Positive Results from SHINE Trial
The SHINE trial showed a 39% slowing of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients treated with CT1812 over 6 months, compared to placebo. This is a significant finding compared to recently approved monoclonal antibodies, which showed a 25% to 30% slowing over 18 months.
Strong Safety Profile
CT1812 demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile with most adverse events being mild or moderate. There were no cases of ARIA-E and only one case of asymptomatic ARIA-H.
Encouraging Biomarker Data
The SHINE trial showed significant change in neurofilament light (NfL), a marker of neurodegenerative disease, particularly at the 300-mg dose, supporting CT1812's potential as a synaptoprotective agent.
Financial Stability
As of June 30, 2024, the company had $28.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, with total grant funds remaining from the NIA at $57.3 million, sufficient to fund operations into Q2 2025.
Upcoming SHIMMER Trial Results
The SHIMMER trial, a Phase II study of CT1812 in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies, has completed enrollment and top-line results are expected by year-end.
