BOSTON, Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CervoMed Inc. (NASDAQ: CRVO), a clinical-stage company focused on developing treatments for age-related neurologic disorders, today announced that it will deliver an oral presentation providing detailed safety and efficacy results from its completed RewinD-LB Phase 2b clinical trial of neflamapimod in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) at the eighth International Lewy Body Dementia Conference (ILBDC) taking place on January 29-31, 2025 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

“As we await topline results from the RewinD-LB Phase 2b trial in DLB, we are extremely encouraged by the scientific community’s interest in the data and pleased to have an opportunity to present them at the leading scientific conference dedicated to Lewy Body Dementia,” said John Alam, MD, Chief Executive Officer of CervoMed. “There are currently no approved therapies for DLB, and the dementia clinical research community has a strong interest in the ongoing RewinD-LB Phase 2b study and its potential beneficial impact to patients and families. Topline results for RewinD-LB are expected to be disclosed in December 2024 and we are also presenting data on RewinD-LB baseline patient characteristics at the upcoming Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease Conference (CTAD). Based on our preliminary analyses, we are confident that we have optimized RewinD-LB trial design to detect a statistically significant and clinically meaningful difference between neflamapimod and placebo.”
