AC Immune to Showcase Neurodegenerative Disease Pipeline with Three Presentations at AAIC® 2026

Lausanne, Switzerland, July 7, 2026 -- AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering precision therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, today announces three presentations at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference® 2026, taking place July 12-15 in London, UK.

Across these AAIC presentations, we are showing how AC Immune’s Morphomer®-based small molecule approach has generated differentiated therapeutic and imaging assets. Our first-in-class TDP-43 PET tracer has generated encouraging early human imaging data in FTD and ALS; our novel brain-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor is in Phase 1 with a profile supporting an orally delivered CNS therapy; and our alpha-synuclein Morphomer® program demonstrates potent, brain-penetrant inhibition of pathology with in vivo neuroprotective effects. Together, these data reinforce the opportunity to build biomarker-led therapeutic programs for major neurodegenerative diseases.
