"We are thrilled to begin this clinical study of VTX3232 in individuals with early-stage Parkinson’s disease," commented Mark Forman, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer. "The existing body of literature presents a strong mechanistic basis for targeting NLRP3-driven neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease. Activation of microglial NLRP3 appears to significantly contribute to the disease's pathogenesis and neurodegeneration. This study aims to assess the effects of VTX3232 on key biomarkers related to the disease and its targets, incorporating exploratory PET neuroimaging to observe the impact of VTX3232 on microglial activation. These assessments may provide early indications of VTX3232’s potential in mitigating Parkinson’s disease pathology by inhibiting NLRP3 in the CNS."

The Phase 2a clinical trial of VTX3232 in early-stage Parkinson’s disease plans to include roughly ten patients over a 28-day open-label treatment period. The primary focus of the trial is safety and tolerability. Additional measures will include pharmacokinetics and relevant biomarkers in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. We anticipate releasing the topline findings from this study in 2025.
