Actinogen Medical is an ASX-listed Australian biotech developing its lead asset Xanamem, a specific and selective 11beta-HSD1 inhibitor designed to treat cognitive impairment (CI), which occurs in chronic neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases.

The unmet need in chronic neurocognitive disorders is tremendous due to the limited effectiveness of available treatment options. The Phase IIb/III XanaMIA trial will be key for validating the encouraging Xanamem AD data shown to date.

Actinogen’s Xanamem is a once-daily oral selective 11beta-HSD1 inhibitor, designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and target excess brain cortisol, which has been associated with cognitive impairment in chronic brain conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Positive results in healthy adults demonstrated the drug’s initial efficacy, while an analysis of biomarker-positive (pTau-181) patients using plasma samples from the previous XanADu study in mild AD also showed clinical activity using the validated CDR-SB scale. Actinogen’s Phase IIb/III XanaMIA trial in patients with biomarker-confirmed early AD is underway, and it plans to report interim data in mid CY25. Given the completion of the A$11.1m capital raising announced in September, Actinogen expects to be fully funded through this trial’s completion in mid CY26. It is also evaluating Xanamem as a treatment for depression symptoms in major depressive disorder, following positive efficacy signals shown in the Phase IIa XanaCIDD study.
