CervoMed to Deliver Late-Breaking Oral Presentations at the 17th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease Conference (CTAD)

 

Plasma biomarker data from AscenD-LB Phase 2a study and baseline data from the RewinD-LB Phase 2b study to be featured in late-breaking oral presentations at CTAD

 

Boston, September 26, 2024 CervoMed Inc. (NASDAQ: CRVO), a clinical-stage company focused on developing treatments for age-related neurologic disorders, today announced that it will deliver two oral presentations that inform on the potential of neflamapimod as a treatment for patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease Conference (CTAD) taking place October 29 – November 1, 2024, in Madrid, Spain.

 

“We are delighted that both of our abstracts have been accepted as late-breaking oral presentations at this year’s CTAD,” said John Alam, MD, Chief Executive Officer of CervoMed. “This recognition by the conference scientific committee, whom we thank, reflects both the urgent need to address the impact of DLB on patients and their families and the importance of the ongoing RewinD-LB Phase 2b study to the dementia clinical research community.”

 

Dr. Alam continued, “The baseline data from RewinD-LB demonstrates the disease burden at study entry is consistent with our expectations when we designed and powered the study. Additionally, the plasma biomarker data indicate that neflamapimod acts on the underlying disease process in DLB. Combined, the findings being reported in the two presentations increase our confidence in the RewinD-LB trial’s positive outcome. We look forward to reporting the topline data from RewinD-LB in December of this year.”

 

Details of the CTAD presentations are as follows:

 

Abstract Title: Plasma biomarker data indicates clinical activity of neflamapimod in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is mediated through effects on the basal forebrain cholinergic system
Format: Oral Presentation
Session Name: Late Breaking Oral Communications
Session Date and Time: Friday, November 1, 2024, 11:15 am CET

Session Date and Time: Friday, November 1, 2024, 4:40 pm CET
