One year of treatment with ALZ-801 (valiltramiprosate) was found in a Phase 2 trial to improve cognition and lower the levels of disease biomarkers among people with early Alzheimer’s with one or two copies of the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) disease-associated genetic variant. Importantly, the investigational therapy from…
Nearly half of Alzheimer’s disease patients treated with TrueBinding’s investigational therapy TB006 for at least three months showed signs of disease reversal or cognitive improvement, according to data from an open-label extension (OLE) study. The findings expand on data from a completed Phase 2a trial (NCT05074498) that…
An innovation passport, the first step in the U.K.’s Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) — intended to accelerate the development and approval of new therapies that address an unmet medical need — has been awarded to AD04, ADvantage Therapeutics’ investigational immunotherapy for mild Alzheimer’s disease.
