Cognition Therapeutics Says Study of Drug to Treat Lewy Body Dementia Meets Primary Endpoint; Shares Jump

MT Newswires Live12-18

Cognition Therapeutics (CGTX) said Wednesday that a phase 2 study of CT1812 to treat patients with Lewy body dementia met its primary endpoint of safety and tolerability.

The drug produced "strong therapeutic responses across behavioral, functional, cognitive and movement measures" in patients who received the treatment for six months, compared to placebo.

The results showed a 82% slowing in neuropsychiatric inventory decline and a 91% reduction in attention fluctuations, while reducing anxiety, hallucinations and delusions, Cognition said.

The company said it expects to review the results with the Food and Drug Administration in an end-of-phase 2 meeting and to advance CT1812 into late-stage trials.

Cognition Therapeutics shares were 135% higher in recent premarket trading.
