CervoMed Announces Publication of Two Peer-Reviewed Research Articles Supporting Neflamapimod as a Potential Treatment for Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB)
Key Highlights
- ➤Phase 2b trial failed to confirm Phase 2a primary CDR-SB results overall
- ➤MRI showed statistically significant right basal forebrain volume increase versus placebo
- ➤Greater CDR-SB benefit occurred in patients without Alzheimer’s co-pathology
- ➤Target trough concentrations near 4 ng/mL correlated with clinical activity
- ➤CervoMed plans strategic partnering to fund a potential Phase 3 DLB trial
Expert Statements
John-Paul Taylor, Professor of Translational Dementia Research at Newcastle University and chief investigator of the RewinD-LB trial
“The placebo-controlled RewinD-LB data set, together with the Phase 2a results, provides encouraging evidence that neflamapimod may be an effective treatment for DLB and that further clinical evaluation is warranted.”
John-Paul Taylor, Professor of Translational Dementia Research at Newcastle University and chief investigator of the RewinD-LB trial
“Taken together, these two important publications suggest that neflamapimod may be able to act on the underlying disease processes in DLB and make a meaningful difference for patients and caregivers who currently have limited therapeutic options.”
John Alam, Founder and CEO of CervoMed
“These publications demonstrate beneficial effects of neflamapimod on clinical endpoints and biomarkers of the underlying disease process that follow a consistent plasma drug-response relationship, with activity most evident at trough plasma concentrations of approximately 4 ng/mL or higher.”
John Alam, Founder and CEO of CervoMed
“We believe the alignment of clinical, biomarker, and imaging findings supports further development, particularly in patients without Alzheimer’s disease co-pathology, and reinforces the rationale for a 100 mg twice-daily dose using the new tablet formulation.”
John Alam, Founder and CEO of CervoMed
“This regimen is projected to achieve target trough concentrations in more than 90% of participants, providing more consistent drug exposure within the range associated with clinical activity in our prior clinical trials without substantially increasing peak concentrations or overall exposure.”
Placebo-controlled results of RewinD-LB clinical trial published in Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy provides further evidence of the potential of neflamapimod to slow clinical disease progression in DLB
Translational research findings published in Cells demonstrate that neflamapimod blocks a key mechanism by which neuroinflammation damages neurons in DLB and other neurodegenerative diseases
