Delving into the Latest Updates on Siponimod Fumaric Acid with Synapse

Collaboration with multiple sclerosis (MS) specialty colleagues led us to formulate the central hypothesis that Siponimod could lower the rate of brain atrophy in Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects. To test our central hypothesis, we will carry out an 18-month Phase II, double-blind, randomized, twoarmed, placebo controlled, proof-of-concept clinical study in early AD subjects (i.e. mild AD) who will be receiving an escalating dose of Siponimod or placebo in the ratio 2:1 for 12 months, followed by a 6-month washout period. The primary outcome measures are safety and tolerability of Siponimod in mild AD subjects. The secondary outcome measures are the rates of brain atrophy derived from volumetric MRI (vMRI) as a proxy for neurodegeneration conducted at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months. The tertiary outcome measures are the changes in cognition and the levels of AD-associated (e.g., Aβ and tau) and inflammatory biomarkers in CSF after Siponimod exposure. In an exploratory effort, we will also measure plasma inflammatory markers during the entire duration of the study to investigate whether one or more of these markers can be used as dynamic surrogate markers of treatment response. Using our unique experience with the repurposing of immunomodulatory drugs for AD (and NCT #04032626), in the present project we are using elements of clinical trial design that we believe were successful and made some adjustments to fit the pharmacologic and toxic properties of Siponimod.

Cerebellar subregional atrophy in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: Stage-dependent dynamics and pharmacological modulation

Article

Author: Li, Yongmei ; Feng, Jinzhou ; Yu, Bin ; Zhang, Xiaohui ; Zhang, Zhiwei ; Chen, Xiaoya ; Zhang, Kai ; Du, Silin

BACKGROUND:

Cerebellar atrophy is increasingly recognized as an important pathological feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the specific patterns at different stages and their alteration by disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are not well comprehended.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to investigate stage-dependent cerebellar subregional volume changes in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and evaluate the effects of different DMT classes on cerebellar atrophy and clinical outcomes.

METHODS:

A total of 181 patients with RRMS and 99 healthy controls were recruited for this study. Patients were stratified by lesion activity into acute-active, chronic-active, and chronic-inactive subgroups, and by pharmacological mechanism into untreated, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)_T (siponimod, fingolimod, and ozanimod) and not_S1P_DMT (dimethyl fumarate and teriflunomide). Cerebellar subregional volumes were quantified using the deep learning-based tool, CerebNet. Group comparisons were conducted, and interaction effects were examined. The correlations between the cerebellar subregions and cognition were subsequently analyzed.

RESULTS:

In the lesion-activity subgroups, significant volume loss was detected in several posterior cerebellar lobules, including Crus II, VIIIa/b, VIIb, X, Crus I, and IX (all p < 0.05). The acute-active subgroup exhibited additional atrophy in anterior lobules I-IV and vermis IX compared with the chronic-active subgroup (all p < 0.05). In the treatment subgroups, widespread reductions were observed in the posterior lobules Crus I/II, V, VIIb, VIIIb, IX, and X, with most decreases appearing in the untreated groups (all p < 0.05). Pairwise comparisons displayed region-specific patterns: left VIIIa volume was reduced in the MS_noDrug and MS_not_S1P_DMT groups but increased in the S1P_DMT group, whereas right lobule V in the S1P_DMT and vermis VI in the MS_not_S1P_DMT were both higher (all p < 0.05). The interaction effects of disease stage and treatment were mainly localized to lobules IX and VIIIb, and the volumes of bilateral IX lobules showed a weak positive correlated with cognitive performance.

CONCLUSION:

This study demonstrated stage-specific patterns of cerebellar atrophy in RRMS and the heterogeneous, stage-dependent effects of DMTs on posterior cerebellar subregions. Lobules IX and VIIIb emerged as critical loci linking pharmacological modulation with cognitive outcomes. These findings suggest that these regions may serve as potential imaging biomarkers of therapeutic response and prognosis in MS.

Dual Mechanisms of Cognitive Function and Pathological Improvements by the Selective S1PR1/5 Modulator Siponimod in 3xTg-AD Mice

Article

Author: Ding, Yaqi ; Lei, Xiaoyang ; Yang, Sushuang ; He, Dian ; Tang, Chao ; Xu, Bingyang ; Zhang, Ming

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cognitive decline, with neuroinflammation and myelin dysfunction as crucial pathological mechanisms. Siponimod, a selective S1PR1/5 modulator, shows promising therapeutic potential through enhanced brain penetration and improved pharmacokinetic properties compared to first-generation modulators. Network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses were utilized to comprehensively elucidate the underlying mechanisms of Siponimod in the context of AD. Specifically, network pharmacology identified key targets and pathways associated with Siponimod, while molecular docking facilitated predictions of binding affinities to these targets. For in vitro assessments, BV2 microglia cells were used to investigate the effects of Siponimod after stimulation with LPS, focusing on inflammatory responses and cellular signaling pathways. Concurrently, in vivo studies employed the 3xTg-AD mouse model to investigate behavioral outcomes related to cognitive function, alongside evaluations of neuroinflammation and the integrity of myelin sheaths. Siponimod treatment resulted in a significant reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines and ROS production in BV2 microglia cells, thereby indicating its robust anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In the 3xTg-AD mouse model, administration of Siponimod led to marked improvements in cognitive performance as assessed through various behavioral tests. Additionally, there was a noteworthy decrease in Aβ plaque deposition, coupled with evidence of myelin repair, which was reflected in the increased expression of myelination-related proteins, namely OLIG2 and MBP. Furthermore, Siponimod was found to activate the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, which plays a crucial role in promoting neuroprotection and enhancing cellular resilience against neurodegenerative processes. This study demonstrates that Siponimod effectively treats AD through dual mechanisms: reducing neuroinflammation and promoting myelin repair via the S1PR1/5 and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. These findings suggest Siponimod's potential as a promising therapeutic agent for AD treatment.

Siponimod enhances brain-derived neurotrophic factor secretion from immune cells in multiple sclerosis: A longitudinal study

Article

Author: Golan, Maya ; Avizov, Roy ; Karni, Arnon ; Fuchs, Lior

BACKGROUND:

Siponimod is an approved drug for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS), and may exert neuroprotective effects beyond its established immunomodulatory properties. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a key molecule supporting neuronal survival and plasticity, and its secretion by immune cells may contribute to neuroregeneration in MS. We studied the impact of long-term siponimod therapy on the secretion of BDNF and other neurotrophic factors by immune cells in MS patients.

METHODS:

Twenty patients diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) or SPMS and receiving siponimod were assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 18 months. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells, CD3⁺ T cells, CD14⁺ monocytes, and B cell-enriched fractions were isolated and cultured ex vivo. Supernatants were analyzed for BDNF, nerve growth factor, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin-3, and neurotrophin-4 levels.

RESULTS:

A significant increase in BDNF secretion was observed in PBMCs and T cells after 18 months of siponimod treatment. The other neurotrophins remained below detectable thresholds. Correlation of RRMS vs. SPMS analyses (age, sex, disease duration, baseline Expanded Disability Status Scale, and disease course), and multivariable regression modelling revealed no significant associations between them and treatment-induced changes in BDNF.

CONCLUSION:

These findings suggest that prolonged siponimod therapy enhances BDNF secretion by immune cells, demonstrating a heretofore unreported neuroprotective mechanism contributing to siponimod's clinical efficacy in reducing disability progression in MS.

KEY POINTS:

Our study found that long-term treatment with siponimod, a drug for multiple sclerosis MS, led to a significant increase in the release of a BDNF by immune cells. This effect was seen after 18 months and was not influenced by patients' age, disease type, or disability level. The findings suggest that siponimod may support neuroprotection and repair in MS through a newly identified mechanism beyond its known immune effects.

TrumpRx signs agreement with nine new pharma manufacturers

The White House announced it has signed nine new agreements with pharmaceutical companies Amgen , Bristol Myers Squibb , Boehringer Ingelheim , Genentech , Gilead Sciences , GSK , Merck , Novartis and Sanofi to offer medications through TrumpRx at discounted rates. According to the White House, Boehringer Ingelheim's Jentadeuto for type 2 diabetes will be listed for $55 for U.S. patients, Bristol Myers Squibb's Reyataz for HIV will be $217, Genentech's Xofluza flu medication will be $50, and Amgen's Repatha, used to lower high cholesterol, will be offered through TrumpRx for $239. TrumpRx will also offer Gilead Sciences' Epclusa hepatitis C medication for $2,425, Merck's Januvia for diabetes at $100 and Novartis' Mayzent for multiple sclerosis for $1,137, and Sanofi will reduce the price of its prescription blood thinner, Plavix, to $16. Sanofi will also list its insulin products on TrumpRx at $35 per month’s supply, and GSK will reduce the prices of its inhaler portfolio, including its asthma inhaler Advair Diskus 500/50, to $89. The pharma giants are also collectively investing at least $150 billion in U.S. manufacturing and donating active pharmaceutical ingredients to the Strategic Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Reserve, which aims to increase the U.S. supply of such products in the event of an emergency and reduce America's reliance on foreign nations. THE LARGER TREND Earlier this month, Boehringer Ingelheim announced it had signed an agreement with the Trump administration that allows the pharma giant to be excluded from potential Section 232 tariffs. The pharma giant plans to spend $10 billion to expand its research and development and manufacturing operations in the U.S. through 2028, including $1 billion for capital expenditures. The agreement means the bulk of Boehringer's medications for U.S. patients will be produced in the United States. In November, the White House announced it signed agreements with Eli Lilly and Company and Novo Nordisk to offer GLP-1s Zepbound, orforglipron, Ozempic and Wegovy through TrumpRx at a discounted rate. TrumpRx launched in September and announced it brokered a deal with Pfizer to offer some of the pharma giant's medications at a discount through the prescription digital marketplace. That deal also allowed Pfizer to avoid U.S. tariffs on overseas-made drugs for three years by offering its medications through TrumpRx.
