Alterity Therapeutics Ltd Stock Price, News & Analysis

Alterity Therapeutics (ASX: ATH, NASDAQ: ATHE) announced findings from the bioMUSE study at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting, showcasing wearable sensors' effectiveness in quantifying motor impairment in patients with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). The analysis involved 17 participants and indicated a strong correlation between sensor parameters and traditional clinical assessments of motor impairment. This data is significant for future clinical trials, as wearable sensors will be integrated as secondary endpoints in the ongoing Phase 2 trial of ATH434. ATH434 aims to address neurodegeneration and has shown promise in preclinical studies. The ongoing research is pivotal for understanding MSA's progression and optimizing treatment methods.

Alterity Therapeutics (ATHE) has initiated its Phase 2 clinical trial for ATH434 in the UK, targeting Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a rare neurodegenerative disorder. This trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study intended to evaluate ATH434's effects on neuroimaging and protein biomarkers. With the first UK participant dosed, the trial aims to enroll approximately 60 adults over 12 months, focusing on efficacy and safety. ATH434 has shown preclinical promise and is acknowledged with Orphan designation by the U.S. FDA and European Commission for MSA treatment, indicating significant therapeutic potential for this debilitating condition.

Alterity Therapeutics (ASX: ATH, NASDAQ: ATHE) announced the dosing of the first participant in its Phase 2 clinical trial of ATH434 for Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) on March 16, 2023.
