Research Abstract

p75ECD-Fc is a recombinant human protein that has recently been developed as a novel therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. Current studies showed that it is able to alleviate Alzheimer’s disease pathologies in animal models of dementia. Thus, knowledge about the pharmacokinetic behavior and tissue distribution of this novel protein is crucial in order to better understand its pharmacodynamics and more importantly for its clinical development.
