Completes Review of Development Program
- Development and Commercialisation of MPAC’s for the Treatment of
Neurodegenerative Diseases Remains Company’s Primary Focus and Goal -
Melbourne, Australia – June 16, 2005: Prana Biotechnology Limited (NASDAQ: PRAN,
ASX: PBT), today announced that it has completed the strategic review of the Company’s
development programs and reaffirmed its commitment to the development of PBT2 for the
treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease.
The Company concluded that:
• PBT2 continues as the lead candidate for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
• Based on the Company’s evaluation we are confident that PBT2 will not present the
impurity problems that were found in PBT1.
• Prana’s primary focus and goal continues to be the development and commercialisation
of a range of MPAC’s (metal-protein attenuating compounds) for the treatment of
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease.
Prana commenced a series of Phase I clinical trials of PBT2 in March, with the dosing of its first
subjects at a facility associated with the Utrecht University Hospital in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
The Phase 1 program, comprising several studies, is expected to continue through the balance
of 2005 and well into 2006.
“Prana has made considerable progress in developing PBT2 in the past 12 months,” said Mr.
Geoffrey Kempler, Executive Chairman and CEO, noting that:
• “we have completed a comprehensive battery of in vitro and in vivo tests to characterise
the pharmacology and toxicology of the compound prior to the Phase I trial; and
• PBT2 has successfully passed two (2) in vivo mutagenicity tests.
• we are successfully advancing scaled up manufacturing in anticipation of GMP
production; and
• we commenced the Phase I clinical trial as scheduled.”
Alzheimer’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder estimated to effect over 14 million people
worldwide. There is no effective cure available to patients.
