(NASDAQ: CGTX), a clinical-stage company developing drugs that treat neurodegenerative disorders, reported topline results today from the Phase 2 COG2201 ‘MAGNIFY’ trial of zervimesine (CT1812) in adults with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD). The results show zervimesine-treated participants had 28.6% slower GA lesion growth on average and at 18 months, their lesions were 28.2% smaller compared to placebo. The MAGNIFY study (NCT05893537) was concluded, after approximately 100 of the planned 246 participants were enrolled.","length":662,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"“To date, we have observed evidence of robust slowing of disease progression with zervimesine treatment in Phase 2 studies in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies,” explained Anthony O. Caggiano, MD, PhD, Cognition Therapeutics’ chief medical officer and head of R&D. “These results in dry AMD represent yet another indication in which zervimesine has potential to slow the progression of disease with a once-daily oral pill. Compared to current treatment options, which require regular clinic visits for intravitreal injections, an effective oral treatment that patients can take at home would be truly transformative.”","length":637,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content...
