About Exidavnemab
Exidavnemab is a monoclonal antibody drug candidate that is designed to selectively bind and eliminate pathological aggregated forms of alpha-synuclein such as oligomers and protofibrils as well as fibrillar forms, all of which are believed to play a role in neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease. The goal is to develop a disease modifying treatment that stops or slows down the progression of Parkinson's disease or other synucleinopathies. 

About BioArctic AB
BioArctic AB (publ) is a Swedish research-based biopharma company focusing on innovative treatments that can delay or stop the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Leqembi has been developed together with BioArctic's partner Eisai, who are responsible for regulatory interactions and commercialization globally. In addition to Leqembi, BioArctic has a broad research portfolio with antibodies against Parkinson's disease and ALS as well as additional projects against Alzheimer's disease. Several of the projects utilize the company's proprietary BrainTransporter™ technology, which has the potential to actively transport antibodies across the blood-brain barrier to enhance the efficacy of the treatment.
