A Phase 1b study of PLX5622 in RA patients receiving methotrexate therapy has been completed- see NCT01329991.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
An increasing number of diseases are now recognized as being driven by inflammatory processes, and consequently involve various cells of the immune system. These cells include macrophages, microglial cells, T-cells, B-cells, monocytes and mast cells. CSF1R inhibitors are expected to target pro-inflammatory macrophages in inflamed joints of RA patients as well as reducing bone erosion and pain through inhibition of osteoclasts.
Alzheimer's disease (neuroinflammation): PLX5622 has been shown to eliminate microglia from the brain, which can be sustained in wild-type and the Alzheimer's disease model mice (3xTg-AD model). In the AD model PLX5622 prevents microglial association with amyloid β plaques and improves cognition [1].
