Cognition Therapeutics Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2024 and Provides Business and Clinical Update

Cognition Therapeutics Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2024 and Provides Business and Clinical Update
Cognition Therapeutics, Inc.

– CT1812 slowed cognitive decline by 95% in Alzheimer’s disease patients with lower levels of plasma p-tau217 in a pre-specified analysis from Phase 2 SHINE study presented at CTAD –

– On track to report topline results from Phase 2 SHIMMER study investigating CT1812 in patients with mild-to-moderate dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) by end of 2024 –

PURCHASE, N.Y., Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CGTX), a clinical-stage company developing product candidates that treat neurodegenerative disorders, (the “Company” or “Cognition”) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a business update.

“In the third quarter and recent weeks Cognition Therapeutics achieved one of the most important milestones in its history as the Phase 2 SHINE study results became available. Among the many findings in the SHINE study, new and compelling data presented at CTAD showed a near-total preservation of cognition (as measured by the ADAS-Cog11 and MMSE scales) in a sub-group of Alzheimer’s patients treated with CT1812 who had p-tau217 levels below median,” said Lisa Ricciardi, Cognition’s president and CEO. “We are moving rapidly to advance CT1812 in Alzheimer’s disease and plan to request an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA where we will review CT1812’s safety and tolerability profile as well as the totality of results from SHINE. We will seek alignment with the FDA on a pivotal Phase 3 program design in light of recent findings relating to lower levels of plasma p-tau217, an important biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease pathology easily measured with a blood test.”

Ms. Ricciardi concluded: “In addition to the substantial progress we have made with CT1812 in Alzheimer’s disease, we expect to report top-line results from our Phase 2 SHIMMER study in mild-to-moderate dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) by the end of this year. DLB is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, yet few therapies have been studied in this indication and no disease-modifying treatments exist. SHIMMER will deliver safety and tolerability data in a second indication and potentially provide insights to be integrated into a larger clinical study in this under-studied and under-represented population.”

Business and Corporate Highlights

  • Results of a pre-specified analysis from the Phase 2 SHINE study of CT1812 in participants with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease were presented in an oral session at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) conference

    • Patients with baseline levels of p-tau217 below the median showed a 95% slowing of cognitive decline on the ADAS-Cog11 scale and 108% slowing of cognitive decline on the MMSE scale*

    • Lower levels of plasma p‑tau217 are indicative of less advanced Alzheimer’s pathology, and we believe may identify patients likely to have a greater response to therapy

    • The CTAD presentation by Dr. Michael Woodward and an archive of investor webinar are available on the Cognition website

  • Baseline characteristics of participants enrolled in the Phase 2 SHIMMER study were also presented at CTAD, confirming enrollment of individuals with mild-to-moderate DLB

  • Continued enrollment in Phase 2 START study (NCT05531656) in early Alzheimer’s disease and Phase 2 MAGNIFY study (NCT05893537) in geographic atrophy secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration
