BMS-986446 (PRX005): Potential best-in-class antibody to
slow or halt the progression of Alzheimer's Disease
The propagation of Tau pathology as Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
progresses is thought to be mediated by Tau "seeds"
containing the MTBR region of tau¹
Tau, not Ab, deposition correlates with age of AD onset,
disease duration, and cognitive impairment¹
• A Tau fragment (MTBR-Tau 243) has recently been shown to
correlate well with tau accumulation as measured by Tau-
PET imaging and cognitive impairment³
BMS-986446 targets MTBR-Tau 243 and binds with high
affinity to both the 3R and 4R isoforms of tau4,5
