RNS Number : 2941E GSK PLC 22 October 2025
Issued: 21 October 2025, London UK
GSK provides update on latozinemab
LONDON, 21 October 2025 -GSK plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) and Alector, Inc. (Nasdaq:
ALEC) today confirmed headline results from the INFRONT-3 clinical trial
evaluating latozinemab in individuals with frontotemporal dementia due to a
mutation in the progranulin gene (FTD-GRN).
Although latozinemab treatment resulted in a statistically significant effect
on the INFRONT-3 biomarker co-primary endpoint of plasma progranulin (PGRN)
concentrations i (#_edn1) , latozinemab did not show benefit on the clinical
co-primary endpoint of slowing FTD-GRN progression. The secondary and
exploratory endpoints also did not demonstrate treatment-related effects on
FTD-GRN. Preliminary safety data have not highlighted any major safety
concerns at present. More in-depth analysis of the data is ongoing.
Based on these results, the open-label extension portion of the INFRONT-3
trial and the continuation study for latozinemab will be discontinued.
Given the unmet medical need in neurodegeneration, innovation in this area is
still needed. GSK will evaluate the totality of these data to inform future
research.
The full results of the INFRONT-3 study will be presented at an upcoming
medical congress.
GSK and Alector Collaboration
In July 2021, GSK and Alector entered into a collaboration and license
agreement to collaborate on the global development and commercialization of
progranulin-elevating monoclonal antibodies, including latozinemab. Alector
led the global clinical development of latozinemab through Phase 2
proof-of-concept. Thereafter, Alector and GSK shared development
responsibilities and all costs for global development were divided between the
two companies.
