BOSTON, March 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CervoMed Inc. (NASDAQ: CRVO), a clinical stage company focused on developing treatments for degenerative diseases of the brain, today announced the presentation of biomarker data from the AscenD-LB Phase 2a trial of neflamapimod in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), demonstrating that neflamapimod reduces plasma levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) compared placebo, and that the effects of neflamapimod on GFAP were inversely correlated to change in CDR-SB (reduction in GFAP associated with improvement in CDR-SB, and increase in GFAP associated with worsening in CDR-SB). These data will be featured in a poster presentation at the 18th International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases (AD/PD™) 2024, being held both virtually and in Lisbon, Portugal from March 5–9, 2024. In addition, academic researchers from UCL will be presenting data in a separate poster at the meeting demonstrating that p38MAPK inhibition, including with neflamapimod specifically, improves tau-induced axonal transport defects both in vitro and in a tauopathy mouse model.

Key Points: 
  • These data will be featured in a poster presentation at the 18th International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases (AD/PD™) 2024, being held both virtually and in Lisbon, Portugal from March 5–9, 2024.
