Therapies in development

Our research and development teams aim to target the underlying mechanisms of brain disease. We move together towards a singular goal to deliver novel therapies that redefine the standard of care for patients and address the areas in brain disease where we see the greatest need.   

Hormonal / neuropeptide signaling

Project Area Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Filing
Eptinezumab (anti-CGRP mAb)¹ Migraine prevention²
Filing

Mode of action

Eptinezumab is a monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibody that binds to human calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) with high specificity and high affinity for the CGRP α- and β-form. CGRP is a signaling molecule in the pathophysiology of migraine and cluster headache.

Lu AG09222 (anti-PACAP mAb)³ Migraine prevention
2

Mode of action

Lu AG09222 is an investigational monoclonal antibody designed to bind and inhibit signaling mediated by pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP); a neuropeptide that is implicated in migraine pathophysiology.

Lu AG13909 (anti-ACTH mAb)⁴ Neurohormonal dysfunctions
1

Mode of action

Lu AG13909 is a humanized IgG1 mAb that specifically binds to ACTH with high affinity and inhibits ACTH-induced melanocortin signalling. The compound is being developed by Lundbeck as a treatment for conditions characterized by chronically elevated ACTH.

Circuitry / neuronal biology

Project Area Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Filing
Brexpiprazole⁵ PTSD⁶
Filing

Mode of action

Brexpiprazole is a small molecule and a potent serotonin–dopamine activity modulator. It acts as a partial agonist at serotonin 5-HT1A and dopamine D2 receptors, and as an antagonist at serotonin 5-HT2A and noradrenaline α1B/α2C receptors. The serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline neurotransmitter systems may be implicated in behavioral symptoms of dementia, including agitation.

Bexicaserin (5HT2C agonist) Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies
3
Lu AF28996 (D1-D2 agonist)⁷ Parkinson's disease
1

Mode of action

Lu AF28996 is a small molecule with agonistic properties towards D1 and D2 receptors. Concerted D1 and D2 dopamine receptor stimulation may play an important role in motor control of Parkinson’s disease patients.

Protein aggregation, folding and clearance

Project Area Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
Amlenetug (anti α-synuclein mAb) Multiple System Atrophy
3

Mode of action

Amlenetug is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) that recognizes and binds to all major forms of extracellular α-synuclein and thereby intended to prevent uptake and inhibit seeding of aggregation.
