(Nasdaq: PMN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics that selectively target toxic misfolded proteins in neurodegenerative diseases, today announced positive blinded six-month interim safety and biomarker results from PRECISE-AD, the Phase 1b trial of its lead drug candidate, PMN310, in patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease or mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the blinded interim analysis evaluating 136 AD patients, PMN310 was observed to have a favorable safety profile across all genotypes, with no cases of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities-edema (ARIA-E) reported as of the data cutoff date, and early, directionally consistent movement in disease-relevant biomarkers potentially reflective of the randomization pattern. The trial remains blinded and ongoing with topline 12-month results expected in the first quarter of 2027. Interim Highlights <ul type="disc"><li>Favorable safety profile across all genotypes: No ARIA-E and 4.4% total ARIA (all mild and asymptomatic, consisting of only amyloid-related imaging abnormalities-microhemorrhages (ARIA-H)), with no treatment-related serious adverse events and no drug-related discontinuations at the interim. </li><li>Same profile in high-risk APOE4 carriers: No ARIA-E observed in any genotype in a population that included 61% APOE4 carriers, of which 11% were homozygotes, a group underserved by approved amyloid-directed therapies. </li><li>Early biomarker movement consistent with target engagement: On a blinded basis, a majority of patients showed reductions in disease-relevant biomarkers against expected increases in natural-history trajectories: 68.5% of patients had a decline from baseline (change ≤ 0) in plasma pTau217 and 62.5% had a decline in CSF MTBR-tau243, consistent with a potential beneficial drug effect and potentially reflective of the trial’s 3:1 active-to-placebo randomization. These are blinded interim biomarker observations, meaning treatment allocations between drug and placebo groups are not known at this time. These observed biomarker trends are not a determination of efficacy, and trends in biomarkers may not ultimately be reflective of clinical effects. </li><li>Differentiated, oligomer-selective mechanism: PMN310 is designed to selectively bind toxic amyloid-beta oligomers while avoiding plaque, a mechanism intended to decouple potential efficacy from ARIA risk. </li><li>Clear path forward: Unblinded 12-month topline data expected Q1 2027, including efficacy data.</li></ul> “These interim data reinforce our central thesis: by selectively targeting toxic oligomers, PMN310 has the potential to deliver the benefits of amyloid-directed therapy without the ARIA burden that has constrained this class of drugs,” said Neil Warma, Chief Executive Officer of ProMIS Neurosciences. “The absence of ARIA-E, an overall favorable safety profile, and early biomarker movement together align with our expectations based on our prior studies. We look forward to our 12-month topline readout in the first quarter of 2027.” Dr. Will Mantyh, a behavioral neurologist at the University of Minnesota, said, “In real-world practice, ARIA risk is the central prescribing barrier: clinicians, patients, and health systems must contend with the issues of safety monitoring, identification, and sometimes emergent neurological treatment of ARIA. A profile with low incidence of total ARIA, including no ARIA-E, would be a game-changer. Just as importantly, plasma pTau217 and CSF MTBR-tau243 are among the most informative fluid biomarkers we have for tracking Alzheimer’s biology; seeing early, coherent movement in both is highly encouraging before a definitive readout.” ProMIS will host a live webinar today to discuss these results.  Webinar Details Date: July 28, 2026 Time: 8:00–9:00 a.m. ET Speakers (ProMIS): Neil Warma, Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Larry Altstiel, Chief Medical Officer Featured Key Opinion Leaders: Dr. Will Mantyh and Dr. Michael Weiner Registration: <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=cSGjdl9rLFpMhBjTYkzADOTNbcUuzmXR6Axr8MUayti1ie-r_boC5aQIDd8mJvlQt8AZZ4Q0oSpXPsLJj0QknRATG1hfqP0GS-b9kOAhtUsdtFJDbONYMIhAqAp-IXjk-U2vD7UfJrAKtThS_x__Pw==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">https://lifescievents.com/event/it38tlq/</a>   About PMN310 and the PRECISE-AD Trial for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) PMN310, ProMIS’ lead product candidate for the treatment of AD, is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to selectively target only the toxic oligomers of amyloid-beta (AβOs), believed to be among the earliest and most damaging drivers of Alzheimer’s disease, while avoiding binding to amyloid plaques and vascular deposits. This selectivity may reduce or eliminate the risk of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), including brain swelling (ARIA-E) and microhemorrhages (ARIA-H), which are commonly associated with plaque-binding antibodies. PMN310 was granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July 2025. Based on encouraging results from a Phase 1a trial (NCT06105528) in healthy volunteers, ProMIS initiated the PRECISE-AD Phase 1b trial to evaluate PMN310 in patients with mild cognitive impairment due to AD or mild AD. PRECISE-AD (NCT06750432) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of multiple ascending doses (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) of intravenous PMN310. The study has completed enrollment of 144 participants across the three dosing cohorts who are being treated for twelve months. It is designed to provide meaningful insight into the effects of PMN310 on biomarkers and clinical outcomes. About ProMIS Neurosciences Inc.
