Down syndrome Understanding

Down syndrome: Overview

Down syndrome is a chromosome disorder associated with intellectual disability, a characteristic facial appearance, with small nose and an upward slant to the eyes, and low muscle tone in infancy. The degree of intellectual disability varies from mild to moderate. People with Down syndrome may also be born with various health concerns such as heart defects or digestive abnormalities, as well as short stature and a single deep crease across the center of the palm. They also have an increased risk to develop gastroesophageal reflux, celiac disease, hypothyroidism, hearing and vision problems, leukemia, and Alzheimer disease. Down syndrome is caused by having three copies of chromosome 21 (called trisomy 21) instead of the usual two copies and is typically not inherited. Treatment focuses on the specific symptoms in each person. There is ongoing research about the specific genes causing the disease aiming to find more effective treatments.

Down syndrome Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Down syndrome report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, 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.

Down syndrome Emerging Drugs

ACI-24: AC Immune SAACI-24 is an active vaccine stimulating the patient's immune system to produce betasheet conformation-specific antibodies that prevent plaque deposition or enhance clearance of plaques. During preclinical development, the ACI-24 has shown high efficacy in vivo by memory restoration and plaque reduction. The vaccine is also characterized by a very high specificity due to generating a conformation-specific antibody response. The favourable safety profile of ACI-24 is underlined through the absence of local inflammation in relevant models as well as its T-cell independent mechanism shown in preclinical development.

AEF0217: Aelis FarmaAEF0217 is the second drug candidate developed by Aelis Farma. It is specifically designed for the treatment of cognitive deficits.

AEF0217's major characteristics:

• High potency in reversing cognitive deficits in validated translational models of Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome and aging related cognitive impairments.
• No identifiable behavioral side effects even in fragile trisomic and aged mice.
• Very favorable ADMET profile, with good oral absorption, brain access, long half-life and a good tolerability (therapeutic index = 640).
