Core Insights - Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. is set to present biomarker results from the Phase 2 SHINE study of zervimesine (CT1812) for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease at the AD/PD 2025 Conference in Vienna, Austria from April 1-5, 2025 [1] - The presentation will focus on key proteins, or biomarkers, collected from blood samples, including neurofilament light (NfL) chain, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), amyloid beta (Aβ), and tau species (p-Tau217 and p-Tau218), which are associated with Alzheimer's disease progression [2] Company Overview - Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecule therapeutics for age-related degenerative disorders of the central nervous system [4] - The company is currently investigating zervimesine (CT1812) in clinical programs for dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer's disease, including the ongoing START study in early Alzheimer's disease [4] - Zervimesine is believed to regulate impaired pathways in these diseases through its interaction with the sigma-2 receptor, which represents a distinct mechanism from other treatment approaches [4] Presentation Details - Dr. Mary Hamby will present findings from the SHINE study, highlighting the impact of zervimesine on disease biology through biomarker changes compared to placebo [3] - The presentation will include several key topics: 1. Positive impact of CT1812 treatment on plasma biomarkers in a lower p-tau217 subgroup [3] 2. CSF proteomic biomarker analysis identifying effects of CT1812 in Alzheimer's disease [3] 3. Identification of CSF proteins correlating with cognitive outcomes in the SHINE study participants [3] 4. Molecular correlates with CT1812 treatment-related decrease in NfL CSF levels [3]
