Cognition Therapeutics will present in vitro results on the role of sigma-2 receptors and the effect of their drug candidate CT1812 on dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) at the upcoming ARVO meeting in New Orleans from April 23-27.
CT1812, an orally delivered small molecule, targets sigma-2 receptors and shows potential in modulating biological pathways affected by dry AMD, including immune response and cell survival. The detailed findings will be showcased in poster #C0072 during the conference.
The company is also preparing for a Phase 2 clinical trial of CT1812 for geographic atrophy linked to dry AMD, with clinical site selection currently underway. The drug is under investigation for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies as well.
Cognition Therapeutics announced the publication of a review article in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences discussing the mechanistic rationale for sigma-2 receptor modulation in age-related degenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. The article highlights the role of the sigma-2 receptor in neuronal function and its potential as a therapeutic target. Cognition's lead compound, CT1812, aims to advance to Phase 2 clinical trials. The study focuses on restoring synaptic health by targeting cellular processes impaired by neurodegenerative diseases. Cognition’s strategy underscores the unique mechanism of CT1812 in addressing significant unmet medical needs in neurodegeneration.
