News also covers NIH-related grant funding, cash runway commentary, and clinical-development plans tied to zervimesine’s use across central nervous system and retina indications.
Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CGTX) announced positive topline results from its Phase 2 'SHIMMER' study of CT1812 in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The study, which enrolled 130 patients with mild-to-moderate DLB, met its primary endpoint of safety and tolerability.
Key findings include:
- 82% slowing in total neuropsychiatric inventory with strong reduction in anxiety, hallucinations, and delusions
- Marked reduction in caregiver distress
- 91% decline in fluctuations in attention
- Improvements across behavioral, functional, cognitive, and movement measures
The company plans to advance CT1812 into late-stage trials, with detailed data to be presented at the International Lewy Body Dementia Conference in January 2025.
Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CGTX) announced the completion of final patient visits in their Phase 2 SHIMMER study evaluating CT1812 for mild-to-moderate dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The company expects to report topline results in December 2024. The study was conducted in partnership with the National Institute of Aging and the Lewy Body Dementia Association. The trial aims to assess CT1812's tolerability profile and identify efficacy signals in cognition and function measures for DLB patients.
Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CGTX) reported new biomarker analysis from their Phase 2 'SHINE' study in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. The analysis revealed that patients with lower baseline plasma p-tau217 levels treated with CT1812 showed a 95% reduction in cognitive decline compared to placebo, representing a 2.7-point improvement on ADAS-Cog11 over six months. The study demonstrated normalization of key Alzheimer's disease indicators, including reductions in GFAP (neuroinflammatory biomarker), NfL (neurodegenerative biomarker), and impacts on amyloid biology through reductions in Aβ42 and Aβ40 proteins. The company plans to present complete biomarker results at scientific conferences in 2025.
Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CGTX) reported significant results from its Phase 2 SHINE study, showing CT1812 slowed cognitive decline by 95% in Alzheimer's patients with lower p-tau217 levels. The company expects to report topline results from Phase 2 SHIMMER study in DLB patients by end of 2024. Financial results show cash position of $22.0 million as of September 30, 2024, with additional $53.6 million in NIA grant funds. Q3 2024 resulted in a net loss of $9.9 million, or $(0.25) per share, compared to $6.7 million loss in Q3 2023. R&D expenses were $11.4 million, slightly down from $11.7 million in the previous year.
Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CGTX) announced that CEO Lisa Ricciardi will present at the virtual Zacks SCR Life Sciences Investor Forum on November 14, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. ET. The presentation will highlight results from the successful Phase 2 'SHINE' study of CT1812 in Alzheimer's disease and provide updates on ongoing clinical programs, including the Phase 2 'SHIMMER' study in dementia with Lewy bodies. Topline results from 'SHIMMER' are expected by year-end 2024.
The live, interactive event will allow real-time Q&A with management. An archived webcast will be available on Cognition's Investor Relations webpage for those unable to attend live. Pre-registration is recommended for interested investors.
Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CGTX) presented baseline characteristics of participants in their Phase 2 'SHIMMER' study for dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) at the CTAD conference. The study includes 130 participants with these key characteristics: mean age of 72.8 years, 81.5% male, 91.5% white, with mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment. Participants showed mean scores of 24.0 for MMSE, 18.4 for MoCA, and various other clinical measurements indicating mild movement impairment and attention fluctuations consistent with DLB diagnosis. The company expects to announce study results later this year.
Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CGTX) presented promising results from their Phase 2 SHINE study of CT1812 in Alzheimer's disease patients at the CTAD conference. The study demonstrated significant cognitive benefits in patients with lower plasma p-tau217 levels, showing a 95% slowing of cognitive decline measured by ADAS-Cog 11 and a 108% slowing measured by MMSE. These results were observed in participants treated with CT1812 (pooled 100mg and 300mg doses).
Dr. Michael Woodward, presenting at CTAD, highlighted that these findings align with anti-amyloid immunotherapeutics' effectiveness in people with low p-tau. The company plans to discuss potential Phase 3 approaches with the FDA in an end-of-Phase 2 meeting.
