Cognition Therapeutics Presents Analyses at AD/PD™ 2024 Correlating Proteomic Findings with Treatment Effect of CT1812 in Alzheimer’s Disease Studies

PITTSBURGH, March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CGTX), a clinical stage company developing product candidates that treat neurodegenerative disorders, (the “Company” or “Cognition”), is presenting results of proteomic and correlation analyses of two completed clinical studies at the AD/PD™ 2024 Alzheimer's & Parkinson's Diseases Conference (March 5-9, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal). The three posters, which are listed below, summarize proteomic analyses from the completed SEQUEL and SPARC studies, which were conducted in adults with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

Two posters summarize proteomic analyses from the Phase 2 SEQUEL study which measured the impact of CT1812 on synapse function as determined by changes in brain wave patterns recorded by quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG). These posters identify candidate protein biomarkers that correlate with improvements observed in SEQUEL participants treated with CT1812, Cognition’s lead candidate. Among the proteins identified, those that were strongly correlated with CT1812 treatment effects were associated with protein trafficking, autophagy, neuroinflammation and microglial response.

The third poster summarizes proteomic analyses from the Phase 1 SPARC study, which was designed to measure the impact of CT1812 on synaptic density. Pathways identified in these proteomic analyses support a role for CT1812 in modulating Aβ biology and neuroinflammation, among other disease-relevant processes.

“Analyses of CSF samples from these studies build on our efforts to identify candidate biomarkers of CT1812 treatment effect,” explained Mary Hamby, Ph.D., VP of research at Cognition Therapeutics. “These results are consistent with published evidence that the normalization of aberrant pathways can protect neurons from toxic disease drivers. Further, we believe they support our understanding of CT1812’s mechanism of action. We look forward to analyzing samples from our SHINE study in 153 people with Alzheimer's disease so that we can build a more robust set of biomarkers of CT1812 treatment.”

The posters will be available on the AD/PD™ 2024 virtual conference platform for up to 6 months for registered delegates. Following the conclusion of the conference, the posters will be made available on our website on the Publications webpage.

About CT1812
CT1812 is an experimental orally delivered small molecule that penetrates the blood-brain barrier and binds selectively to the sigma-2 (σ-2) receptor complex. Preclinical and clinical data demonstrate that this binding results in the displacement of toxic Aβ oligomers. The σ-2 receptor complex is involved in the regulation of key cellular processes such as membrane trafficking and autophagy that are damaged by toxic interaction with Aβ oligomers, oxidative stress and other stressors. This damage to sensitive synapses can progress to a loss of synaptic function, which manifests as cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease progression.

About Cognition Therapeutics, Inc.
Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of innovative, small molecule therapeutics targeting age-related degenerative disorders of the central nervous system and retina. We are currently investigating our lead candidate CT1812 in clinical programs in Alzheimer’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD). We believe CT1812 and our pipeline of σ-2 receptor modulators can regulate pathways that are impaired in these diseases. We believe that targeting the σ-2 receptor with CT1812 represents a mechanism functionally distinct from other current approaches in clinical development for the treatment of degenerative diseases.
