Prasinezumab

4 trials tracked · 4 active · last refreshed 2026-08-10

Summary

Prasinezumab (RO7046015) is Roche and Prothena's monoclonal antibody targeting aggregated alpha-synuclein, the misfolded protein that clumps into Lewy bodies in Parkinson's disease — the idea is to clear or block the toxic protein directly, rather than just replacing lost dopamine. It's the furthest-along immunotherapy approach in Parkinson's, now in Phase III after an earlier Phase II trial suggested it may slow motor decline in a specific subgroup of faster-progressing patients.

Its other active trials extend that Phase II follow-up long-term and test it in GBA-associated Parkinson's — a genetically defined subgroup (see Ambroxol, tracked separately, for a different drug targeting the same genetic subgroup) — reflecting a broader shift toward matching Parkinson's treatments to specific biological subtypes rather than treating the disease as one thing.

NCT IDTitlePhaseStatusStarted
NCT07055087 Prevent Cognitive Decline in GBA-associated Parkinson's Disease Phase II Not yet recruiting 2025-12

This is a proof-of-concept trial to investigate the efficacy of prasinezumab to slow or prevent cognitive decline in people with Parkinson's disease carrying a severe mutation in the GBA (glucocerebrosidase) gene. The duration of the intervention per patient will be 104 weeks with monthly infusions. The investigators plan to enroll 120 participants (60 participants per treatment arm). This study will be conducted across Europe in the following countries: France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden, UK.

NCT03100149 A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Prasinezumab (RO7046015/PRX002) in Participants With Early Parkinson's Disease Phase II Active, not recruiting 2017-06-27

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study will evaluate the efficacy of intravenous prasinezumab (RO7046015/PRX002) versus placebo over 52 weeks in participants with early Parkinson's Disease (PD) who are untreated or treated with monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors since baseline. The study will consist of three parts: a 52-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period (Part 1) after which eligible participants will continue into an all-participants-on-treatment blinded dose extension for an additional 52 weeks (Part 2). Participants who complete Part 2 (including the 12-week treatment-free follow up visit assessing long term safety and efficacy of RO7046015) will be offered participation in Part 3 open-label extension (all-participants-on-RO7046015-treatment) for an additional 520 weeks.
