DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Investigational Safety and Toxicity Studies of Subcutaneous COG1410 for Alzheimer's Disease: A Therapeutic Based upon Apolipoprotein-E That is Not Targeted to Amyloid-Beta Background on Alzheimer's Disease: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia and 6th leading cause of death, affecting 5.4 million American patients and their 13 million caregivers. Unlike stroke, heart disease and other diseases whose deaths have been decreasing in recent years, from 2000 to 2006, there was a 47% increase in deaths from AD. This increase shows no signs of stopping as the population of the US age 65 and older is projected to rise from 36 million in 2005 to 87 million by 2050, with a parallel rise in AD patients to 16 million by 2050. Medicare and Medicaid spend $148 Billion or about 20% of their combined programs on the care of AD patients, as there is no effective treatment, and family caregivers spent at least $94 Billion more on caring for relatives with AD. These data strongly support the enormous need to develop an effective anti-Alzheimer's therapeutic to not only reduce pain and suffering of patients and their families, but to also decrease the rapidly growing private and public debts incurred in providing healthcare for these Alzheimer's patients. Application of COG1410 to Alzheimer's Disease: Cognosci has developed an innovative series of neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory "COG" compounds, including COG1410, which are based upon the structure and activity of apolipoprotein-E-3. Our peer-reviewed publications show that these COG compounds specifically bind to SET, a known inhibitor of Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A). The formation of COG/SET complexes reduces SET's inhibitory action on PP2A thus permitting a re-activation so that levels of PP2A phosphatase activity increase in "COG" treated cells or animals (Christensen et al. 2011). While PP2A accounts for 70% of all phosphatase activity in the brain, the literature reports that SET levels are significantly increased in AD brains compared to age-matched healthy controls; and that the levels of PP2A phosphatase activity are significantly decreased in AD brains compared to age-matched healthy controls. To regain a healthy balance of SET and PP2A activities in the AD brain, we propose that adding COG1410 will antagonize SET thereby permitting levels of PP2A enzyme activity to increase to healthy levels and to restore the brain to normal. Using our CVN-Alzheimer's mice, we demonstrated that subcutaneous administration of COG1410 resulted in decreased phospho-tau/neurofibrillary tangle-like pathology, decreased amyloid plaque-like pathology, and significantly improved learning and memory behaviors (Vitek et al. 2012a, Vitek et al. 2012b). Additional data provided in this application show that all of these COG1410-mediated changes are significant in our CVN-Alzheimer's model. These data, together with many peer-reviewed publications on the actions of "COG" compounds in animal models, form the scientific basis for this translational proposal to bring COG1410 to the Alzheimer's population. Work Plan Overview: To translate COG1410 to the clinic and reduce the risks associated with commercialization (please see details in the attached proposal), we are proposing to perform all studies necessary to receive approval of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for subcutaneous administration of COG1410 for an Alzheimer's indication, followed by performance of Phase 1 human clinical trials. To achieve this goal, this Phase 1 SBIR application will perform the dose range finding studies with subcutaneously administered COG1410 in rats and dogs so as to determine the low, middle and high doses of SC-COG1410 that will be used in Phase 2 SBIR studies. Phase 2 SBIR studies will employ low, middle and high doses of SC-COG1410 on a daily basis for 28-days in definitive and GLP studies of pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics in rats and dogs. The results of of these PK/TK studies, together with safety studies already completed, and GMP-synthesis, packaging and stability evaluations of COG1410, will be incorporated into an IND package and submitted to the FDA for approval. Once approved, then Phase2C/Phase 3-SBIR studies of clinical Phase 1A single ascending dose and Phase 1B repeat ascending dose studies of subcutaneous COG1410 in human subjects can be completed. With clinical studies showing that subcutaneous COG1410 can be safely given to human subjects, we will have achieved a significant milestone that reduces the risks and enables substantive commercialization activities to proceed.

描述（由申请人提供）：皮下COG1410治疗阿尔茨海默病的安全性和毒性研究：一种基于不靶向淀粉样蛋白- β的载脂蛋白e的治疗方法阿尔茨海默病的背景：阿尔茨海默病（AD）是痴呆症的主要原因和第六大死亡原因，影响540万美国患者及其1300万护理人员。与近年来中风、心脏病和其他疾病的死亡率有所下降不同，从2000年到2006年，阿尔茨海默病的死亡率增加了47%。这种增长没有停止的迹象，因为美国65岁及以上的人口预计将从2005年的3600万增加到2050年的8700万，到2050年阿尔茨海默病患者将平行增加到1600万。由于没有有效的治疗方法，医疗保险和医疗补助计划在老年痴呆症患者的护理上花费了1480亿美元，约占其总项目的20%，而家庭护理人员在照顾患有老年痴呆症的亲属上至少多花费了940亿美元。这些数据有力地支持了开发一种有效的抗阿尔茨海默氏症治疗方法的巨大需求，不仅可以减轻患者及其家属的痛苦和痛苦，还可以减少为这些阿尔茨海默氏症患者提供医疗保健而产生的快速增长的私人和公共债务。COG1410在阿尔茨海默病中的应用：Cognosci开发了一系列创新的神经保护和抗炎“COG”化合物，其中包括基于载脂蛋白e -3的结构和活性的COG1410。我们的同行评审出版物表明，这些COG化合物特异性地结合SET，一种已知的蛋白磷酸酶2A （PP2A）抑制剂。COG/SET复合物的形成降低了SET对PP2A的抑制作用，从而允许再激活，从而在“COG”处理的细胞或动物中PP2A磷酸酶活性水平增加（Christensen等，2011）。虽然PP2A占大脑中所有磷酸酶活性的70%，但文献报道，与年龄匹配的健康对照组相比，AD大脑中的SET水平显着增加；与年龄匹配的健康对照组相比，AD患者大脑中PP2A磷酸酶活性水平显著降低。为了恢复AD大脑中SET和PP2A活性的健康平衡，我们建议添加COG1410可以拮抗SET，从而使PP2A酶活性水平增加到健康水平，并使大脑恢复正常。在我们的cvn -阿尔茨海默氏症小鼠中，我们证明皮下给药COG1410可减少磷酸化tau/神经原纤维缠结样病理，减少淀粉样斑块样病理，并显著改善学习和记忆行为（Vitek et al. 2012a, Vitek et al. 2012b）。本应用程序提供的其他数据表明，所有这些cog1410介导的变化在我们的cvn -阿尔茨海默病模型中都是显著的。这些数据，加上许多同行评议的关于“COG”化合物在动物模型中的作用的出版物，构成了将COG1410引入阿尔茨海默氏症人群的转化建议的科学基础。工作计划概述：为了将COG1410转化为临床并降低与商业化相关的风险（详见附件提案），我们建议进行所有必要的研究，以获得皮下给药COG1410用于阿尔茨海默病适应症的研究新药（IND）申请的批准，随后进行1期人体临床试验。为了实现这一目标，这项1期SBIR申请将在大鼠和狗身上进行皮下给药COG1410的剂量范围研究，以确定将用于2期SBIR研究的SC-COG1410的低、中、高剂量。2期SBIR研究将在大鼠和狗的药代动力学和毒性动力学的最终和GLP研究中，每天使用低、中、高剂量SC-COG1410，持续28天。这些PK/TK研究的结果，连同已经完成的安全性研究，以及COG1410的gmp合成、包装和稳定性评估，将被纳入IND包并提交FDA批准。一旦获得批准，就可以完成人类受试者皮下COG1410临床1A期单次递增剂量和1B期重复递增剂量的2c期/ 3期sbir研究。临床研究表明，COG1410可以安全地皮下给予人体受试者，我们将实现一个重要的里程碑，降低了风险，并使实质性的商业化活动得以进行。
