Competitive Landscape
In Alzheimer's, BioArctic (via Eisai) competes directly with Lilly's donanemab. In Parkinson's, its BrainTransporter™-enabled BAN2802 will compete against other alpha-synuclein-targeting antibodies from companies like Prothena and UCB. The core platform also faces competition from other BBB shuttle technologies, such as Denali Therapeutics' TV platform.
