Troculeucel, a cryopreserved autologous, non-genetically modified NK cell product, appears to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) via CXCR3, to reduce neuroinflammation via a simple IV administration. Troculeucel was shown to internalize and digest amyloid and α-synuclein proteins in vitro and to improve CSF levels of amyloid, α-synuclein, and p-tau in Phase 1 patients in a largely dose-dependent manner. Troculeucel identifies and eliminates auto-activated T cells without disrupting resting T cells in vitro; and improves neuroinflammation in patients, as measured by CSF levels of GFAP.As measured by ADCOMS, 92% of patients (combined data of n=13) had stable or improved cognitive funct
