There’s not much new here from this report from last week’s Movement Disorder Society conference in Vancouver. This report focuses on two anti-tau drugs being studied in PSP — one from AbbVie and one from Bristol-Myers Squibb. The BMS drug was recently licensed to Biogen. Both drugs proved safe in phase I studies, and both have moved into phase II trials.
Tau is the protein involved in PSP and CBD. It’s one of two proteins involved in Alzheimer’s.
