Vaccines that target α-synuclein have a lot of potential for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies. Tridem Bioscience GmbH & Co. KG has developed the proprietary WISIT vaccine technology.
After many years of testing different monoclonal antibodies against amyloid-β protein, the results obtained are far from being outstanding, and the control of the progression and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains elusive. At the recent AD/PD 2024 conference held in Lisbon, new non-anti-amyloidogenic strategies in the starting line against AD were discussed. Professor Einar Sigurdsson from New York University gave a presentation entitled, “Single domain antibodies for therapy and diagnosis of synucleinopathies and tauopathies.”

Promis Neurosciences Inc. has selected a lead vaccine candidate, PMN-400, against synucleinopathies, including multiple system atrophy, Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia.
Investigators have developed a new approach to classifying neurodegenerative disorders that used the overall patterns of protein aggregation, rather than specific proteins, to define six clusters of patients that crossed traditional diagnostic categories.
