; beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1) and gamma secretase. Gamma secretase is an aspartate protease composed of four subunits named Nicastrin (NCT), anterior pharynx-defective 1 (APH), presenilin enhancer 2 (PEN2), and presenilin 1 or 2 (PS) (Figure 1). APP is initially cleaved by BACE1 followed by a first gamma secretase cleavage, producing long Aβ peptides of either 48 or 49 amino acids, respectively (Figure 2). These long Aβ precursor peptides remain bound to the gamma secretase complex where they subsequently undergo further proteolytic trimming by removal of di- or tri-peptides, leading to the mix of Aβ peptides with a length of 40 and 42, as well as 38 and 37 amino acids, respectively. Once the Aβ peptides have reached their final lengths they are released in the extracellular space. Gamma secretase has emerged as an attractive drug target as this enzyme is critical for the production of Aβ peptides and for defining the composition of Aβ in their different lengths. Modulating the activity of gamma secretase is a compelling approach to lower the levels of the neurotoxic Aβ42 peptide in the brain while leaving the proteolytic processing of other gamma secretase substrates such as Notch unchanged (Luo and Li 2023; Hur 2022). Gamma Secretase Modulators (GSMs) selectively change the processing of APP by gamma secretase such that the production of the amyloidogenic Aβ42 and Aβ40 peptide fragments are reduced while the production of the non-amyloidogenic shorter fragments Aβ38 and Aβ37 are concomitantly increased. Importantly, GSMs do not inhibit the gamma secretase enzyme, thus, the total amount of Aβ peptides remains unchanged. Furthermore, the processing of other proteins by gamma secretase is not affected by GSMs. The latter is a key differentiation of GSMs from secretase inhibitors – BACE1 and gamma secretase inhibitors (GSIs) – which were initially tested as possible therapies for AD. BACE1 inhibitors and GSIs block the entire enzyme activity and reduce the total amount of Aβ produced. However, both BACE1 and gamma secretase are processing a large number of protein substrates other than APP, many of which play critical roles in the whole organism for e.g. the formation and maintenance of synapses and the differentiation of gastrointestinal stem cells (BACE1: Hampel et al. 2015; gamma secretase: Guener and Lichtenthaler 2020). The processing of these other substrates is also inhibited by BACE1 inhibitors and GSIs, respectively, leading to severe side effects when human subjects are treated with either of these two drug classes. The lack of clinical efficacy combined with the side effect profile prompted the discontinuation of clinical development of BACE1 inhibitors and GSIs for the treatment of AD (Hur 2020; Alzforum BACE inhibitor update from 16 Dec 2020). Taken together, these observations support the expectation that GSMs have the potential to serve as an effective and safe disease modifying treatment of AD. Gamma secretase is composed of four subunits named Nicastrin (NCT), anterior pharynx- defective 1 (APH), presenilin enhancer 2 (PEN2), and presenilin (PS); presenilin occurs in two isoforms, presenilin 1 and 2, respectively, which have essentially the same biological function in the presenilin complex. The proteolytically active site of the gamma secretase complex is located within the presenilin subunit, the aspartate residues critical for the enzymatic activity are indicated by asterisks (Figure 1, with modifications Luo and Li, 2023). APP undergoes an initial cleavage by BACE1, followed by the first cleavage by gamma secretase, termed epsilon (ε) cut. These two initial proteolytic cuts produces 1) the APP intracellular domain (AICD) fragment which is released intracellularly, and 2) a mix of Aβ48 and Aβ49, respectively, with either 48 or 49 amino acids, depending on the location of the gamma secretase cleavage site (gamma secretase produces a mix of both fragment lengths). The Aβ48 and Aβ49 peptides remain bound to the gamma secretase enzyme where they undergo trimming by sequential removal of di- and tri-peptides by ζ- and γ-cuts leading to shorter Aβ peptides which are eventually released by the enzyme complex. The length of the initially produced Aβ peptides determines the lengths of the final Aβ peptides released from the enzyme complex: Aβ48 fragments lead to the production of predominantly Aβ42 and Aβ38 (‘Aβ48 product line’), while Aβ49 fragments lead to the production of predominantly Aβ40 and Aβ37 (‘Aβ49 product line’). In healthy individuals and under normal conditions, newly produced Aβ peptides consist of ca. 90% Aβ40 and 10% Aβ42, with smaller amounts of shorter Aβ fragments such as Aβ37 and Aβ38 (Steiner et al.2018; Figure with modifications Luo and Li, 2023). The key factor for the efficacy of GSMs is the above-mentioned selective reduction of aggregation-prone toxic Aβ42 and Aβ40 fragments. The concomitantly and proportionally increased shorter peptides Aβ37 and Aβ38 on the other hand are significantly less prone to toxic aggregate formation and can even inhibit Aβ42 aggregation (Blain et al 2016, Moore et al 2018, Quartey et al 2021, Braun et al 2022). Moreover, higher levels of shorter Aβ fragments are linked to a later onset of AD in observational cohorts (Cullen et al.2022). Chronic GSM treatment of transgenic mice that show an age-dependent amyloid accumulation, effectively reduced Aβ42 and Aβ40 levels in brain tissue, CSF and plasma, and reduced the deposition of amyloid plaques in brain (van Broeck et al.2011; Rynearson et al.2021). The causal role for Aβ42 and amyloid depositions in AD is also strongly supported by the AD pathobiology and human genetics. In general, there is no AD without Aβ deposits in the brain – other factors known to play a role in AD such as Tau pathology alone are insufficient to cause AD (Masters et al.2015, Knopman et al.2021). Moreover, subjects with Autosomal-dominant Alzheimer's Disease (ADAD, also known as Familial Alzheimer’s Disease – FAD, or Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease - EOAD) mutations representing an estimated 1% of all AD cases, carry mutations in the genes encoding Presenilin 1, Presenilin 2, or APP which cause elevated levels of Aβ production and Aβ deposits occurring in the brain early in life (mostly 2nd– 3rddecade) (Sirkis et al.2022). Thus, in ADAD carriers, the increased production of Aβ is causal for the early onset aggressive forms of AD observed in these individuals. On the other hand, mutations leading to reduced levels of Aβ such as the ‘Icelandic mutation’ (APP A673T) are protective against the occurrence of AD (Jonsson et al.2012). Taken together, Aβ production and formation of Aβ deposits in the brain plays a causal role in AD. Here, especially Aβ42 (and to a lesser extent Aβ40) is amyloidogenic, i.e. causes the formation of Aβ aggregates and eventually Aβ deposits in the brain. The shorter Aβ fragments Aβ37 and Aβ38 are not amyloidogenic, i.e. they do not cause the formation of Aβ aggregates and eventually Aβ deposits in the brain; on the contrary, the shorter Aβ fragment lengths can even inhibit the formation of Aβ aggregates comprised by the longer Aβ fragments. These data, combined with the preclinical evidence, strongly support that the reduction of amyloidogenic Aβ42 and Aβ40 by GSM treatment will translate into reduced levels of aggregated Aβ and Aβ deposits leading to a prevention of AD onset or a slowing of AD progression, depending on when treatment starts in the disease trajectory.

To date, only medications treating the symptoms of AD have received marketing approval, including acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEi) and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists. The mainstay of symptomatic AD therapy, AChEi and NMDA receptor antagonists, addressing neurotransmitter deficits which arise as a consequence of synaptic and neuronal degeneration in the course of the disease. These treatments provide some benefits with respect to cognitive function, but these are only maintained for a short period of time after the start of therapy due to the disease progression. Aβ-targeted therapies are being actively pursued in preclinical and clinical studies for the treatment of AD. Two Aβ amyloid-directed antibodies, aducanumab [ADUHELM™] and lecanemab (LEQEMBI™), received accelerated approval in the United States for the treatment of AD in June 2021 and January 2023. Lecanemab, a monoclonal antibody targeting aggregated forms of Aβ amyloid, achieved a lowering of amyloid plaques in the brain of early-stage AD patients, which was linked to a significant slowing of decline in cognition and function and downstream biomarkers of AD (van Dyck et al.2023). Aducanumab, another therapeutic antibody targeting aggregated Aβ amyloid, also achieved a reduction of Aβ amyloid load in AD patients and showed a trend towards the slowing of cognitive decline, along with positive effects on downstream biomarker (Budd Haeberlein et al.2022, Tampi et al.2021). Of note, continued approval for both products may be contingent upon verification of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s) observed in treated patients. (ADUHELM USPI, LEQEMBI USPI; FDA 2021; FDA 2023). Other Aβ amyloid immunotherapies such as donanemab are currently in clinical development. Nevertheless, no drug can yet improve or halt the worsening of AD symptoms and declining of daily function, and there remains a high unmet medical need. The present invention intends to respond to this unmet medical need. Compound (R)-7-(3,5- difluorophenoxy)-N-((1R,5S,8s)-3-(6-methoxypyridazin-4-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)- 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazol-2-amine, also known as RO7269162, is currently investigated in clinical trials. The Phase I Study BP42242, was the EIH study. This was a randomized, adaptive, double-blind, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD), placebo- controlled, parallel-arm, Phase I study to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of orally administered RO7269162 in healthy participants. In this EIH study (BP42242), RO7269162 was safe and well tolerated as a single dose up to 480 mg (SAD), and multiple doses up to 230 mg / day for up to 14 days both in young and elderly healthy participants (MAD). It was surprisingly found that a dose-dependent reduction in Aβ42 was observed after single oral administration of doses up to 480 mg and multiple oral administration of doses up to 230 mg RO7269162 once daily for 14 days. Moreover, a dose- dependent decrease in Aβ42 and Aβ40 along with a concurrent dose-dependent increase in Aβ37 and Aβ38 were observed in CSF following multiple oral dose administration of RO7269162 at doses ranging 30-230 mg.

The nomenclature used in the present application is based on IUPAC systematic nomenclature, unless indicated otherwise. Various features and embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein, however other features of the invention, modifications and equivalents will be apparent to a person skilled in the relevant art, based on the teachings provided. The invention described is not limited to the examples and embodiments provided, various alternatives equivalents will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include the plural unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. For example, "an" individual will also include "individuals". Unless otherwise stated, the following terms used in the specification and claims have the meanings given below: The term "Active pharmaceutical ingredient" or “API” refers to the compound or molecule in a pharmaceutical composition that has a particular biological activity. The term “Amyloidosis” refers to the accumulation of amyloid deposits in the brain caused by an elevated production or a reduction of clearance of amyloid beta peptides. The term “Alzheimer’s Disease” or “Alzheimer’s disease” (AD) refers to a disease of the brain in which the progressive degeneration of brain cells causes symptoms of dementia such as memory loss, difficulty performing daily activities, and changes in judgement, reasoning, behavior and emotions. Neuropathological hallmarks of AD are the occurrence of deposits of aggregated amyloid beta peptides, or amyloid plaques, as well as deposits of aggregated and hyperphosphorylated Tau protein, also known as neurofibrillary tangles. The term “sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease” refers to the most common form of Alzheimer’s disease; it is not linked to any specific, identifiable genetic mutation and does not show a pattern of inheritance in family pedigrees. Sporadic Alzheimer’s disease is due to a complex combination of genes, environmental conditions and lifestyle. The single greatest risk factor for developing sporadic Alzheimer’s disease is aging. Most symptoms become noticeable after age 60-65 years. The term “genetically caused Alzheimer’s disease” refers to a rare form of Alzheimer’s disease (accounts for less than 5% of all cases of Alzheimer’s disease) due to changes or alterations in specific genes that can be directly passed on from parent to child. Synonyms of “genetically caused Alzheimer’s disease” are Autosomal-dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD), Familial Alzheimer’s Disease (FAD), or Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease (EOAD). The specific genes in which mutations have been identified that underlie “genetically caused Alzheimer’s disease” include: two presenilin genes (PSEN1 and PSEN2), and an amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene. Familial Alzheimer’s disease symptoms are similar to those of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease which typically start at a younger age compared to sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease. Alterations in the PSEN1, PSEN2, and APP genes will almost certainly develop young onset Familial Alzheimer’s disease (before the age of 65). Familial Alzheimer’s disease is hereditary. If a subject has familial Alzheimer’s disease, each of their children has an increased chance of inheriting the disease-causing mutation and developing Alzheimer’s disease The term “symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease” refers to an individual with AD pathological changes and progressive cognitive and functional decline. It includes: 1- mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (pre-dementia) and 2- dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. The term “preclinical Alzheimer’s disease” refers to a subject who has evidence of early AD pathological changes but does not meet clinical criteria for MCI or dementia (Sperling RA, et al. 2011). The term “elderly person” refers to a person who is above 60 years of age. The term "individual" or “subject” refers to, used interchangeably, a mammal. Mammals include, but are not limited to, domesticated animals (e.g. cows, sheep, cats, dogs, and horses), primates (e.g. humans and non-human primates such as monkeys), rabbits, and rodents (e.g. mice and rats). In certain embodiments, the individual or subject is a human. The term “mg / kg” refers to the dose in milligram of (R)-7-(3,5-difluorophenoxy)-N-((1R,5S,8s)- 3-(6-methoxypyridazin-4-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2- b][1,2,4]triazol-2-amine being used per kilogram of body weight of the subject to be treated. For example, 0.25 mg / kg means a dose of 0.25 milligram of (R)-7-(3,5-difluorophenoxy)-N- ((1R,5S,8s)-3-(6-methoxypyridazin-4-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)-6,7-dihydro-5H- pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazol-2-amine per kilogram of body weight of the subject to be treated. The term “mg” refers to the dose in milligram of (R)-7-(3,5-difluorophenoxy)-N-((1R,5S,8s)-3- (6-methoxypyridazin-4-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2- b][1,2,4]triazol-2-amine being used in the subject to be treated. In some embodiments, the subject is a human. The term "patient" refers to a human (such as a male or female human) who is in need of a treatment with RO7269162. The terms “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient”, “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” and “therapeutically inert excipient” can be used interchangeably and denote any pharmaceutically acceptable ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition having no therapeutic activity and being non-toxic to the subject administered, such as disintegrators, binders, fillers, solvents, buffers, tonicity agents, stabilizers, antioxidants, surfactants, carriers, diluents or lubricants used in formulating pharmaceutical products. The term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a preparation which is in such form as to permit the biological activity of an active ingredient contained therein to be effective, and which contains no additional components which are unacceptably toxic to a subject to which the composition would be administered. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" denotes an attribute of a material which is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is generally safe, non-toxic, and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable and is acceptable for veterinary as well as human pharmaceutical use.

[0002] The following examples are intended merely to illustrate the practice of the present invention and is not provided by way of limitation. 1) Example 1 RO7269162 was studied in a randomized, adaptive, double-blind, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD), placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, Phase I study in healthy subjects. The study investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (including food effect), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of orally administered RO7269162. The interaction with caffeine and midazolam was also investigated; these results are not discussed here as they have no relevance for the dose selection. The study was conducted in five parts (1a, 1b, 2, 3a, 3b, 4 – see also Table 1): Part 1a and Part 3a were the SAD and MAD parts, respectively, in healthy male and female participants aged 18−45 years (Part 1a) and 18−64 years (Part 3a). Part 1b included the investigation of food effect (FE) on RO7269162 exposure in participants aged 18−45 years. Part 3b included the investigation of multiple oral doses of RO7269162 in healthy elderly participants (aged 65−85 years). Part 2 investigated the effect of single oral doses of RO7269162 on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma PD related to amyloid beta (Aβ) metabolism and their relationship to RO7269162 exposure in healthy participants aged 40−70 years. Proof of mechanism was established through assessment of changes in CSF of Aβ species as the best proxy for the expected effects of RO7269162 in the brain. Part 4 (drug-drug interaction [DDI]) investigated the effect of multiple oral doses of RO7269162 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single oral dose of caffeine (sensitive CYP1A2 substrate) and midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) in healthy participants aged 18−64 years. These results are not presented and discussed here as they have no relevance for the dose selection. The study has been completed, and the preliminary analyses have been conducted.

RO7269162 plasma concentration declined in a bi-exponential manner with an estimated apparent terminal half-life (t1 / 2) ranging from approximately 13 to 21 hours across the dose range tested. RO7269162 exposures increased with increasing doses in a dose-proportional manner in terms of Cmaxand area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC; area under the plasma concentration-time curve over a dosing interval [AUCτ] and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from Time 0 to infinity [AUCinf]). After multiple oral administration with RO7269162, exposure accumulation ratios (for Cmax, AUCτ, and Ctrough) were approximately 1.5 to 1.8. Steady state was achieved at around 7 days post onset of dosing. When RO7269162 was administered with food, the median time to achieve peak plasma concentration (Tmax) was delayed to approximately 3 hours, and Cmax was reduced by about 20%. There was no relevant change in AUCinf. These results indicate that food may slightly decrease the rate but not the extent of RO7269162 oral drug absorption. Following single oral administration, RO7269162 appeared rapidly in the CSF. RO7269162 exposures in CSF after single oral administration in fasted conditions increased with increasing doses in a dose-proportional manner. Exposure in CSF represents approximately 1.5% to 3% of the total drug exposure in plasma, indicating CSF levels are similar to free (unbound) drug levels in plasma (free fraction of RO7269162 in human plasma was, on average, 2.3%). The plasma PK profiles observed after once daily oral administration of 100 mg RO7269162 for 14 days in elderly participants in Part 3b were overall consistent with those of young participants observed in Part 3a. The PK plasma profiles observed after daily oral administration of 150 mg RO7269162 for 6 days (Part 4) were consistent with the PK plasma profiles observed in Part 3a, and the concomitant administration of 2 mg midazolam and 200 mg caffeine had no effect on RO7269162 exposure. A dose-dependent reduction in plasma Aβ42 levels was observed following single and multiple oral administration of RO7269162. After single dose administration, the maximum mean percent change from baseline of Aβ42 was -70% after administration of 480 mg RO7269162. Plasma Aβ42 levels returned to their baseline levels within 5 days after the administration of RO7269162. Following once daily administration of 230 mg RO7269162 for 14 days, the maximum mean percent change from baseline in plasma Aβ42 on Day 14 was - 74% and remained at around -70% up to pre-dose (24h post last dose). Steady-state PD effect was achieved within 7 days post onset of daily dose administration. Following administration of 60 mg RO7269162 in fed conditions, the maximum mean decrease in Aβ42 was delayed and observed at 12 hours post dose, but no significant difference in Aβ42 maximum reduction versus fasted conditions was observed. A dose-dependent decrease in Aβ42 and Aβ40 and a dose-dependent increase in Aβ37 and Aβ38 were observed in CSF following once daily administration of RO7269162 for 14 days at doses ranging 30-230 mg. Following daily administration of 230 mg RO7269162, steady-state predose (trough) levels of Aβ42 and Aβ40 were decreased in CSF by approximately -70% and -60%, respectively, while corresponding Aβ37 and Aβ38 were increased by approximately 370% and 38%, respectively. ii. 1.2) Safety Safety and tolerability were assessed by reviewing individual and aggregate data from the BP42242 study which included results available for 127 healthy participants. Overall, the data indicate that RO7269162 was safe and well-tolerated with single oral doses up to 480 mg and multiple oral doses up to 230 mg once daily for 14 days. No deaths or serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported. Two adverse events (AEs) leading to withdrawal from study were reported in Part 3a (MAD young participants) and Part 4 (DDI). These two AEs were considered not related to the study drug. All AEs reported in Part 1a (SAD), Part 1b (FE), and Parts 3a and 3b (MAD young participants and MAD elderly participants) were mild except for one moderate AE (preferred term [PT]: food poisoning) which was not related to RO7269162 as assessed by the investigator in the 240 mg cohort of Part 1a (SAD). In Part 2, where the effect of single doses of RO7269162 or placebo on the CSF PD were studied, the majority of AEs were mild to moderate, except three severe AEs in 3 participants (two post lumbar puncture syndrome and one procedural pain). All moderate AEs but one AE (pain in extremity in the 240-mg group,) and all severe AEs were considered related to the study procedure (CSF sampling), and all resolved. No other severe AEs were reported. In Part 4 (DDI), all AEs were mild and considered not related to RO7269162 by the investigator. There were no dose-dependent changes in vital signs, ECG or safety laboratory parameters, neurological examination, Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale and neurocognitive tests monitored in this study. 2. 1.3) EFFECTS IN HUMANS a. Clinical Pharmacodynamics Plasma Pharmacodynamics after Multiple Oral Dose Administration of RO7269162 in Young Healthy Participants (Part 3a) Preliminary mean percent change from baseline of Aβ42 monomers versus time profiles in plasma following daily oral administration of RO7269162 at 30 mg, 70 mg, 230 mg RO7269162 or placebo in fed conditions for 14 days in Part 3a are displayed in Figure 3. A dose-dependent Aβ42 reduction was observed in plasma following daily administration of oral doses at 30 mg, 70 mg, and 230 mg RO7269162 for 14 days. The maximum mean percent change from baseline of Aβ42 in plasma was - 45.9% (at 2 h post dose on Day 14), - 51.8% (at 12 h post dose on Day 8), and - 74.2% (at 12 h post dose on Day 8), following daily oral administration of 30 mg, 70 mg, and 230 mg RO7269162, respectively. Time to steady state pharmacodynamics appeared to be reached at approximately 7 days post onset of daily administration. At trough (24 hours post last dose on Day 14), the maximum mean percent change from baseline of Aβ42 was - 40.6%, - 45.2%, and - 70.5% following multiple administration of 30 mg, 70 mg, and 230 mg RO7269162, respectively. Plasma Aβ42 levels returned to their predose baseline levels within about 5 days after the last administration of RO7269162. Plasma and CSF levels of markers of amyloid deposition were measured using Elecsys immunoassays. For plasma: Elecsys® β-Amyloid (1-42) plasma; Elecsys® β-Amyloid (1-40) plasma immunoassay.

Plasma Aβ42 Pharmacodynamics after Multiple Dose Administration in Elderly Healthy Participants (Part 3b) Consistent with the data obtained in healthy volunteers, following daily oral administration of RO7269162 at 100 mg or placebo in fed conditions for 14 days in elderly healthy participants, the maximum mean percent change from baseline of Aβ42 in plasma were - 42.2%, - 61.1%, and - 62.7% at around 12 h post dose on respectively Day 1, Day 8, and Day 14. Pharmacodynamics steady state was achieved within 7 days of daily administration. At predose on Day 14, the maximum mean percent change from baseline of Aβ42 was - 59.0%. CSF Pharmacodynamics after Multiple Administration Preliminary mean Aβ monomers levels in CSF and percent change from baseline have been determined following daily oral administration of RO7269162 at 30 mg, 70 mg, and 230 mg RO7269162 or placebo in fed conditions for 14 days in young healthy participants. A dose-dependent decrease in both Aβ42 and Aβ40 along with a concurrent dose-dependent increase in Aβ37 and Aβ38 were observed in CSF following multiple RO7269162 administration. Following daily administration of 230 mg RO7269162, predose levels of Aβ42 and Aβ40 decreased by approximately - 70% and - 60%, respectively, at steady state; and Aβ37 and Aβ38 increased by approximately 370% and 38%, respectively. Plasma and CSF levels of markers of amyloid deposition were measured using Elecsys immunoassays. For plasma: Elecsys® β-Amyloid (1-42) plasma; Elecsys® β-Amyloid (1-40) plasma immunoassay. For CSF: Elecsys® β-Amyloid (1-42) CSF II; Elecsys® β-Amyloid (1-40) CSF; Elecsys® β- Amyloid (137) CSF; Elecsys® β-Amyloid (1-38) CSF.

[0003] Summary and Conclusion ● A dose-dependent reduction in Aβ42 was observed after single oral administration of doses up to 480 mg and multiple oral administration of doses up to 230 mg RO7269162 once daily for 14 days. ● A dose-dependent decrease in Aβ42 and Aβ40 along with a concurrent dose-dependent increase in Aβ37 and Aβ38 were observed in CSF following multiple oral dose administration of RO7269162 at doses ranging 30-230 mg. 2) Example 2 Study BP44745 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose, multi-center, parallel-group Phase IIa study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and the effects of longer term oral dosing of RO7269162 on amyloid and non-amyloid disease-related biomarkers in cognitively unimpaired participants at risk of AD, and in participants with prodromal AD. Participants The planned number of participants for the study is approximately 245. Participants aged 60 to 85 years will be selected to be: a) amyloid positive based on amyloid depositions of ≥ 24 centiloids (CL) units measured by an amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan; note: a CL value > 100 will be allowed only for approximately 15% of the total sample size; b) either cognitively unimpaired, or with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD according to the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer’s Association (NIA – AA) workgroups on diagnostic guidelines for AD (Sperling et al 2011, Albert et al 2011), and / or according to the updated NIA-AA research framework (Jack et al 2018); c) with a value of CDR-GS of either 0 (for cognitively unimpaired participants), or 0.5 (for participants with MCI); d) participants must meet all the eligibility criteria outlined in ‘Study Population’ section of the protocol. Treatment Groups The study uses a parallel group study design, with participants randomized into one of four arms: three different dose arms of RO7269162 and one control arm of matching placebo. The doses and the (approximate) number of participants in the four treatment arms, randomized according to ratio of 2:1:2:2, are as follows: Arm 1, Placebo: 70 participants Arm 2, 30 mg RO7269162: 35 participants Arm 3, 60 mg RO7269162: 70 participants Arm 4, 120 mg RO7269162: 70 participants The Principal Investigators (PIs) and site personnel involved in the clinical conduct of the study will remain blinded to participants’ study treatment and dose level until the completion of the study. Study team members and Sponsor representatives will also remain blinded. Duration of Participation The total duration of the study will be approximately 90 weeks and it is divided as follows: Screening period: The overall screening period may last up to 12 weeks; Baseline period: Up to 2-week baseline period prior to first dose administration; Double-blind treatment period: From Day 1 to completion of Week 72; Safety follow-up period: 28 days (4 weeks) after End of Treatment (EoT). End of Study The end of the study is defined as the date when the last participant last observation (LPLO) occurs. LPLO is expected to occur 4 weeks after the last dose administration. 2.1) Rationale for study design Rationale for Study Population Cognitively unimpaired participants at risk of AD, or participants with MCI due to AD have been chosen to allow the assessment of the effects of RO7269162 on safety, PK, and PD markers in the target population. Evidence from observational cohorts and clinical-pathological correlation studies suggest that the AD neuropathological hallmarks and the in vivo biomarker changes typical of AD begin many years before the clinical symptoms. Furthermore, the rate of change of certain AD-related biomarkers is higher at the preclinical and prodromal stages of the disease, compared to the more advanced ones (Jack et al 2013). Changes in AD biomarkers have been suggested to occur in a temporally ordered manner (Ingelsson et al 2004; Mormino et al 2009, Jack et al 2013) with Aβ abnormalities (measured by CSF Aβ42 or amyloid PET) among the first to appear. Fluid biomarkers of neuroinflammation (like glial fibrillary acidic protein, GFAP), synaptic (neurogranin), and neuronal dysfunction (several plasma p-Tau species) have also been found to become abnormal in the course of AD (Wellington et al 2016, Barthélemy et al 2020, Benedet et al 2021). Treatment randomization will be stratified by subjects’ cognitive level (measured by the CDR- GS), amyloid burden, APOE-ε4 status and CSF sampling. To avoid an excessive presence of participants with very high amyloid burden, the proportion of those with amyloid levels above 100 CL will be limited to approximately 15% of the entire study population. Rationale for Control Group Participants will be randomized to RO7269162 or placebo treatment. A placebo arm is considered necessary to generate an adequate within study comparator dataset that will allow proper evaluation of the magnitude of any effects related to safety, tolerability and PD. To eliminate potential bias, all participants, Investigators and other study personnel at the site and at the Sponsor will be blinded to individual treatment allocation. 2.2) Justification for dose The dose range to be investigated in this study (30-120 mg / day) has been selected based on PK, pharmacodynamics, and safety data from administration of single and multiple doses of RO7269162 in the SAD and MAD study in healthy volunteers, as well as preclinical data (Investigator’s Brochure RO7269162). In the entry into human (EIH) study (BP42242), RO7269162 was safe and well tolerated as a single dose up to 480 mg (SAD), and multiple doses up to 230 mg / day for up to 14 days both in young and elderly healthy participants (MAD). The pharmacological activity of RO7269162 (gamma secretase modulation) was evaluated in the EIH SAD and MAD study (BP42242) by measuring the ability to decrease the relative production of Aβ42 (decrease from pre-dose baseline) in plasma and CSF. A clear dose- dependency was seen and the observed exposure effect relationship was characterized by population PK / PD to determine drug potency (IC50) and maximum modulatory capacity (Imax). The simulated (steady-state) maximum and minimum Aβ42modulation for each of the selected doses is shown in Table 3. In the population median patient, once daily dosing at the lowest dose of 30 mg is expected to achieve ~30% reduction from baseline in Aβ42 levels at pre-dose (trough), and a maximum reduction of 40% over the dosing interval . The highest dose of 120 mg is anticipated to achieve ~55% reduction from baseline in Aβ42levels at pre dose, and a maximum of about 70%, a value in proximity of the apparent maximum inhibition potential (Imax) of the molecule. The simulated (population PK [pop PK] model) population median steady-state drug exposure for each of the selected dose levels (30 mg, 60 mg and 120 mg once daily) is shown in Table 3. The highest mean observed single (SAD) and multiple dose (MAD) exposures in the phase 1 study (see example 1) in healthy volunteers (after single dose of 480 mg: mean Cmax= 3’920 ng / mL and AUC0-24h= 41’300 ng*hr / mL; after multiple dose of 230 mg: mean Cmax= 2’660 ng / mL and AUC0-24h = 32’400 ng*hr / mL) provide a respective exposure multiple relative to the simulated human steady-state exposure for the highest selected dose of 120 mg in this Phase IIa study of 2.6 and 1.8-fold for Cmaxand 2.1 and 1.6-fold for AUC (based on total drug concentration). No adverse toxicities were seen in the chronic toxicity studies in mice (26 weeks) and monkeys (39-week) up to the highest doses selected with daily oral dosing, 200 mg / kg and 20 mg / kg respectively. Two key toxicities were observed in animal studies at higher doses than those administered in chronic toxicity studies: 1) subacute central nervous system (CNS) toxicity at high doses in mice (250 mg / kg) and monkeys (100 mg / kg) and 2) Infiltration and inflammation in the small intestine only in monkeys (40 mg / kg). Because free (unbound) but not total (bound and unbound) drug in plasma can enter the CNS, this toxicity is most likely driven by the free drug concentration in plasma. In agreement to this, free (but not total) drug exposure of RO7269162 in plasma has shown close alignment between mice and monkeys at the Lowest-Observed-Adverse Effect Level (LOAEL) for CNS effects (250 mg / kg and 100 mg / kg in mouse and monkey, respectively), suggesting that free drug is the more relevant metric to evaluate exposure multiples (relative to human) for this type of toxicity. The approach to compare exposure across species based on free rather than total drug is supported by the substantial inter-species differences in the average RO7269162 fraction unbound in plasma in mice, cynomolgus monkey and humans of 1.7%, 6.0%, and 2.3%, respectively. Table 2 shows that the doses selected for this study are supported by an adequate exposure multiple established in the preclinical GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) toxicology studies: The systemic exposure margin for chronic dosing in the monkey is ~1 when compared to the highest dose of 20 mg / kg / day used in the 39 week chronic toxicity study in monkeys (the corresponding margin for the mouse exceeds 10-fold and is not displayed). Thus, at the highest dose (120 mg), human steady-state total drug exposure (AUC0-24,ss) will, on average, not exceed the mean exposure seen in monkey at the No-Observed-Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) dose of the chronic toxicity study (20 mg / kg / day), and peak drug levels (Cmax,ss) would remain, on average, about 1.6-fold lower than seen in monkey (Table 2). In the cynomolgus monkey, the No-Observed-Effect Level (NOEL) for CNS toxicity was established at 40 mg / kg / day. Table 2 supports that human median steady-state free drug exposure at the highest dose proposed for this study (120 mg daily) will remain well below the free drug concentration observed at the NOEL dose in cynomolgus monkey, with large animal-to-human exposure multiples established in terms of both free Cmax (10-fold) and free AUC0-24h(5-fold). The corresponding exposure multiples for the mouse are higher than those for monkey and are not displayed. In conclusion, the doses selected for this study are supported by adequate exposure multiples as established in preclinical GLP toxicology studies.

Mean animal-to-human exposure multiple (free drug based) was calculated from male and female cynomolgus monkey TK data (13 week, 40 mg / kg / day). In male monkey, mean total drug exposure at the CNS No-Observed-Effect Level (NOEL) was Cmax: 5460 ng / mL and AUC0-24h: 37’800 ng•hr / mL. In female monkey, mean total drug exposure at the NOEL was Cmax: 6510 ng / mL and AUC0-24h: 40’000 ng•hr / mL. Unbound (free drug) exposure was estimated as the observed total drug value multiplied with the mean fraction unbound (cynomolgus monkey: 6.0%; human 2.3%) 3. Mean animal-to-human exposure multiple calculated from male and female cynomolgus monkey TK data (39 week, 20 mg / kg / day). In male monkey, mean total drug exposure at the NOAEL was Cmax: 1650 ng / mL and AUC0-24h: 15’200 ng*hr / mL. In female monkey, mean total drug exposure at the NOAEL was Cmax: 3210 ng / mL and AUC0-24h: 21’800 ng*hr / mL. 2.3) Study population The participants in this study will be male and female participants between 60 and 85 years of age (inclusive) who are amyloid positive based on an amyloid burden of ≥ 24 CL units, and either cognitively unimpaired, or with a diagnosis of MCI due to AD according to the NIA – AA workgroups on diagnostic guidelines for AD (Sperling et al. 2011, Albert et al.2011), and / or according to the updated NIA-AA research framework (Jack et al.2018).

Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR) The CDR (Morris 1993) is a clinician-reported outcomes measure used to stage the severity of AD dementia based on a semi-structured interview with the participant and a reliable informant (e.g., study partner). The CDR characterizes the participant’s level of cognitive and functional impairment across six domains (i.e., memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care) on a 5-point rating scale in which 0 = “None”, 0.5 = “questionable”, 1 = “mild”, 2 = “moderate”, 3 = “severe” (with the exception of personal care, which is rated on a 4-point rating scale and excludes the questionable impairment level). Two scores can be generated: the CDR Global Score (CDR-GS) and the CDR Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). The CDR-GS is calculated based on the Washington University CDR- assignment algorithm and characterizes a participant’s level of global impairment / stage of dementia according to the following categories: 0 (normal), 0.5 (very mild dementia), 1 (mild dementia), 2 (moderate dementia), and 3 (severe dementia). The CDR-SB is calculated by summing the ratings across each of the six domains (total score: 0-18), with higher scores indicating greater impairment. The CDR-SB score is a detailed quantitative general index that provides more information than the CDR-GS in participants with mild dementia (Berg 1988, Morris et al 2001, O'Bryant et al 2010).
