NEW TARGETS
Until very recently, the understanding and availability of drug targets in Alzheimer’s has been sparse and concentrated on acetylcholinesterase, NMDA receptors or insoluble amyloid plaque. Cognition Therapeutics has taken a new approach, using the new concept that soluble Abeta oligomers are the primary neurotoxic element causing neuronal degeneration and cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and discovered a brand new drug target, the sigma-2/PGRMC1 receptor.

NEW DRUGS
The therapeutic standards of care for Alzheimer’s only treat the cognitive symptoms, do not modify disease progression and at best they are only modestly active, gradually losing their efficacy as the disease becomes more severe. Cognition Therapeutics has applied its innovative drug discovery platform and discovered first in-class small molecule inhibitors of Abeta oligomer binding to neurons that have the potential to modify disease progression in Alzheimer’s disease.

NEW HOPE
Very recent clinical advances using Abeta monoclonal antibodies that interact with both soluble Abeta oligomers and insoluble fibrillar ABeta, have demonstrated a reduction in Abeta burden correlating with a slowing of cognitive decline in early Alzheimer’s patients and have renewed confidence in the Abeta approach. Cognition Therapeutics has a first candidate in the clinic and has back-up candidates moving through its late preclinical pipeline.
