Prothena Corporation plc Announces Novo Nordisk Obtains Fast Track Designation for Coramitug in ATTR Amyloidosis with Cardiomyopathy Prothena Corporation plc announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation to coramitug, a potential best-in-class amyloid depleter antibody currently in Phase 3 development for the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Fast Track Designation is intended to facilitate the development and expedite the review of investigational drugs that treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. Coramitug is a potential best-in-class amyloid depleter antibody for the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy. Coramitug is being evaluated by Novo Nordisk in the ongoing Phase 3 CLEOPATTRA clinical trial in approximately 1,280 participants with ATTR-CM; primary completion expected in 2029. ATTR-CM is a progressive disease caused by the deposition of transthyretin as amyloid in the myocardium. Current therapies may slow disease progression but do not clear existing deposits. Coramitug is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets misfolded transthyretin, designed to promote clearance of transthyretin amyloid through antibody-mediated phagocytosis. Novo Nordisk is evaluating coramitug in the ongoing Phase 3 CLEOPATTRA clinical trial in approximately 1,280 participants with ATTR-CM with primary completion expected in 2029. Novo Nordisk gained full worldwide rights to the intellectual property and related rights of the ATTR amyloidosis business and pipeline it acquired from Prothena in July 2021. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Prothena is eligible to receive up to $1,200 million including an upfront payment and upon achievement of clinical development and sales milestones, with $150 million earned to date. Coramitug is an investigational antibody designed to deplete amyloid associated with disease pathology in hereditary and wild type ATTR amyloidosis, without affecting the native, normal tetrameric form of the protein. Coramitug’s proposed mechanism of action is to deplete both the deposited amyloid to improve organ function and circulating non-native TTR to prevent further organ deposition. This differentiated depleter mechanism of action could be developed as a monotherapy approach to ATTR amyloidosis and might also complement existing therapeutic approaches which either stabilize or reduce production of the native TTR tetramer. In a Phase 2 clinical trial conducted by Novo Nordisk, coramitug 60 mg/kg significantly reduced and improved NT-proBNP from baseline, in a patient population in which the vast majority (>80%) were already receiving standard of care treatment for ATTR-CM. Furthermore, compared with placebo, coramitug was associated with improvements in multiple echocardiographic parameters of cardiac function, and was well-tolerated in participants with ATTR-CM. These findings support the potential of coramitug as an amyloid-clearing immunotherapy for ATTR-CM and provide a rationale for additional clinical investigation of coramitug for the treatment of patients with ATTR-CM.

Prothena Corporation plc Announces Poster Presentation on its TDP-43 CYTOPE Program At Neuroscience 2025 Prothena Corporation plc announced a scientific presentation at Neuroscience 2025, hosted by the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) in San Diego, CA. CYTOPE is a novel drug delivery modality enabling cytosolic delivery of macromolecules in the brain and periphery through an efficient endosomal escape mechanism that preserves membrane and vesicle integrity following systemic administration. This technology potentially allows for targeting of previously undruggable intracellular disease targets. To demonstrate this, the company developed and investigated company developed and investigated company TDP-43 program in multiple preclinical models. Preclinical data from in vivo transgenic mouse model of ALS expressing human mutant TDP-43: Systemically-administered TDP-43 CYTOPE rapidly and efficiently distributed to the brain, internalized into the cytosol and colocalized with intracellular pTDP-43 pathology in rNLS8 mice Systemically-administered T DP-43 CYTOPE significantly reduced intracellular pTDP -43 pathology in rNLS 8 mice; Systemically-administering TDP-43 CYTope significantly reduced intracellular p TDP-43 pathology in r NLS8 mouse motor cortex and neuromuscular junction. Preclinical in vitro data from rat and human-derived neuronal cell lines and human iPSC motor neurons: TDP-43 CYT EUR rapidly and efficiently internalized into the cytosOL and colocalized with pre-formed cytosolic pTDP-43 aggregates; TDP-43 CYTOP promoted significant clearance of cytosolic pTDP -43 aggregates and meaningfully reduced RNA dysregulation driven by cryptic exon inclusions, defining pathogenic features of ALS and other TDP-43 proteinopathies. These results demonstrate the potential of CYTOPE technology as a novel modality for delivering large molecules into cells, enabling precise targeting of intracellular disease pathways.

Prothena Corporation plc Provides Update on PRX012 and Announces Results from the Phase 1 ASCENT Clinical Program Prothena Corporation plc announced results from the Phase 1 ASCENT clinical program in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease (AD). As previously communicated, Prothena plans to explore potential partnership interest to advance PRX012 and its preclinical PRX012-TfR (transferrin receptor) antibody. The Phase 1 ASCENT clinical program results demonstrated PRX012 as a potential once-monthly, subcutaneous anti-amyloid beta (Ab) antibody with stable pharmacokinetics, low anti-drug antibodies, low injection site reactions, and dose- and time-dependent reductions in amyloid plaque. At the 400 mg dose level, PRX012 demonstrated a mean reduction in amyloid PET to 27.47 centiloids (CL) at month 12; FDA approved anti-Ab antibodies have defined amyloid negativity thresholds of 30 CL or 24.1 CL. However, PRX012 was associated with higher overall ARIA-E rates relative to FDA approved anti-Ab antibodies, making PRX012 less appropriate for the patients studied in the ASCENT clinical program. When ARIA-E did occur, the characteristics were similar to those reported following treatment with other anti-Ab antibodies. Based on the profile observed in the ASCENT clinical program and feasibility work already completed on its preclinical Ab-transferrin receptor antibody surrogate, Prothena believes this approach may represent an opportunity to significantly lower the risk of ARIA and quickly reduce amyloid plaque with a once-monthly subcutaneous administration. Initial preclinical studies have demonstrated substantially increased brain exposure and facilitated rapid targeting of Ab plaques in an APP/PS1 transgenic mouse model. Prothena does not plan to publicly share additional data from the ASCENT clinical program while it expects to explore potential partnership interest to advanced PRX012 and PRX012-Tf R. The Phase 1 ASCENT Clinical program includes ASCENT-1: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single-ascending-dose trial; ASCENT-2: a randomized, double- blind, placebo-controlled six-month multiple-dose trial; and ASCENT-3: a twelve-month open-label extension trial. The objectives of the ASCENT clinical program were to determine the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of PRX012. The ASCENT-2 and ASCENT-3 trials also evaluated the pharmacodynamics of PRX012, including amyloid plaque deposition as measured by positron emission tomography (PET), in participants with early symptomatic AD. The results include data from the five ASCENT-2 Group A cohorts in 228 participants with early symptomatic AD who are either APOe4 non-carriers or heterozygous carriers ranging in doses of PRX012 from 45 mg to 400 mg, randomized to PRX012 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. Additional amyloid plaque reduction data from an interim read-out of ASCENT-3, the open-label extension (OLE) trial, was included.

Roche's Phase IIb Study of Prasinezumab Missed Primary Endpoint, But Suggests Possible Clinical Benefit in Early-Stage Parkinson's Disease Prothena Corporation plc announced results from the Phase IIb PADOVA study conducted by partner Roche investigating prasinezumab in 586 people with early-stage Parkinson's disease, treated for a minimum of 18 months while on stable symptomatic treatment. Prasinezumab showed potential clinical effect in the primary endpoint of time to confirmed motor progression with a HR=0.84 [0.69-1.01] and p=0.0657. The effect of prasinezumab was more pronounced in a pre-specified analysis in the population treated with levodopa (75% of participants), HR=0.79 [0.63-0.99] and nominal p=0.0431. Pre-specified supplemental analyses of these endpoints demonstrated nominally significant effects on the primary endpoint (HR=0.81 [0.67-0.98; nominal p=0.0334) and in the levodopa subgroup (HR=0.76 [0.61-0.95; nominal p=0.0175). Consistent positive trends across multiple secondary and exploratory endpoints were also observed. Prasinezumab continues to be well tolerated and no new safety signals were observed in the study. The Phase IIb PADOVA results along with prior clinical study results will inform future clinical development, including study design, statistical analysis, and appropriate evaluation of patient sub-groups, of prasinezumab as a potential first-in-class disease-modifying treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease. The Phase II PASADENA and Phase IIb PADOVA open-label extension studies will continue in order to explore the observed effects in both studies. Roche will continue to evaluate the data and work together with health authorities to determine next steps. Full results from the PADOVA study will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting. Prasinezumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody designed to selectively bind aggregated a-syn and reduce neuronal toxicity. Parkinson's disease is characterized by the gradual loss of neurons that make dopamine and other nerve cells, and the development of motor and non-motor symptoms that may appear years before diagnosis. Symptoms can vary widely between individuals and disease progression is not predictable, in which symptoms can develop gradually over time or suddenly. Clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is late in the disease course and currently based only on motor symptoms, with non-motor symptoms often preceding diagnosis by up to 20 years.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.2% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.2% per year for the foreseeable future.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.9% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.9% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$152m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.0% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (11% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Nov 03

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.1% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$163m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.1% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (14% increase in shares outstanding). Annuncio • Oct 18

Prothena Corporation plc Presents New Research in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease At Alzheimer's Association International Conference®? 2023 Prothena Corporation plc shared data on three investigational product programs for the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease, PRX005, PRX012 and PRX123, at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference®? 2023 (AAIC®?) being held July 16-20, 2023 in Amsterdam, Netherlands and virtually. PRX005 Phase 1 Clinical Trial, Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Portion: Prothena: PRX005, A Novel Anti-MTBR Tau Humanized Monoclonal Antibody: Results from the Single Ascending Dose Portion of a First-in-Human Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 1 Clinical Trial: The results of the Phase 1 clinical trial SAD portion showed that all three dose level cohorts (low, medium, high) of PRX005 were considered generally safe and well tolerated, meeting the Phase 1 clinical trial S AD portion primary objective and supporting evaluation of doses in the MAD portion of the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial. PRX005 also met key pharmacokinetic (PK) and immunogenicity secondary endpoints. Plasma drug concentrations of PRX005 increased in a dose-proportional manner. As planned, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) drug levels were measured in the high dose cohort and reached sufficient CSF concentrations to predict pharmacological targeting of MTBR tau in the central nervous system (CNS) (day 29 CSF:plasma ratio=0.2%). On July 10, 2023, Prothena announced that Bristol Myers Squibb exercised its $55 million option under the global neuroscience research and development collaboration to obtain the exclusive worldwide commercial rights for PRX005. PRX123, a potential first-in-class investigational dual Ab/tau vaccine designed for the treatment and prevention of disease, is a dual-target vaccine targeting key epitopes within the N-terminus of Ab and MTBR-tau to simultaneously promote amyloid clearance and blockade of pathogenic tau. PRX012, an investigational next-generation anti-Ab antibody, was designed as a subcutaneous IgG1 mAb to target aggregated forms of Ab, including protofibrils and plaques, with high binding affinity. PRX012 is currently being investigated in a Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Preclinical data have demonstrated binding of PRX012 to beta amyloid plaques and oligomers with high affinity, allowing effective Aß plaque occupancy and removal at relatively lower dose ranges, optimal for subcutaneous delivery. Preclinical data have also demonstrated clearance of both pyroglutamate modified and unmodified Aß plaque in brain tissue at concentrations of PRX012 estimated to be clinically achievable in the central nervous system with subcutaneous delivery.

Prothena Corporation plc Reports Topline Phase 1 Single Ascending Dose Study Results of PRX005 Prothena Corporation plc announced positive topline Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) study results for PRX005, a potentially best-in-class investigational tri-epitopic antibody for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease that specifically binds with high affinity to the R1, R2, and R3 repeats within the microtubule binding region (MTBR) of tau and targets both 3R and 4R tau isoforms. PRX005 is one of three programs in the global neuroscience research and development collaboration between Prothena and Bristol Myers Squibb. In this first-in-human, randomized, placebo controlled, SAD study, healthy volunteers (n=19) were enrolled into three PRX005 dose level cohorts (low, medium or high dose) and randomized in a 3:1 drug to placebo ratio. Study participants received a single dose of PRX0005 or placebo intravenously (IV) and were followed for up to two months. The results of the study found all three dose level cohorts of PRX005 to be generally safe and well tolerated, meeting the Phase 1 SAD study primary objective. None of the treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) were serious. No clinically relevant changes were observed in other safety parameters. PRX005 also met key pharmacokinetic (PK) and immunogenicity secondary endpoints. Plasma drug concentrations of PRX005 increased in a dose-proportional manner. Furthermore, PRX005 exposure in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was measured in the high dose cohort and based on the robust exposure of PRX005 in the CSF (day 29 CSF:Plasma ratio=0.2%), substantial target engagement is expected in the CNS. PRX005 had a desirable immunogenicity profile with no persistent PRX005-induced antidrug antibodies (ADAs) observed. Prothena plans to present results from the Phase 1 SAD study at an upcoming medical conference. These results support the ongoing Phase 1 MAD trial of PRX005 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Topline results from the Phase 1 MAD trial are expected by year end 2023. Tau is a microtubule associated protein, which aggregates and hyper-phosphorylates in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease to form pathological neurofibrillary tangles. Tau tangles, along with amyloid beta plaques represent the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. The presence of tau pathology strongly correlates with neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s disease and its pattern of progression throughout the brain suggests that tau pathology spreads through anatomically connected pathways through cell-to-cell transmission, a hypothesis supported by multiple preclinical studies. This propagation of pathology is thought to be mediated by MTBR-tau “seeds”. PRX005 has demonstrated superior ability to bind, intercept and block cellular internalization of pathogenic tau, and mitigate downstream neurotoxicity compared to other anti-tau antibodies in multiple preclinical studies. PRX005 is designed to be a best-in-class anti-tau antibody that specifically binds with high affinity the R1, R2, and R3 repeats within the MTBR of tau and targets both 3R and 4R tau isoforms. MTBR tau has been shown in preclinical studies to be involved in the pathological spread of tau. Neurofibrillary tangles composed of misfolded tau proteins, along with amyloid beta plaques, are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. Cell-to-cell transmission of pathogenic extracellular tau and the accumulation of pathogenic tau also correlate with the progression of symptomatology and clinical decline in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Recent publications suggest that during the course of Alzheimer’s disease progression, tau appears to spread throughout the brain via synaptically-connected pathways; this propagation of pathology is thought to be mediated by tau “seeds” containing the MTBR of tau. Additionally, it has been recently reported that the presence of MTBR fragments in cerebrospinal fluid correlate with dementia stages and tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease to a higher degree than fragments of other tau regions. In preclinical research, antibodies targeting this region of tau were superior in blocking tau uptake and neurotoxicity, which has been associated with efficacy in Alzheimer’s disease animal models. In these preclinical models, PRX005 demonstrated significant reduction of intraneuronal tau pathology and protection against behavioral deficit in a tau transgenic mouse model and complete blockade of neuronal tau internalization in vitro. Alzheimer’s disease is a fatal disease and the most common form of dementia causing increasingly serious symptoms, including confusion, disorientation, mood and behavioral changes, and difficulty speaking, swallowing, and walking. Approximately 50 million people worldwide are estimated to be living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. There is an urgent need for therapies that slow the progression and ultimately prevent Alzheimer’s disease to address this global healthcare crisis. Prothena’s Alzheimer’s disease portfolio spans next generation antibody immunotherapy, small molecule, and vaccine approaches, all geared toward building upon first generation treatments to advance the treatment paradigm.

Prothena Corporation plc Presents Data Demonstrating Consistent Survival Benefit Observed with Birtamimab in Mayo Stage IV AL Amyloidosis Patients in Phase 3 VITAL Study at ASH 2022 Prothena Corporation plc presented data from the completed phase 3 VITAL study demonstrating that in a post hoc analysis of patients with Mayo Stage IV AL amyloidosis, a statistically significant survival benefit was observed in those treated with birtamimab at 9 months. The survival benefit of birtamimab in VITAL remained consistent across all key baseline variables in patients with Mayo Stage IV AL amyloidosis. The data were presented in an oral presentation at the 64th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition in New Orleans, LA. Birtamimab is a potential best-in-class amyloid depleter treatment for AL amyloidosis. Based on the totality of the VITAL study data, Prothena has advanced birtamimab into the confirmatory Phase 3 AFFIRM-AL study in patients with Mayo Stage IV AL amyloidosis under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with the U.S. FDA with a primary endpoint of all-cause mortality at p<=0.10. Confirmatory Phase 3 AFFIRM-AL topline data is expected in 2024. A post hoc analysis of patients with Mayo Stage IV AL amyloidosis showed a statistically significant survival benefit of 74 percent in patients treated with birtamimab versus a survival benefit of 49% in patients on placebo at 9 months (HR 0.413, p=0.021). The survival benefit of birtamimab in VITAL remained consistent across all key baseline variables in Mayo Stage IV patients, reinforcing the strength of the survival data in these patients at high risk of early mortality. The significant and consistent survival benefits of birtamimab in the VITAL study's post hoc analysis of patients with Mayo Stage IV AL amyloidosis offers hope that the removal of amyloid deposits leads to a survival benefit and affirms the potential of birtamimab as a safe, well-tolerated and meaningful therapy. The sensitivity analysis was performed as part of the post hoc analysis of patients with Mayo Stage IV AL amyloidosis. After adjusting for baseline demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables, the adjusted hazard ratios ranged from 0.336 to 0.465, with no upper bounds of the 90% confidence interval crossing 1, indicating a consistent survival benefit with birtamimab at 9 months. Birtamimab also demonstrated statistically significant improvement over placebo in post hoc analyses of quality of life (assessed with the Short Form-36 version 2 physical component score, SF-36v2 PCS) and cardiac function (assessed with the 6-minute walk test). Patients treated with birtamimab showed a mean difference of 4.65 in the SF-36v2 PCS over placebo at 9 months (p=0.046). Mayo Stage IV patients treated with birtamimab after 9 months demonstrated an increase of 15.22 meters in the 6-minute walk test, whereas patients treated with placebo had a decrease of 21.15 meters (a difference of 36.37; p=0.022). Birtamimab was generally safe and well tolerated in the overall patient population and in Mayo Stage IV patients. The rates of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were balanced between treatment arms. The rates of treatment related TEAEs were similar or lower with birtamimab than in the placebo arm of both the overall population and in Mayo Stage IV patients. Consistent with AL amyloidosis, cardiac disorder was the most common class of fatal TEAEs. There were no fatal TEAEs that were considered treatment related. VITAL was a phase 3 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of birtamimab plus standard of care versus placebo plus standard of care in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve patients with AL amyloidosis. The study was terminated early based on a futility analysis. The primary endpoint in the full study population was the composite of time to all-cause mortality and cardiac hospitalization in patients with AL amyloidosis. The primary endpoint in the overall study population favored birtamimab over placebo, but the difference was not statistically significant at the time of early study termination. The primary study population included 260 patients with AL amyloidosis, of which patients who received birtamimab and placebo were evenly split. Approximately one-third of patients in the study had Mayo Stage IV AL amyloidosis (n=77). Patient demographics were generally balanced between the birtamimab and placebo groups in the study population and the Mayo Stage IV sub population. Birtamimab is an investigational monoclonal antibody designed to specifically and selectively target and clear the amyloid that accumulates and causes organ dysfunction and failure in patients with AL amyloidosis. Birtamimab specifically binds to a defined epitope on kappa and lambda AL protein involved in the disease process. Birtamimab is the only investigational therapeutic that has shown a significant survival benefit in patients with Mayo Stage IV AL amyloidosis post-hoc in a placebo-controlled study. Birtamimab has been granted orphan drug designation for AL Amyloidosis by both the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency and has been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA. A SPA was agreed to between Prothena and the FDA for the AFFIRM-AL trial which represents FDA's agreement that the design and planned analysis for the primary endpoint of time to all-cause mortality adequately address the objectives necessary to support a regulatory submission. Results from the AFFIRM-AL trial are anticipated in 2024. Final marketing approval is predicated upon FDA's complete review of the entire application. Reported Earnings • Nov 05

Prothena Corporation plc Announces U.S. Food and Drug Administration Clearance of IND for PRX012, A Subcutaneous Anti-Amyloid Beta Antibody Under Investigation for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease Prothena Corporation plc announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the investigational new drug application for PRX012, a potential best-in-class anti-amyloid beta (Aß) antibody in development for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Prothena has initiated the Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) study to investigate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics of PRX012 in both healthy volunteers and patients with AD. Prothena expects to initiate the Phase 1 multiple ascending dose study by year-end 2022. PRX012 is a next-generation, high binding potency antibody, designed to enable subcutaneous dosing on a patient-friendly, convenient administration schedule, potentially providing greater accessibility for patients and caregivers. Preclinical data have shown that PRX012 binds to beta amyloid plaques and oligomers with high avidity, enabling effective levels of Aß plaque occupancy at relatively lower dose ranges, which are optimal for subcutaneous delivery. Additional preclinical data demonstrated clearance of both pyroglutamate modified and unmodified Aß plaque in brain tissue at concentrations of PRX012 estimated to be clinically achievable in the central nervous system with subcutaneous delivery. Compared to first generation anti-Aß antibodies, PRX012 is expected to result in less variance of antibody concentrations in the brain. About the Phase 1 SAD Study for PRX012. The Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) study of PRX012 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers and patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

Prothena Corporation plc Announces Promising New Preclinical and Clinical Data from Its Neurodegenerative Programs Selected for Oral Presentations At AD/PD 2021 Prothena Corporation plc announced three oral presentations and participation in a live forum at The 15thInternational Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases (AD/PD 2021). Prothena will present new preclinical data demonstrating that targeting a novel epitope with PRX005, an anti-tau antibody, resulted in superior attributes for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. PRX005 is being developed as part of the Company’s global neuroscience collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb. In addition, Roche will present new pre-specified exploratory subgroup analyses from Part 1 of the Phase 2 PASADENA study of prasinezumab in patients with early Parkinson’s disease and, separately, new digital biomarker data from its remote monitoring technology used in the study. Prasinezumab is being developed as part of the Company’s worldwide collaboration with Roche. Neurofibrillary tangles composed of misfolded tau proteins, along with A plaques, are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. Antibodies targeting various tau epitopes are currently being investigated for their ability to disrupt this pathogenic process and treat Alzheimer’s disease. Preclinical research indicates that antibodies developed to target key epitopes within the microtubule binding region (MTBR) of tau may result in superior attributes. Prothena has employed its unbiased epitope mapping and selection strategy to define this critical region of the tau protein involved in the pathological spread in Alzheimer’s disease. Antibodies targeting epitopes along the tau protein were developed and tested in a variety of in vitro and in vivo models. Among these, the murine precursor of PRX005, an antibody targeting an epitope within the MTBR of tau, demonstrated significant inhibition of cell-to-cell transmission and neuronal internalization in vitro and in vivo, and slowed pathological progression in a tau transgenic mouse model. New pre-specified exploratory subgroup analyses from the PASADENA study as well as results from the digital biomarker mobile application used in PASADENA to continuously monitor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease will be presented by Roche at AD/PD.

Prothena Corporation plc Announces Confirmatory Phase 3 AFFIRM-AL Study of Birtamimab in Mayo Stage IV Patients with AL Amyloidosis under SPA Agreement with FDA Prothena Corporation plc announced that following further analyses by the Company and multiple in-depth discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the previous analysis of patients categorized as Mayo Stage IV at baseline in the VITAL study, Prothena is advancing birtamimab into the confirmatory Phase 3 AFFIRM-AL study in this category of patients with AL amyloidosis. This registration-enabling study will be conducted with a primary endpoint of all-cause mortality at p<0.10 under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with FDA. Birtamimab is the only investigational therapeutic that has shown a significant survival benefit in Mayo Stage IV patients with AL amyloidosis in a placebo-controlled study, with 74% of birtamimab-treated patients alive at 9 months versus 49% of patients in the control group in VITAL (hazard ratio (HR)=0.413, p=0.025, over 9 months). AFFIRM-AL is expected to initiate mid-2021. The significant survival benefit observed in VITAL with birtamimab was further supported by evidence of clinical benefit on secondary endpoints, including significant changes observed on both the Short Form-36 version 2 Physical Component Score (SF-36v2 PCS), a measure of quality of life (p=0.026), and 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) distance, an assessment of functional capacity (p=0.046).
