Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by abnormal tau protein accumulation. This perspective article explores AZP2006 (INN: Ezeprogind), a novel small molecule targeting the Progranulin (PGRN) and Prosaposin (PSAP) axis to enhance lysosomal health in PSP treatment. AZP2006 stabilizes the PGRN-PSAP complex, improving lysosomal function and reducing tau pathology. Preclinical studies in tauopathy models demonstrated AZP2006's ability to decrease tau hyperphosphorylation, enhance neuronal survival, mitigate neuroinflammation and promote synaptogenesis. Clinical trials have shown AZP2006 to be well-tolerated in healthy volunteers and PSP patients. A Phase 2a study met its primary endpoints, as it provided valuable safety data and even encouraged further investigation of its efficacy in a larger clinical study. An upcoming Phase 2b/3 trial aims to assess long-term safety and efficacy in a larger PSP cohort. AZP2006's mechanism of action strongly suggests potential applications in other tauopathies, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. By addressing lysosomal dysfunction and tau pathology, AZP2006 represents a promising disease-modifying approach for PSP and other neurodegenerative disorders.
