BOSTON, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CervoMed Announces New Clinical, Plasma Biomarker and Imaging Data at AAIC 2026 for Neflamapimod in the Treatment of Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) New analyses of Phase 2b clinical trial reinforce treatment effect of neflamapimod observed relative to placebo in "pure" DLB and support selection of 50 mg TID for planned Phase 3 study in DLB Neflamapimod produced durable slowing of basal forebrain atrophy and increased basal forebrain connectivity relative to placebo in trial, reinforcing the basal forebrain as a key therapeutic target in DLB New Phase 2 study showed an 80 mg twice-daily dose of neflamapimod met its primary safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic objectives, with encouraging secondary findings on clinical activity BOSTON, July 14, 2026 — CervoMed Inc. (NASDAQ: CRVO) (CervoMed or the Company) presented new analyses this week highlighting insights into neflamapimod's treatment effects in DLB at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) 2026 in London. The analyses included treatment effects during the placebo-controlled portion of CervoMed's Phase 2b clinical trial, as well as the impact of achieving higher plasma drug concentrations relative to placebo during the trial's extension phase. They also included pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) relationships for neflamapimod and its effects on MRI measures of the underlying disease process in DLB. "The analyses presented at AAIC provide consistent evidence across clinical, plasma biomarker, and imaging studies that neflamapimod has the potential to address the underlying cause of DLB and sharpen our understanding of the optimal dosing strategies to help achieve this outcome," said Dr. John Alam, Chief Executive Officer of CervoMed. "These studies provide important insights for the implementation of neflamapimod's planned Phase 3 trial, and we're thrilled to be able to share them with the DLB community." Data presented at the conference included new analyses from the 159-patient Phase 2b RewinD-LB trial of neflamapimod, a 16-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study followed by a 32-week neflamapimod-only extension, as well as additional preclinical and clinical studies. Collectively, these analyses span neflamapimod's effects on disease progression, biomarkers of neurodegeneration, and basal forebrain atrophy in DLB, along with the first data on the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity of an 80 mg twice-daily (BID) dose. Analyses Reinforce Observed Treatment Effect of Neflamapimod in "Pure" DLB and Support Planned Phase 3 Dose
