Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: Understanding
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: Overview
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by the accumulation of tau protein in the brain. It primarily affects movement, balance, speech, vision, and cognition. Early symptoms often include frequent falls, difficulty with eye movements (especially looking down), and stiffness in the neck. As the disease progresses, individuals may experience slurred speech, swallowing difficulties, and behavioral changes. PSP is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease due to overlapping symptoms but lacks the significant tremors. Currently, there is no cure, and treatment focuses on symptom management and supportive care.Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is characterized by early postural instability, frequent falls, and difficulty with voluntary eye movements, especially looking down. Other symptoms include stiffness, slurred speech, swallowing difficulties, and a slow, stiff gait. Cognitive changes, such as apathy and impaired judgment, may also occur. Unlike Parkinson's, PSP lacks significant tremors and is resistant to dopaminergic therapy. PSP affects approximately 3-6 people per 100,000, typically after the age of 60. It is caused by abnormal deposits of tau protein in the brain, leading to neurodegeneration. PSP is characterized by difficulty with vertical eye movements, frequent falls, postural instability, and stiffness. It is often mistaken for Parkinson's disease or other neurological disorders due to overlapping symptoms. Current treatments focus on symptom management, including medications, therapy, and supportive care.
Certain factors may increase your risk of developing Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. These include genetic predisposition mutations or variations in the MAPT gene, which codes for the tau protein, may increase the risk. PSP typically occurs in individuals over the age of 60.Some studies suggest that exposure to certain toxins or chemicals may play a role, though evidence is limited. PSP is slightly more common in men than in women. Abnormal accumulation of tau protein in the brain is a hallmark, though the triggers for this dysfunction are unclear. The diagnosis of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is primarily clinical, based on a detailed medical history, symptom evaluation, and neurological examination. Key diagnostic features include difficulty with vertical eye movements, frequent falls, postural instability, and progressive stiffness. Brain imaging, such as MRI, may show midbrain atrophy (the 'hummingbird sign') and exclude other conditions. Genetic testing for MAPT mutations may be considered in rare cases. Since no definitive test exists, PSP is often misdiagnosed, particularly in its early stages.
There is no cure for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), and treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Medications like levodopa may provide limited relief for stiffness and slowness, but their effects are often temporary. Physical and occupational therapy can help improve mobility, balance, and daily functioning. Speech therapy is beneficial for addressing speech and swallowing difficulties. Assistive devices, such as walkers and glasses with prisms, may aid in mobility and vision. Supportive care, including counseling and nutritional management, is essential as the disease progresses.

This segment of the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, II/III I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Emerging Drugs
AMX0035: Amylyx Pharmaceuticals
AMX0035 is an oral, fixed-dose combination of sodium phenylbutyrate (PB) and taurursodiol (TURSO; also known as ursodoxicoltaurine outside of the U.S.). AMX0035 was designed to slow or mitigate neurodegeneration by targeting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, two connected central pathways that lead to cell death and neurodegeneration. We believe that our proprietary combination of PB and TURSO and their complementary mechanisms of action will allow us to synergistically target abnormal cell death to better prevent neurodegeneration than treatment targeted at either mechanism of action alone. AMX0035 is being studied as a potential treatment for Wolfram syndrome and progressive supranuclear palsy, two neurodegenerative diseases. The drug is currently being investigated in the Phase II/III stage of development for the treatment of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.TPN-101: Transposon Therapeutics, Inc.
TPN-101 specifically inhibits the LINE-1 reverse transcriptase that promotes LINE-1 replication. LINE-1 elements are a class of retrotransposable elements that in humans are uniquely capable of replicating and moving to new locations within the genome. When this process becomes dysregulated, LINE-1 reverse transcriptase drives overproduction of LINE-1 DNA, triggering innate immune responses that contribute to neurodegenerative, autoimmune and aging-related disease pathology. Currently, the drug is in the Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of progressive supranuclear palsy.Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: Therapeutic Assessment
