Previous report

We are a clinical stage biotechnology company with a mission to make degenerative brain disorders history. Our robust portfolio of therapies is focused on counteracting the devastating progression of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in areas of high unmet need where therapeutic options are limited. We are at the forefront of a scientific and clinical revolution, committed to understanding the complex mechanisms that drive neurodegenerative diseases, including the roles of toxic misfolded proteins, deficient proteins, and lysosomal, immune system, and neuronal dysfunction.

Previous report

We aim to develop product candidates that remove toxic proteins, replace critical deficient proteins, and restore immune and nerve cells to normal function. To pursue this aim, we are advancing a portfolio of programs that address genetically validated targets. These programs leverage our deep understanding of the genetic underpinnings of these diseases, combined with our expertise in drug development, proprietary protein engineering, antibody discovery, and our innovative Alector Brain Carrier (ABC) technology for blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport. We are advancing ABC, our proprietary, versatile BBB technology platform, and selectively applying it within our portfolio. ABC aims to enhance the delivery of therapeutics, achieve deeper brain penetration and efficacy at lower doses, and ultimately improve patient outcomes while reducing costs.

Previous report

With a singular focus on transforming brain health, our research and drug discovery engine enables us to identify targets and develop a broad portfolio of product candidates validated by human genetics. These candidates, including those utilizing ABC technology, are designed to cross the BBB in sufficient quantity and potency to enable efficacious delivery to the brain and engage the intended targets. We seek to identify and develop biomarkers and biomarker assays that can accurately identify signs of a disease or condition, assist us in selecting the right patient population, demonstrate target and pathway engagement, and measure the impact of our product candidates on disease progression. We believe this may improve the probability of technical success over shorter development timelines.

Previous report

Nivisnebart (formerly AL101/GSK4527226) is currently in clinical development. We are pursuing our brain-penetrant anti-amyloid beta antibody in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and our GCase enzyme replacement therapy in Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Previous report

In July 2021, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Glaxo Wellcome UK Limited, a subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK Agreement), to collaborate on the global development and commercialization of progranulin (PGRN)-elevating monoclonal antibodies, including latozinemab and nivisnebart.

Previous report

On October 21, 2025, we announced topline results from the INFRONT-3 Phase 3 clinical trial of latozinemab, a novel investigational progranulin-elevating human mAb, for the potential treatment of frontotemporal dementia due to FTD-GRN. Latozinemab did not meet the clinical co-primary endpoint of slowing FTD-GRN progression, as measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating®plus National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration Sum of Boxes (CDR® plus NACC FTLD-SB). Although treatment resulted in a statistically significant effect on the biomarker co-primary endpoint of plasma progranulin (PGRN) concentrations, the secondary and exploratory endpoints, such as fluid biomarkers and volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (vMRI), demonstrated no treatment-related effects on FTD-GRN. Preliminary safety data have not highlighted any major safety concerns at present. More in-depth analysis of the data is ongoing. Based on these results, the open-label extension portion of the INFRONT-3 trial and the continuation study for latozinemab will be discontinued.

Previous report

Nivisnebart is an investigational human recombinant monoclonal antibody designed to elevate PGRN levels in the brain. Its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties may be suitable for treating prevalent neurodegenerative diseases. We and GSK are co-developing nivisnebart for the potential treatment of early AD, and it may also be evaluated for other indications, including PD. LOF mutations in the GRN gene, which moderately reduce PGRN levels, have been shown to increase the risk of developing AD and PD. Conversely, increased PGRN levels have been demonstrated to be protective for those diseases in animal models. Given the strong link between GRNLOF mutations and neurodegeneration, elevating PGRN levels may provide a potential therapeutic approach that offers broad neuroprotection in both AD and PD.

Previous report

In April 2025, enrollment was completed in PROGRESS-AD, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 76-week Phase 2 global clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of nivisnebart in slowing disease progression in early AD. Trial completion is expected in 2026. An independent interim analysis is planned for the first half of 2026. In August 2025, the first patient from PROGRESS-AD was enrolled and dosed in the optional open-label extension (OLE) study, and enrollment in the OLE is ongoing. In May 2023, we and GSK amended the GSK Agreement (the GSK Amendment). Under the terms of the GSK Amendment, we are responsible for funding and sharing GSK’s and our development costs up to $140.5 million for the conduct of the initial Phase 2 trial of nivisnebart in early AD.

Previous report

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study in 88 healthy volunteers who received either single or multiple doses of nivisnebart administered intravenously or subcutaneously, nivisnebart was generally well tolerated and elevated PGRN levels in cerebrospinal fluid.

Previous report

We have selected AL137 as a lead candidate, with AL037 as our back-up candidate, and we are targeting submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application in 2026.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses were $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $4.3 million was mainly driven by the absence of impairment charges related to the right-of-use asset and leasehold improvements recognized in the third quarter of 2024. No comparable impairment occurred in the current period. Additionally, personnel-related costs declined as a result of the reductions in force.

Previous report

Collaboration revenue was $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $46.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $31.5 million decrease was mainly due to the satisfaction of the performance obligation associated with the AL002 program and the latozinemab FTD-C9orf72 Phase 2 trial in the fourth quarter of 2024. Revenues are recognized as the program costs are incurred by measuring actual costs incurred to date compared to the overall total expected costs to satisfy the performance obligation.

Previous report

Research and development expenses were $90.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $139.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $48.9 million was mainly due to a decrease in research and development expenses for the AL002 program and latozinemab program as well as a decrease in personnel related costs as a result of the reductions in force.

Previous report

Other income, net was $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $10.1 million was due to lower interest income from a reduction in marketable securities used to fund our operations and interest rate cuts.

Previous report

There was no income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Reworded paragraphs (33)

Previous wording

We have expanded and continue to advance our preclinical and research pipeline by leveraging our expertise in neuroscience and selectively applying our proprietary blood-brain barrier technology platform, Alector Brain Carrier (ABC). Built on the core design principles of versatility, tunability, and differentiated binding to a distinct region of the transferrin receptor (TfR), ABC is intended to support the targeted delivery of therapeutics to the brain and to optimize safety and efficacy. The platform’s tunable TfR binding affinities allow adjustment of binding strength to align with the needs of diverse therapeutic cargos, including antibodies, enzymes, proteins, and siRNA, aiming to achieve efficient transport across the BBB with the goal of balancing brain uptake, potency, and safety. Our ABC platform that has been applied to our product candidates thus far targets a distinct epitope of TfR. Our strategic approach positions us to develop therapeutic candidates for a range of neurodegenerative diseases.

Current wording

A key component of our strategy is the development and application of our Alector Brain Carrier (ABC) platform, a proprietary blood-brain barrier (BBB) delivery technology designed to improve central nervous system exposure across multiple therapeutic modalities. Built on the core design principles of versatility, translatability, and differentiated binding to a distinct region of the transferrin receptor (TfR), ABC is intended to support the targeted delivery of therapeutics to the brain and to optimize their safety and efficacy at lower doses. With a wide range of TfR binding affinities and binding kinetics, and the ability to target a distinct epitope of TfR, the platform can be aligned with the requirements of diverse therapeutic cargos, including antibodies, enzymes, proteins, and siRNA. The platform’s TfR binding domain is further adaptable to diverse engineered formats, enabling broad applicability to our product candidates. By leveraging these proprietary features, we aim to achieve efficient transport of our product candidates across the BBB with the goal of balancing brain uptake, potency, and safety. This next generation pipeline, built on the ABC platform and distinct from our prior clinical programs, positions us to develop therapeutic candidates for a range of neurodegenerative diseases.

Previous wording

AL137 is our proprietary anti-amyloid beta (Aβ) antibody paired with our proprietary ABC in preclinical development for the potential treatment of AD. It is designed to remove brain Aβ plaques, with the potential to reduce the incidence and/or severity of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) and the potential to enable subcutaneous delivery. AL137 features a high-affinity, humanized antibody that selectively binds PyroGlu3, a validated epitope on the toxic form of Aβ found in plaques, a fully active effector function that enables maximal recruitment of myeloid cells to remove plaques, and Alector’s proprietary ABC with tuned affinity and binding epitope designed to facilitate brain penetration and plaque removal while minimizing hematologic adverse effects. In preclinical studies to date, AL137 has demonstrated robust brain penetration in non-human primates, and an AL137 surrogate has demonstrated amyloid beta 42 reduction in murine studies.

Current wording

Our AL037/AL137 program, which pairs our proprietary anti-amyloid beta (Aβ) antibody with our proprietary ABC platform, is in preclinical development for Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is designed to remove brain Aβ plaques, with the goal of minimizing treatment-related incidence and/or severity of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), and to enable subcutaneous delivery. AL037 and AL137 each feature the same high-affinity, fully human antibody that selectively binds PyroGlu3, a validated epitope on the toxic form of Aβ found in plaques, and a fully active effector function that enables maximal recruitment of myeloid cells to remove plaques. AL037 and AL137 both incorporate Alector’s proprietary ABC, with TfR binding domains that bind the same epitope on TfR but with different affinities and binding kinetics, to balance brain penetration and plaque removal with minimized hematologic adverse effects. In preclinical studies to date, AL037 and AL137 have demonstrated robust brain penetration in non-human primates, and a murine surrogate of AL037/AL137 has demonstrated amyloid beta 42 reduction in murine studies.

Previous wording

AL050 is a GCase enzyme replacement therapy paired with our proprietary ABC in preclinical development for the potential treatment of Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia in patients having GBA1 gene mutations that lead to deficient GCase activity. AL050 features an engineered GCase with improved activity and stability, a silenced effector function to maximize safety, and Alector’s tunable ABC with a TfR epitope and affinity designed to enhance delivery across the BBB. An AL050 surrogate was shown in vivo to rescue GCase activity in GBA1 deficient mice. This mechanism aims to reduce cellular dysfunction and slow disease progression. In preclinical studies to date, AL050 increased GCase activity in both rodents and non-human primates, and reduced toxic substrate accumulation in a rodent GBA disease model with no apparent hematologic findings, supporting its potential as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia associated with GBA loss-of-function mutations.

Current wording

AL050 is a glucocerebrosidase (GCase) enzyme replacement therapy paired with our proprietary ABC technology in preclinical development for Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia in patients having GBA1 gene mutations that lead to reduced GCase activity. AL050 features an engineered GCase with improved activity and stability, a silenced effector function to maximize safety, and Alector’s ABC with a TfR epitope and affinity designed to enhance delivery across the BBB. This mechanism aims to reduce cellular dysfunction and slow disease progression. In preclinical studies to date, AL050 doubled GCase activity in different brain regions in non-human primates without observed adverse effects, including hematologic effects. In a GBA disease mouse model, AL050 surrogate rescued GCase activity and reduced toxic substrate accumulation without abnormal hematologic findings. These data support the potential of AL050 as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Lewy body dementia (LBD) associated with GBA loss of function mutations, and subsequently for idiopathic PD and LBD.

Previous wording

We have selected AL050 as a lead candidate, and we are targeting submission of an IND application in 2027.

The platform is designed for peripheral dosing, offering the potential for more convenient administration compared with traditional intrathecal delivery, as well as the potential for homogeneous drug distribution throughout the brain. Current programs include AL064/AL164, our tau siRNA program for AD and other tauopathies. AL064/AL164 aims to prevent the synthesis of tau mRNA and protein, with the goal of removing toxic tau, suppressing tau protein expression, and slowing cognitive decline in AD. AL064 demonstrated robust tau mRNA knockdown and durable reduction of phospho-Tau 217 in NHP brains. AL064 was modified to incorporate a well-validated chemical modification intended to further optimize siRNA stability, and this modified form of AL064 is advancing into IND-enabling studies as AL164. In addition to AL164, we are advancing early-stage siRNA programs toward lead candidate selection, including ADP062-ABC, an alpha-synuclein siRNA for PD, and ADP065-ABC, an NLRP3 siRNA for multiple neurodegenerative conditions. Together, those programs reflect the broad applicability of the ABC platform across disease mechanisms. We continue to evolve our research and development plans and timing for each of our ABC-enabled siRNA programs.

Our primary uses of cash are to fund our operations, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures related to our programs, and to a lesser extent, general and administrative expenditures. We expect our expenses relating to latozinemab and AL002 to decrease in the foreseeable future as a result of the discontinuation and wind-down of clinical trials for latozinemab and AL002. However, we continue to invest in research and development activities related to programs in our research and preclinical pipeline and the advancement of those programs into clinical trials. In addition, we expect to incur costs associated with operating as a public company.

Previous wording

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will enable us to fund our operations and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2027. We reduced our workforce to better align our resources with our current strategic priorities and maintain our expectations with respect to our ability to fund our operations. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. We may also choose to seek additional financing opportunistically. We may seek to raise capital through public equity or debt financings, license agreements, collaborative agreements or other arrangements with other companies, asset sales, or through other sources of financing. We have an omnibus shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which became effective on May 1, 2023, which permits us to issue up to $400 million in common stock, other equity securities and/or debt securities. We will need to obtain substantial additional funding in the future for our research and development activities and continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on favorable terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts.
