Voyager adds fourth Alzheimer’s disease programme to pipeline

Voyager Therapeutics has added a new programme that modulates the expression of apolipoprotein E (APOE), the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD).  The programme uses a proprietary intravenous (IV)-delivered, blood-brain barrier (BBB)-penetrant TRACER capsid to deliver a bifunctional payload that is designed to decrease expression… Read More

Anti-tau antibody and gene therapy show potential in Alzheimer’s

A single IV administration of tau silencing gene therapy VY1706 significantly reduced tau mRNA and protein levels, with broad brain distribution and liver de-targeting, in preclinical studies.  Voyager Therapeutics will share the new data from its two preclinical programmes for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) at the 2025 International… Read More
