Core Insights - CervoMed Inc. presented 32-week data from the Extension phase of its Phase 2b RewinD-LB trial, focusing on oral neflamapimod for patients with Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) [1][2] Group 1: Trial Results - The Extension phase demonstrated that neflamapimod continued to slow disease progression and positively affected a key plasma marker of neurodegeneration in DLB patients [2] - At Week 32, there was a statistically significant reduction in GFAP plasma levels in patients receiving New Capsules, with a mean change of -18.4±4.0 pg/mL for all participants (N=107) and -21.2±4.4 pg/mL for those with screening plasma ptau181 below 2.2 pg/mL (N=91) [4][5] - Placebo recipients in the initial phase showed a mean increase in GFAP levels of +1.1±3.0 pg/mL for all participants (N=74) and +1.1±3.3 pg/mL for the subset with screening plasma ptau181 below 2.2 pg/mL (N=65) [5] Group 2: Safety and Tolerability - Both Old and New Capsules exhibited comparable tolerability profiles, with no new safety signals identified during the Extension phase [5] - A lower incidence of falls was observed in participants with screening ptau181 < 2.2 pg/mL who received New Capsules compared to those receiving Old Capsules or placebo, with significant p-values indicating statistical relevance (p=0.025 vs. Old Capsules; p=0.007 vs. placebo) [5] Group 3: Market Reaction - Following the announcement of the trial results, CRVO stock increased by 29.4%, reaching $11.62 [6]
