Preclinical and first-in-human evaluation of VG-3927/SAR448851, an oral small-molecule TREM2 agonist for Alzheimer’s disease

Microglial dysfunction is increasingly implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis, with loss-of-function variants in the microglial receptor TREM2 as major risk factors for late-onset AD. We report VG-3927, an oral, CNS-penetrant small-molecule TREM2 agonist that engages...
