ProMIS Neurosciences Is ProMIS’ Alzheimer’s Antibody Better Than Biogen’s?
ProMIS advances ALS Program. ProMIS Neurosciences yesterday announced it has generated antibody candidates for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. We believe this is a positive development as the company nears completion of preclinical development and prepares to start human clinical trials.
ProMIS' differentiation. ProMIS is developing a novel therapeutic approach targeting a distinctive molecular entity, known as toxic oligomers, which the scientific literature recognizes as the true culprits of neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, FTD, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. In contrast, competitor Biogen’s aducanumab is targeting amyloid-beta plaques for the treatment of Alzheimer’s. ProMIS’ lead drug PMN310 does not bind amyloid-beta plaques.
Impact of Biogen’s news. In a reversal of fortunes, Biogen’s stock gained 25% over the last two trading sessions after the company announced that it plans to file for FDA approval of aducanumab for the treatment of Alzheimer’s. On March 21, 2019, Biogen’s stock lost 29% after the company discontinued two Phase III clinical trials on the use of aducanumab. In our view, the news is positive for the sector. However, we still believe that ProMIS’ PMN310 is a superior drug.
Reiterating Outperform Rating. We believe ProMIS’s currently deflated share price does not reflect the potential of its lead drug PMN310 and versatility of its antibody platform technology. In our opinion, PMN310 has a unique mechanism of action targeting the true culprit of Alzheimer's disease, which makes it potentially superior to aducanumab. We are reiterating our Outperform rating and $1.00 target price on the stock.

ProMIS Neurosciences issues Chairman's update memorandum and white paper on Alzheimer's disease
PR NEWSWIRE 2:00 AM ET 10/24/2019
New resources detail positive impact of aducanumab pivotal trial results and recent progress of ProMIS pipeline programs
TORONTO and CAMBRIDGE, MA, Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - ProMIS Neurosciences, Inc. , a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of antibody therapeutics targeting toxic oligomers implicated in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, has issued a memorandum, compiled by its Executive Chairman of the Board, that provides context for the company's recent program progress as well as a white paper analysis of Biogen's October 22, 2019 decision to submit its amyloid-beta (Aß)-targeting drug candidate, aducanumab for Alzheimer's disease (AD) to the U.S. Food and Drug administration (FDA) in early 2020. The new resources detail how each development demonstrates strong momentum across the company's preclinical programs.
ProMIS Neurosciences Inc. (CNW Group/ProMIS Neurosciences Inc.)
On October 22, 2019, Biogen announced that the conclusions from aducanumab's interim analysis for futility, disclosed on March 21, 2019, were incorrect. Biogen also announced that analysis of additional trial data now indicates that aducanumab is effective in patients with longer term, high-dose exposure, and that they plan to file a marketing application with FDA early next year.
"We believe that over the coming months there will be a greater recognition of the likelihood that Biogen's aducanumab will be the first ever approved disease modifying therapy in Alzheimer's, although with a modest clinical benefit," said Eugene Williams, Executive Chairman, ProMIS Neurosciences(ARFXF). "It will change the thinking about amyloid generally, and more people will understand the growing body of scientific literature showing that the toxic oligomer of amyloid is the critical target. Selectivity for the toxic oligomer, as demonstrated preclinically with ProMIS' candidate antibody therapeutic PMN310, will increasingly be recognized as a critical differentiator, the basis of 'best in class'. Those expectations could be very positive for ProMIS."
In October 2019, the company announced significant progress on several of its antibody programs demonstrating the unique ability of its drug discovery and development platform to rapidly and cost-effectively discover, predict and validate antibody candidates that are highly selective for neurotoxic misfolded proteins. Each of these programs, briefly updated below, is the object of ongoing partnering discussions with several large pharmaceutical companies.
Parkinson's disease (PD) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)—preclinical in vitro studies, announced October 8, indicate that antibody candidates targeting toxic forms of alpha-synuclein, a root cause of PD and MSA, bind strongly to toxic alpha-synuclein aggregates derived from MSA-affected brain. The antibodies also protect cultured neurons from alpha-synuclein toxicity and spreading (propagation).
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)—new data, announced October 22, show several antibody candidates demonstrate selectivity for toxic, misfolded intracellular aggregates of TDP-43, a root cause of ALS and FTD, with no binding to normal TDP-43 located in the cell nucleus.
Alzheimer's disease—new data, announced October 17, show several antibody candidates bind toxic forms of tau, a protein that can misfold and play a major role in disease progression. The antibodies also inhibit propagation of neurotoxic tau in a cellular model.

No question. This is an opportunity to accumulate.
ARFXF is undervalued now. A deal could be shepherded along sooner.
"The momentum behind each of our programs is palpable," said Elliot Goldstein, MD, ProMIS Neurosciences(ARFXF) President and CEO. "In the past 30 days, we've announced data advancing our development programs selectively targeting toxic misfolded proteins for treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), ALS and FTD. Yesterday, Biogen's decision to submit its amyloid-beta targeting drug candidate, aducanumab, for FDA approval signaled a milestone shift in the promise of next-generation amyloid-beta targeting drugs. Our lead program, PMN310, offers sniper-like precision for the toxic, misfolded form of amyloid beta, a key feature that offers important potential advantages compared to aducanumab. We will continue to support the patient community by advancing our programs, in particular PMN310 for Alzheimer's disease, leveraging our proprietary, drug discovery platform."
I bet there was!! Some phones rang today.
Lots of excitement today at Promis.

ProMIS Neurosciences Identifies Novel Antibody Candidates for Multiple System Atrophy
Oct 08, 2019 08:15 am
Antibodies show highly selective binding to pathogenic forms of alpha-synuclein implicated in multiple system atrophy
TORONTO, Ontario and CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — October 8, 2019 — ProMIS Neurosciences, Inc. (TSX: PMN) (OTCQB: ARFXF), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of antibody therapeutics targeting toxic oligomers implicated in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, has identified several novel antibody candidates for Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a severe, Parkinson’s-like disease caused by toxic, misfolded forms of the protein alpha-synuclein. The new antibody candidates join ProMIS’ strong pipeline of antibodies that demonstrate high selectivity for toxic misfolded proteins, implicated as a root cause of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Our preclinical in vitro studies indicate that antibody candidates targeting toxic forms of alpha-synuclein bind strongly to toxic alpha-synuclein aggregates derived from MSA-affected brain. The same antibodies protect cultured neurons from alpha-synuclein toxicity and spreading (propagation).
MSA is a rare, progressive disorder caused by loss of nerve cells in the brain; it affects approximately15,000 people in the United States. Scientific studies indicate that toxic oligomers and small soluble fibrils, derived from naturally occurring alpha-synuclein, are a root cause of disease development and progression in MSA. No disease-modifying treatments exist in part because traditional drug development methods are unable to generate antibodies that can target with precision the neurotoxic forms of alpha-synuclein. The ProMIS platform is a novel, proprietary method for discovering and developing antibodies that can uniquely and precisely target highly toxic misfolded proteins, also called toxic oligomers or prions, while preserving normal forms of the protein and normal protein function. The platform not only generates high-quality antibody candidates but also delivers powerful, validated candidates in months versus years.
“Once again, the ProMIS platform has demonstrated its unique ability to generate antibody candidates with the desired selectivity for toxic misfolded proteins and do so rapidly and cost-effectively,” said Johanne Kaplan, Chief Development Officer at ProMIS Neurosciences. “As new biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases continue to emerge, the opportunity to advance—with confidence—potential therapies for these diseases is unprecedented. We’ll continue to strengthen our existing programs, while continuing to discover and develop root cause therapies for the many protein misfolding diseases that have stymied the drug development community for decades.”
ProMIS’ new antibody candidates for MSA join a robust pipeline of antibody candidates that demonstrate selectivity for the toxic species arising from naturally occurring proteins in the brain. The pipeline includes:
Alzheimer’s disease:
PMN310, an antibody clinical candidate that demonstrates best-in-class selectivity for the toxic oligomeric form of amyloid beta compared with other antibodies in development.
Potential antibody candidates that selectively target the toxic form of tau
Parkinson’s disease
Antibody candidates showing best-in-class selectivity for toxic forms of alpha- synuclein compared to other therapeutic antibodies in development
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
Antibody candidates selectively targeting toxic forms of TDP43
Antibody candidates selectively targeting toxic forms of SOD1

ProMIS Neurosciences Announces Second Quarter 2019 Results
PR NEWSWIRE 6:30 AM ET 8/13/2019
Company continues to expand its portfolio of highly selective antibodies targeting root cause of Alzheimer's, ALS and Parkinson's disease
TORONTO and CAMBRIDGE, MA, Aug. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - ProMIS Neurosciences, Inc.(ARFXF) , a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of antibody therapeutics targeting toxic oligomers implicated in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, today announced its operational and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
"Over the course of the first half of 2019, the breadth and depth of our unique discovery and development platform was further evidenced as ProMIS made considerable progress in expanding its portfolio of opportunities in neurodegenerative diseases," stated Eugene Williams, ProMIS' Executive Chairman. "In the second quarter of this year, we were able to identify novel antibodies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) with selectivity for the neurotoxic form of tau. This is in addition to the prior identification of antibody candidates selectively targeting toxic forms of alpha-synuclein (a-syn) for Parkinson's disease (PD) and toxic, aggregated forms of TDP43 for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)."
Corporate Highlights
In June 2019, the Company completed a private placement of 4,680,000 common share units at a price of $0.25 per unit resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $1,170,000 ($1,093,492 net of share issuance costs). Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share warrant. The common shares are subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at a price of $0.35 per share at any time for five years.
In May 2019, ProMIS announced the identification of novel antibodies for AD with selectivity for the neurotoxic form of tau. ProMIS leveraged its proprietary drug discovery and development platform to identify several novel antibodies that selectively bind toxic oligomers of tau. The platform produced antibodies that meet a key success factor for a viable Alzheimer's disease therapy: the ability to selectively target the neurotoxic form of a protein, while sparing the normal forms of the protein, a challenge that has contributed to recent late-stage clinical trial failures. The platform not only generates high-quality antibody candidates, it delivers powerful, validated candidates in months versus years. Used in combination with new biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease, researchers could dramatically improve the success and speed of future therapy development efforts.
In June 2019, ProMIS presented key data on monoclonal antibody PMN310 for AD at the Keystone Symposium on Neurodegenerative Diseases: New Insights and Therapeutic Opportunities. For nearly fifty years, the conference has attracted the world's most accomplished researchers in neurodegenerative diseases to discuss future directions in therapy and care. ProMIS Chief Development Officer Dr. Johanne Kaplan presented data showing that PMN310 possesses superior selectivity for amyloid beta toxic oligomers and improved therapeutic potential compared with other amyloid beta-directed antibodies.
Scientific Advisory Board Appointment
In June 2019, the Company appointed C. Warren Olanow, MD, FRCPC, FAAN, FRCP(Hon) to its scientific advisory board (SAB). Dr. Olanow has dedicated his career to the study of neurodegeneration, particularly Parkinson's disease, through his work in academia, scientific research, clinical trials and professional societies. He is the previous Henry P. and Georgette Goldschmidt Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and is presently Professor Emeritus in the Department of Neurology and in the Department of Neuroscience. He also serves as Chief Executive Officer of CLINTREX, a pharmaceutical advisory firm that has designed numerous clinical trials in neurodegenerative disease for the pharmaceutical industry.

If a few more buyers show up this could move even stronger but the trend is great.
I like the trend
Anyone want to take out those .19’s and the man comes the .20’s
The Bill Gates announcement is a bigger deal than some might suspect. He is stepping in and now many other organizations could very well follow his lead. ARFXF will be a candidate for such opportunity with their novel targeted drug and the need for funds to push this forward faster.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see an announcement of funding within 45 days.
This is very likely even more so on multiple wealthy billionaire’s Foundation’s radar!!
The IND should be getting closer.
Could reach .25 and pause for news, or maybe move up still.
The big news today is Bill Gates giving money towards Alzheimer’s research.
It's hard to overstate how important finding a better diagnostic is for fighting #Alzheimers. That’s why I’m investing in new ideas for easier and more accurate diagnosis of the disease. https://t.co/WM9phNmyJo
— Bill Gates (@BillGates) July 29, 2019
Love the slow climb. An IND meeting can't be too far out....can it? Still trading only about $50k per day though. Would love to see a pop that doubles it...
I recently doubled but could not resist some of those 16's today so I added another 15k.
This could be acquired for a few bucks....
Moving up. Added a few more.
good timing because I just doubled my position in the .14's
Something seems to be cooking
Management talked about an IND yet? Sorry I still got this on the back burner. Been in other things.
yes. something is going to happen here by year-end...IND or better.
Not sure if this is the bottom but it has to be close.

About the ProMIS Pipeline
ProMIS Neurosciences’ lead candidate, PMN310, is a monoclonal antibody for Alzheimer’s disease created with the ProMIS drug discovery and development platform, a novel, proprietary method for discovering and developing antibodies that can uniquely and precisely target toxic forms of otherwise normal proteins. PMN310 selectively targets the toxic oligomeric species of amyloid beta (Aß), a root cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Preclinical studies show PMN310 demonstrates a high degree of binding to toxic oligomers without binding to non-toxic forms of amyloid beta protein and greater selectivity versus other Aß-directed antibodies. ProMIS has developed antibody candidates that demonstrate high selectivity for the toxic species of naturally occurring proteins in the brain, including other antibody candidates for Alzheimer’s disease that selectively target toxic Tau, antibody candidates for Parkinson’s disease that show best-in-class selectivity for toxic forms of alpha-synuclein, and antibody candidates for ALS that target the toxic form of TDP43.

(TSX: PMN) (OTCQB: ARFXF), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of antibody therapeutics targeting toxic oligomers implicated in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, will present key data on monoclonal antibody PMN310 for Alzheimer’s disease at the Keystone Symposium on Neurodegenerative Diseases: New Insights and Therapeutic Opportunities. For nearly fifty years, the conference has attracted the world’s most accomplished researchers in neurodegenerative diseases to discuss future directions in therapy and care. ProMIS’ Chief Development Officer Dr. Johanne Kaplan will present the company’s lead therapeutic candidate PMN310 which demonstrates high selectivity for the toxic forms of amyloid beta implicated as a root cause of Alzheimer’s disease.
In the poster, “Selective targeting of HHQK conformational epitope in amyloid-beta oligomer species by PMN310, a monoclonal antibody rationally designed for greater therapeutic potency in Alzheimer’s disease,” Dr. Kaplan will present data for PMN310 that show:
Superior selectivity for amyloid beta (AßOs) toxic oligomers.
Potential to safely administer high doses of PMN310 with a reduced risk of brain swelling or ARIA.
Potential to show greater therapeutic potency compared with other Aß-directed antibodies.
“Evidence continues to mount, showing that amyloid-beta toxic oligomers (AßO) – not amyloid plaque – are the key target for Alzheimer’s disease therapy,” said Dr. Johanne Kaplan. “The current therapeutic gap lies in how to effectively neutralize the toxic oligomer without wasting antibody on non-toxic forms of the protein. We’re pleased our data will help inform discussions regarding future directions among the world’s most accomplished researchers. Our data will demonstrate the unique ability of the ProMIS discovery platform to generate antibodies that bind the toxic species of amyloid beta while preserving healthy forms of the protein. Humanized PMN310 is currently in advanced preclinical development.”
The conference, Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology, Neurodegenerative Diseases: New Insights and Therapeutic Opportunities, takes place on June 16-20, 2019 at Keystone Resort in Keystone, Colorado. For more information, please visit www.keystonesymposia.org.
