To assess the effect of nasal foralumab, a fully-human anti-CD3 monoclonal-antibody on microglial activation in non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (na-SPMS) with PIRA (progression independent of relapses).

A major unmet need in MS is developing therapy for na-SPMS with PIRA and smoldering inflammation. [F-18]PBR06 is a long half-life PET ligand targeting the 18kiloDalton translocator protein that measures microglial density and is increased in na-SPMS and PIRA. We are using nasal foralumab to treat MS subjects with PIRA in an open-label expanded-access program based on its positive effects in attenuating microglial activation and clinical progression in an animal model of progressive MS.

22 [F-18]PBR06-PET scans were performed in 6 na-SPMS patients with PIRA (3 females) who underwent [F-18]PBR06-PET scans at baseline and at 3 and 6 months following nasal foralumab treatment and in 2 na-SPMS patients with PIRA who underwent a test and a retest [F-18]PBR06-PET scan. A voxel-by-voxel z-score mapping approach was used and sum of z-scores in voxels with z-values>2 was calculated. Longitudinal PET uptake and clinical changes were assessed.
Five of six patients (83%, 95% confidence interval 44%-97%) showed a qualitative reduction on [F-18]PBR06-PET in multiple brain regions after both 3 and 6 months of nasal foralumab treatment. White matter z-scores were reduced by 26-36% in the foralumab treated group at 3 and 6 months, which was >4-5-times higher compared to 6% variability in the test-retest group (PET effect size estimate at 3 months=1.4). Clinically, foralumab-treated patients demonstrated a stable EDSS and improvement in the modified fatigue impact scale.

Nasal foralumab attenuated microglial activation in na-SPMS patients with PIRA at 3 and 6 months, as evaluated by [F-18]PBR06-PET and was associated with clinical stability. Based on these positive results, a double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-ranging study of nasal-foralumab in na-SPMS with [F-18]PBR06-PET as a primary endpoint is underway.
