n. It is designed to instruct the patient’s immune system to produce an antibody response against angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a small peptide in the body and part of the so-called renin-angiotensin system (RAS), an important regulator of blood pressure. Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to narrow,
resulting in increased blood pressure. In a phase IIa clinical trial, vaccination with CYT006-AngQb has been shown to reduce blood pressure by induction of antibodies that bind angiotensin II. Thereby, binding of angiotensin II to its receptors and subsequent narrowing of blood vessels should be decreased. The RAS has already been successfully targeted by three major classes of antihypertensive drugs on the market: inhibitors of the angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE), antagonists of the angiotensin II type I receptor (ARBs) and renin inhibitors. Like other antihypertensive drugs these also come with the need for daily dosing and fail to provide a solution for improving patient compliance. Treatment with CYT006-AngQb should allow for convenient dosing schedules and smooth control of blood pressure due to a sustained antibody response induced by vaccination.
