UB-311 is a vaccine targeting β-amyloid and hence anti-amyloid agent which is under development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.[2][3] It is under development by Vaxxinity.[2] Meningoencephalitis has been described as a possible side effect of the drug.[4] As of February 2024, the drug is in phase 2 clinical trials.[2] In May 2022, UB-311 received fast-track designation for Alzheimer's disease from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[3]
