Total revenue for the first six months of 2026 was primarily from $50.0 million in milestone payment from Novo Nordisk related to ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial for coramitug and collaboration revenue from Bristol Myers Squibb related to the partial performance of our PRX019 Phase 1 clinical trial obligation. Total revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2025 was primarily from collaboration revenue from Bristol Myers Squibb related to the partial performance of our PRX019 Phase 1 clinical trial obligation. Research and development (R&D) expenses totaled $8.8 million and $21.4 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, as compared to $40.5 million and $91.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2025, respectively. The decrease in R&D expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to lower clinical trial expenses, lower personnel expenses, lower consulting expenses and lower manufacturing expenses. R&D expenses included non-cash share-based compensation expense of $1.7 million and $3.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, as compared to $4.7 million and $9.5 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2025, respectively.

The decrease in G&A expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to lower consulting expenses and lower personnel expenses. G&A expenses included non-cash share-based compensation expense of $4.5 million and $9.4 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, as compared to $5.7 million and $11.8 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2025, respectively. Prothena recorded restructuring expenses of $2.4 million for the second quarter and an aggregate restructuring credit of $1.8 million for the first six months of 2026, respectively, as compared to $32.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2025, respectively.

The Company is updating its projected year end cash balance to approximately $259 million (midpoint) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, representing a decrease of $14 million from prior guidance of $273 million (midpoint). This decrease in cash position is primarily driven by cash utilized as part of the share repurchase program of approximately $12 million between May 1, 2026 and July 30, 2026. The estimated full year 2026 net cash used in operating and investing activities is primarily driven by an estimated net loss of $25 to $30 million, which includes an estimated $26 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense. This financial guidance does not include the potential to earn a $55 million clinical milestone payment in 2026 related to the advancement of PRX019 for neurodegenerative diseases by Bristol Myers Squibb or additional cash utilized as part of a share repurchase program. 2Q 2026 Share Repurchase Program Prothena repurchased 1,454,898 ordinary shares in the second quarter of 2026.

Earnings Beat: Prothena Corporation plc Just Beat Analyst Forecasts, And Analysts Have Been Updating Their Models

Simply Wall St.
Prothena Corporation plc (NASDAQ:PRTA) last week reported its latest quarterly results, which makes it a good time for investors to dive in and see if the business is performing in line with expectations. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Prothena's six analysts is for revenues of US$83.3m in 2026. This would reflect a major 44% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Earnings are expected to improve, with Prothena forecast to report a statutory profit of US$0.047 per share. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$92.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.25 in 2026. From this we can that sentiment has definitely become more bearish after the latest results, leading to lower revenue forecasts and a large cut to earnings per share estimates. View our latest analysis for Prothena The analysts made no major changes to their price target of US$21.40, suggesting the downgrades are not expected to have a long-term impact on Prothena's valuation. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Prothena at US$36.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at US$8.00. With such a wide range in price targets, analysts are almost certainly betting on widely divergent outcomes in the underlying business. As a result it might not be a great idea to make decisions based on the consensus price target, which is after all just an average of this wide range of estimates. These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Prothena's past performance and to peers in the same industry. For example, we noticed that Prothena's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast…Read full document

For example, we noticed that Prothena's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 62% growth to the end of 2026 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 11% a year over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 22% per year. Not only are Prothena's revenues expected to improve, it seems that the analysts are also expecting it to grow faster than the wider industry. The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Prothena. They also downgraded Prothena's revenue estimates, but industry data suggests that it is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates. Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings.

Wainwright 4th Annual BioConnect Investor Conference on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 in New York, NY First Quarter of 2026 Financial Results For the first quarter of 2026, Prothena reported net income of $32.7 million, as compared to a net loss of $60.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. Basic net income per share was $0.61 and fully dilutive net income per share was $0.60 for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to a basic and dilutive net loss per share of $1.12 for the first quarter of 2025. Prothena reported total revenue of $51.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to total revenue of $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. Total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was primarily from $50.0 million in milestone payment from Novo Nordisk related to ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial for coramitug and collaboration revenue from Bristol Myers Squibb related to the partial performance of our PRX019 Phase 1 clinical trial obligation. Total revenue for the first quarter of 2025, was primarily from collaboration revenue from Bristol Myers Squibb related to the partial performance of our PRX019 Phase 1 clinical trial obligation. Research and development (R&D) expenses totaled $12.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $50.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to lower clinical trial expenses, lower personnel expenses, lower manufacturing expenses and lower consulting expenses. R&D expenses included non-cash share-based compensation expense of $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled $12.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in G&A expenses for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to lower consulting expenses and lower personnel expenses. G&A expenses included non-cash share-based compensation expense of $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2025. Prothena recorded an aggregate restructuring credit of approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily related to a reduction in contract termination costs associated with one or more third-party vendors. Total non-cash share-based compensation expense was $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $10.9 million for the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2026, Prothena had $330.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and no debt. As of April 30, 2026, Prothena had approximately 52.4 million ordinary shares outstanding. 2026 Financial Guidance Prothena is updating its projected full year 2026 net cash used in operating and investing actives, and expects it to be $18 to $23 million (versus prior guidance $50 to $55 million) and expects to end the year with approximately $273 million (midpoint) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, representing an increase of $18 million from prior guidance of $255 million (midpoint). This increase in cash position is primarily driven by a $50 million milestone payment from Novo Nordisk related to the advancement of coramitug offset by cash utilized as part of share repurchase program activities of approximately $15 million through April 30, 2026, the settlement of liabilities related to discontinued programs, and an increased investment in our preclinical programs. The updated estimated full year 2026 net cash used from operating and investing activities is primarily driven by an updated estimated net loss of $25 to $30 million (versus prior guidance of $67 to $72 million), which includes an estimated $26 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense. This financial guidance does not include the potential to earn a $55 million clinical milestone payment in 2026 related to the advancement of PRX019 for neurodegenerative diseases by Bristol Myers Squibb or additional cash utilized as part of a share repurchase program. 1Q 2026 Share Repurchase Program Prothena repurchased a total of 788,990 ordinary shares with $7.3 million, exclusive of commissions and expenses, as of March 31, 2026, from its up to $100.0 million share repurchase program, which expires December 31, 2026.

Zacks
Prothena Corporation PRTA reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share (excluding restructuring costs) of 52 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was a loss of 31 cents per share. In the year-ago quarter, the company had incurred a loss of $1.12 per share. The bottom line was boosted by higher revenues resulting from a milestone payment from Novo Nordisk NVO. Revenues totaled $51.1 million compared with $2.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The top line primarily comprises collaboration revenues and milestone payments. First-quarter 2026 revenues were primarily driven by a $50.0 million milestone payment from NVO tied to the ongoing late-stage study of coramitug, along with collaboration revenues from Bristol Myers Squibb BMY related to the partial fulfillment of the company’s phase I study obligations for PRX019. Prothena’s shares have gained 10.1% in the year so far against the industry’s decline of 0.2%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased 75.2% to $12.6 million from $50.8 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by lower clinical trial, personnel, manufacturing and consulting expenses. General and administrative (G&A) expenses decreased 28% to $12.7 million from $17.6 million in the year-ago period, mainly due to lower consulting and personnel expenses. As of March 31, 2026, Prothena had $330.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, compared with $308.4 million as of Dec. 31, 2025.

The company’s financial guidance does not include the potential receipt of a $55 million clinical milestone payment tied to BMY’s advancement of PRX019 for neurodegenerative diseases, nor does it factor in any additional cash that may be used under the share repurchase program. Prothena is developing prasinezumab in collaboration with Roche RHHBY for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Roche is evaluating prasinezumab in an ongoing late-stage PARAISO study for early-stage Parkinson's disease, with primary completion expected in 2029. Roche expects prasinezumab to have peak sales potential of more than $3.5 billion (unadjusted). Novo Nordisk had earlier acquired Prothena’s clinical-stage antibody, Coramitug (formerly PRX004), a potential first-in-class amyloid depleter antibody for the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). NVO is evaluating the candidate under a late-stage CLEOPATTRA study for ATTR-CM. The study is expected to be completed by 2029. The company initiated an open-label study evaluating the biodistribution of 89Zr-coramitug and assessing coramitug’s ability to reduce TTR amyloid deposits in myocardial tissue using PET/CT imaging in patients with ATTR-CM, with primary completion expected in 2027 (NCT07448623). Prothena also received a $50 million clinical milestone payment tied to phase III enrollment progress. It is advancing an early-stage pipeline of programs for several potential neurological indications with Bristol Myers. BMS-986446 (formerly PRX005) is a best-in-class anti-tau, MTBR-specific antibody for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease. Bristol Myers is conducting the phase II TargetTau-1 study in approximately 310 patients with early Alzheimer’s disease and the primary completion is expected in the first half of 2027. Bristol Myers Squibb also conducted a phase I open-label single-dose clinical study to assess subcutaneous administration. PRX019, a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, is also being developed in collaboration with Bristol Myers. BMY in-licensed exclusive global rights to PRX019 in 2024. Prothena completed a phase I study evaluating the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics of single-ascending and multiple-dose administration in healthy volunteers. The company could receive a potential $55 million clinical milestone payment if BMY elects to advance the program, with a decision expected by year-end 2026.

Why Is Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT) Up 24.2% Since Last Earnings Report?

Zacks
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT). Shares have added about 24.2% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500. Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Sarepta Therapeutics due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late. Sarepta reported a fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted loss of $3.58 per share, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 71 cents. This higher-than-anticipated loss was attributed to an increase in operating expenses incurred during the quarter. In the year-ago period, the company posted an adjusted EPS of $1.91. The adjusted figures exclude depreciation and amortization costs, stock-based compensation expenses, gains on strategic investments, losses on debt extinguishment and restructuring charges. Including these items, the loss during the quarter was $3.93 against an EPS of $1.50 in the year-ago period. Sarepta recorded total revenues of $442.9 million, down nearly 33% year over year. This downtick was due to lower sales of Elevidys. The reported figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $408.5 million. Product revenues fell 42% year over year to $369.6 million. The company recorded $259 million from the product sales of its three PMO therapies, up 2% year over year. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $270 million. Sarepta generated $110 million from Elevidys sales, down more than 71% year over year, primarily due to its decision to suspend shipments to non-ambulatory patients in June 2025 amid safety concerns. The therapy’s sales missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $114 million. SRPT recorded approximately $73.3 million in collaboration and other revenues, compared to $20.3 million in the year-ago period. This uptick was mainly due to higher contract manufacturing revenues, driven by higher volume of shipments of Elevidys to Roche. Adjusted research and development (R&D) expenses totaled $308.1 million, up 78% year over year. This upside is primarily due to an increase in milestone expenses made toward pipeline development during the quarter. Adjusted selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses declined 20% to…Read full document

Sarepta reported total revenues of $2.2 billion, up 16% year over year. The adjusted loss in 2025 stood at $5.05 per share against adjusted EPS of $3.71 in the year-ago period.

The company projects total collaboration, contract manufacturing and royalty revenues to be between $450 million and $550 million. Sarepta reiterated its guidance for expenses. It expects the combined adjusted R&D and SG&A expenses to be in the $800-$900 million range. Since the earnings release, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates revision. The consensus estimate has shifted 9.79% due to these changes. At this time, Sarepta Therapeutics has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock has a score of A on the value side, putting it in the top quintile for this investment strategy. Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in. Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Interestingly, Sarepta Therapeutics has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months. Sarepta Therapeutics is part of the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry.

Why Is Jazz (JAZZ) Down 3.9% Since Last Earnings Report?

Zacks
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ). Shares have lost about 3.9% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500. But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Jazz due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late. Jazz Pharmaceuticals reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $6.64, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.62. Earnings rose 2% year over year. Total revenues rose 10% year over year to $1.2 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.18 billion. Net product sales increased 10.5% year over year to $1.13 billion. The reported figure beat both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and our model estimate, each of which stood at $1.11 billion. Jazz recorded about $56 million in royalty revenues from high-sodium oxybate authorized generic (AG), up 1% year over year. The metric beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $53 million and our model estimate of $51 million. Other royalties and contract revenues were about $10 million, up 28% from the year-ago period levels. Sales of Jazz’s neuroscience products rose more than 8% year over year to $792 million. Net product sales for the combined oxybate business (Xyrem + Xywav) rose 12% to $503 million. This combined figure beat both the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $481 million and our model estimates of $485 million. Sales of Xyrem declined more than 23% year over year to $37.8 million, primarily due to patients switching to Xywav and the launch of AGs in 2023. Xywav recorded sales of more than $465 million in the quarter, reflecting 16% year-over-year growth. This upside can be attributed to the encouraging uptake of the drug in narcolepsy and IH indications. This drug is currently Jazz’s most extensive product by net sales. Sales of Epidiolex/Epidyolex rose 4% to $287 million. Per Jazz, the drug’s sales growth was negatively impacted by higher-than-normal inventory levels in the year-ago period.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Jazz due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late. Jazz Pharmaceuticals reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $6.64, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.62. Earnings rose 2% year over year. Total revenues rose 10% year over year to $1.2 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.18 billion. Net product sales increased 10.5% year over year to $1.13 billion. The reported figure beat both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and our model estimate, each of which stood at $1.11 billion. Jazz recorded about $56 million in royalty revenues from high-sodium oxybate authorized generic (AG), up 1% year over year. The metric beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $53 million and our model estimate of $51 million. Other royalties and contract revenues were about $10 million, up 28% from the year-ago period levels. Sales of Jazz’s neuroscience products rose more than 8% year over year to $792 million. Net product sales for the combined oxybate business (Xyrem + Xywav) rose 12% to $503 million. This combined figure beat both the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $481 million and our model estimates of $485 million. Sales of Xyrem declined more than 23% year over year to $37.8 million, primarily due to patients switching to Xywav and the launch of AGs in 2023. Xywav recorded sales of more than $465 million in the quarter, reflecting 16% year-over-year growth. This upside can be attributed to the encouraging uptake of the drug in narcolepsy and IH indications. This drug is currently Jazz’s most extensive product by net sales. Sales of Epidiolex/Epidyolex rose 4% to $287 million. Per Jazz, the drug’s sales growth was negatively impacted by higher-than-normal inventory levels in the year-ago period. This likely caused Epidiolex sales to miss the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $297 million and our model estimate of $300 million. Despite this soft performance, the drug achieved blockbuster status in 2025. Cannabis-based mouth spray Sativex recorded sales of $1.5 million in the quarter, down 71% year over year. Oncology product sales rose 16% to over $337 million. Rylaze/Enrylaze posted sales of more than $108 million, up nearly 7% year over year. This figure beat both the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $106 million and our model estimate of $107 million. Zepzelca recorded sales over $90 million, up 15% year over year. This upside was primarily driven by initial demand for the drug in the recently approved front-line SCLC setting. Vyxeos generated sales of about $35 million, down 35% from the year-ago period’s level. Defitelio sales rose 2% to $59 million. Ziihera added $8.5 million to the top line compared with $8.3 million in the previous quarter. Jazz recorded revenues worth $36.5 million from the sales of its recently launched brain tumor drug Modeyso, compared to $11 million in the previous quarter. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) rose about 12% year over year to $360.5 million. This uptick was primarily attributed to higher compensation-related expenses incurred during the quarter. Adjusted research and development (R&D) expenses declined 14% to $190 million, mainly due to lower clinical program costs incurred during the quarter. Jazz reported adjusted EPS of $8.38 for the full year, down 54% year over year. Total revenues rose 5% year over year to $4.3 billion. The top line included neuroscience and oncology net product sales of $2.9 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. Jazz issued financial guidance for the full year. Total revenues are expected to be in the range of $4.25-$4.50 billion, suggesting 2.5% year-over-year growth at the midpoint compared with 2025 level. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for this metric is pinned at $4.54 billion. While the company expects double-digit growth across its combined epilepsy and oncology franchises, Xywav sales are projected to either remain flat or rise by a mid-single-digit percentage. While adjusted SG&A expenses are anticipated to be between $1.26 billion and $1.32 billion, adjusted R&D expenses are expected to be in the range of $725-$775 million. The effective tax rate is expected to be between 11.5% and 13.5%. The company expects 2025 adjusted EPS to be in the range of $7.65-$8.45, representing a significant increase from the previous guidance of $4.80 to $5.60. In the past month, investors have witnessed a flat trend in fresh estimates. The consensus estimate has shifted 7.35% due to these changes. Currently, Jazz has a average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a D. However, the stock has a score of A on the value side, putting it in the top quintile for value investors. Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in. Jazz has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months. Jazz is part of the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry. Over the past month, Prothena (PRTA), a stock from the same industry, has gained 4.8%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended December 2025 more than a month ago. Prothena reported revenues of $0.02 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -99.1%. EPS of -$0.44 for the same period compares with -$1.08 a year ago. For the current quarter, Prothena is expected to post a loss of $0.37 per share, indicating a change of +67% from the year-ago quarter.

The company faces significant competition in the Alzheimer's treatment space, with larger and more advanced competitors. Prothena's 2026 financial guidance does not include potential milestone payments, indicating uncertainty in revenue realization. Q: With the primary completion dates for the partnered program trials for ESO and Cleopatra not expected until 2029, could you walk us through some of the key milestones to look out for in 2026 and 2027? A: Gene Kinney, President and CEO, highlighted several key milestones, including sharing more information on their emerging technologies, particularly the TDP 43 site program, through scientific presentations in 2026. In 2027, they expect data from their partner Tal program with Bristol-Myers Squibb. Additionally, they plan to implement a share redemption program in 2026 and potentially earn up to $105 million in clinical milestones from partners. Q: How do you plan to keep the PRX 012 story alive against larger competitors, and what would make a transferrin receptor platform ideal for partnership? A: Gene Kinney explained that PRX 012's potential lies in its once-monthly subcutaneous administration and robust amyloid removal capabilities. They aim to enhance its profile by adding transferrin receptor technology, which could improve its competitive edge. Brandon Smith, COO, added that there is significant market interest in their approach, and they are actively engaged in business development discussions. Q: For the phase one study of PRX 019, expected to complete this year, do you plan to share data from the study, and what do you want to see for this program to advance? A: Gene Kinney stated that PRX 019 is partnered with Bristol-Myers Squibb, and while they will share data with their partner, it will be up to Bristol-Myers Squibb to decide on public dissemination. Tran Nguyen, CFO, added that any advancement of PRX 019 could lead to milestone payments, contributing to the potential $105 million in 2026. Q: What data would be necessary to secure a partnership for the Cyto platform, or if you decide to advance it into the clinic yourselves? A: Gene Kinney emphasized the promising pre-clinical data for the Cyto platform, particularly in targeting TDP 43 in ALS. Brandon Smith noted that the technology's broad applications beyond neuroscience make it attractive for partnerships, and they are already engaged in research collaborations to explore its potential further. Q: Based on pre-clinical experiments, what might be the mechanistic hypothesis for why the transferrin modification reduces ARIA risk, and will PRX 012 still be subcutaneously delivered? A: Gene Kinney suggested that the transferrin modification might alter the route of entry into the brain, potentially reducing ARIA risk. He confirmed that PRX 012 is expected to remain subcutaneously delivered, leveraging its potency to achieve biological effects at lower doses.
