Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Launches Phase 1/2a Trial of ARO-MAPT for Alzheimer's Disease

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced the initiation of a Phase 1/2a clinical trial for ARO-MAPT, an investigational RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic targeting tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease. ARO-MAPT utilizes Arrowhead's proprietary Targeted RNAi Molecule (TRiM™) platform, designed for subcutaneous administration and systemic delivery to the central nervous system by crossing the blood-brain barrier. In preclinical studies presented at the RNA Leaders USA Congress 2025, ARO-MAPT demonstrated potent and sustained suppression of microtubule associated protein tau $(MAPT)$ mRNA and tau protein in non-human primates. The company indicates that these results may enable monthly or quarterly dosing with uniform CNS distribution. Presentation slides are available on the Arrowhead website.
