Cognition Therapeutics: Shines Less Bright After Phase 2 Results In Alzheimer's Disease

Summary Cognition Therapeutics' stock dropped over 40% after Phase 2 trial results for Alzheimer's disease. Results showed cognitive benefit but fading statistical significance over time. CT1812 did not outperform placebo on all rating scales over 3-6 months, raising concerns for future milestones and larger trials. Financial reliance on NIH grants poses risks, and ongoing trials in dementia with Lewy Bodies, Alzheimer's and dry AMD have the potential for further stock decline.

Cognition Therapeutics: Approaching Phase 2 Readout In Alzheimer's

Summary Cognition Therapeutics is set to report topline data from its Phase 2 trial in Alzheimer's disease in mid-2024. CT1812, the company's lead drug candidate, is a sigma-2 receptor antagonist for Alzheimer's and aims to prevent the binding of toxic Aβ oligomers. Preliminary data from the ongoing SHINE trial showed some interesting results, but were not consistent with other previous studies, raising caution about the upcoming data. At a ~$70 million market cap with about half of that cash, the topline readout could be a binary event for the stock. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Cognition stock rises 12% on $2.14M grant from NIH for Alzheimer's study

Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CGTX) said it received a $2.14M grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to help complete an ongoing study of CT1812 in adults with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. The study called SEQUEL will evaluate if CT1812 results in a normalization of the EEG patterns.

Cognition's Alzheimer's candidate demonstrates mechanism of action; shares soar

An analysis of biomarker data from Cognition Therapeutics' (NASDAQ:CGTX) Alzheimer's disease candidate CT1812 indicate the oral once-daily treatment supports a synaptoprotective mechanism of action and has a role in normalizing cellular processes. Proteomic analyses demonstrated CT1812's impact on several Alzheimer's biomarkers, including YKL-40, which is an indicator of inflammation and is upregulated in the disease. Results showed that participants given CT-1812 saw declining levels of YKL-40. The candidate also had a significant impact on cerebrospinal fluid levels of clusterin, a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's. Cognition closed up 62% on Thursday but is down 16% in Friday premarket trading.
