About the trial

WA only

GSK4527226 is a monoclonal antibody that binds to sortilin, a transmembrane receptor that is a regulator of progranulin (PGRN). PGRN is a secreted protein that is expressed in the brain and is associated with the regulation of lysosomal function and neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease. GSK4527226 has been shown to increase PGRN and hopes to reduce the decline in neurological function in Alzheimer’s disease patients.
