Per the company, treatment with the candidate demonstrated a safe and effective improvement in motor and non-motor activities and improved cognitive functions in patients with early PD.\nAnnovis’ shares surged 76.1% on Jul 2 following the encouraging news. Buntanetap, an orally available small molecule, has a unique mechanism of action that allows the candidate to reverse neurodegeneration by inhibiting the formation of multiple neurotoxic proteins, including amyloid beta, tau, alpha-synuclein and TDP43.\nPlease note that the phase III study was completed in December 2023, with an original plan for data announcement in the first quarter of 2024. Due to a delay in the process of organizing and cleaning data, Annovis announced the unblinding of the phase III PD study data in May 2024 followed by the top-line efficacy and safety data in the latest press release.\nIt was observed that patients who were diagnosed with PD for less than three years showed minimal or no deficits in MDS-UPDRS Part II, the primary endpoint of the phase III study, complicating the assessment of treatment effectiveness. However, in those patients who were diagnosed for more than three years, 20mg of buntanetap significantly improved MDS-UPDRS Part II, Part III, Part II+III and Total scores compared with placebo and baseline.\nFurthermore, patients with postural instability and gait difficulty (PIGD) treated with buntanetap showed significant improvements in MDS-UPDRS Part II, Part III, Part II-III and Total scores. Since PIGD progresses faster than in other PD patients, these patients responded better to buntanetap and showed greater improvements compared with other PD patients.\nAdditionally, in the phase III PD study, the placebo group experienced cognitive deterioration, while both treatment groups (10mg and 20mg of buntanetap) maintained baseline cognitive levels, demonstrating a statistically significant effect in halting cognitive decline. Among patients with mild dementia, cognitive deterioration occurred more rapidly in the placebo group compared with the 10mg buntanetap group, as measured by the exploratory endpoint of MMSE 20-26. On the other hand, treatment with 20mg buntanetap significantly improved cognition compared with placebo.\nYear to date, shares of ANVS have plunged 50.4% compared with the industry’s 6.3% decline.\nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nIn the same press release, Annovis clarified that although MDS-UPDRS Part II+III was initially chosen as the primary endpoint of the phase III PD study, MDS-UPDRS Part II alone was later deemed more appropriate for reflecting clinically relevant changes, based on FDA feedback. Therefore, the company adjusted its primary endpoint to MDS-UPDRS Part II with MDS-UPDRS Part III as a key secondary endpoint.\nPer Annovis, the encouraging data readout from the late-stage PD study supports advancing buntanetap into a longer-period study to verify symptomatic improvements and explore its potential disease-modifying properties.\nWe remind the investors that the company is also evaluating buntanetap for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the first half of 2024, Annovis reported positive results from a phase II/III study of the candidate for the treatment of patients with AD.\nAnnovis expects to discuss the AD data with the FDA soon and initiate an 18-month pivotal phase III study to confirm and expand these findings, focusing on biomarker-positive early AD patients. The company aims to complete the necessary pivotal studies for buntanetap by the end of 2026 and consequently file two new drug applications with the FDA for the AD and PD indications.\nApart from AD and PD, Annovis is also simultaneously evaluating the candidate for the treatment of other neurological indications in separate early-stage studies. The company’s pipeline also comprises two other investigational candidates, which are currently in early to mid-stage development for several other neurodegenerative diseases.\nZacks Rank and Other Stocks to Consider\nAnnovis currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).\nSome other top-ranked stocks from the drug/biotech industryworth mentioning are ALX Oncology Holdings ALXO, Aligos Therapeutics, Inc. ALGS and Compugen CGEN, each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 at present.
