SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 07, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROP; OTCQX: RHHBY), announced today that it will present new data from its Alzheimer's disease portfolio at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference® 2026 (AAIC®) in London on July 12-15. These data demonstrate how Genentech and Roche are advancing the development of next-generation medicines and diagnostic tests, driven by a mission to slow, stop or even prevent the progression of Alzheimer's disease. In total, there are 18 oral and poster presentations. Highlights include five oral presentations as part of a trontinemab Featured Research Session, an oral Perspectives Session on neuroimmune targets such as NLRP3 for neurodegenerative diseases, and presentations on the use of Roche's Elecsys® pTau217 and pTau181 blood tests to support Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. "We aim to bring together advanced diagnostics and transformative medicines, with the goal of benefitting many Alzheimer's patients through earlier detection and intervention," said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. "Our presentations at AAIC will feature data from our expanding Alzheimer's disease portfolio, including investigational trontinemab, neuroinflammatory approaches and blood-based diagnostics." "With the approval of Elecsys pTau217, our third Alzheimer's blood test, across both primary and secondary care, we are making timely and definitive diagnosis more accessible than ever before," said Matt Sause, CEO of Roche Diagnostics. "For too long, this has been out of reach for the vast majority of patients. As a result, millions have been left without the answers, care and support they need. That is now changing, as blood-based testing transforms the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease." Pharmaceuticals Trontinemab Featured Research Session A 90-minute Featured Research Session will showcase five oral presentations focused on the latest progress in the development of trontinemab, an investigational BrainshuttleTM bispecific 2+1 amyloid-beta targeting monoclonal antibody. Presenters will share new long-term safety, amyloid removal and biomarker data from the Phase Ib/IIa Brainshuttle AD open-label extension study. Modeling from this study has informed the dosing regimen for the ongoing Phase III TRONTIER 1 and 2 studies in early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease.
