Differential effects of sex on amyloid lowering by Aducanumab and IgG in 5xFAD mice

Sex-dependent differential clearance of amyloid plaques with monoclonal antibody treatment has been observed translationally across species. The interaction with IgG may contribute to both the amyloid-lowering effects and possibly to the reported adverse events. Results from this study will inform future MODEL-AD PTC evaluations of novel therapeutics, particularly those combined with or following anti-Aβ immunotherapies once amyloid is lowered and the disease continues to progress, and importantly to identify and predict differential effects of sex.

Abstract

Sex-dependent differential clearance of amyloid plaques with monoclonal antibody treatment has been observed translationally across species. The interaction with IgG may contribute to both the amyloid-lowering effects and possibly to the reported adverse events. Results from this study will inform future MODEL-AD PTC evaluations of novel therapeutics, particularly those combined with or following anti-Aβ immunotherapies once amyloid is lowered and the disease continues to progress, and importantly to identify and predict differential effects of sex.
