Alzheimer's Disease

Type: Keyphrase
Name: Alzheimer's Disease
description: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and a disturbance in at least one other thinking function (for example, language or perception of reality). Many scientists believe that AD results from an increase in the production or accumulation of a specific protein (beta-amyloid protein) that leads to nerve cell death. Loss of nerve cells in strategic brain areas, in turn, causes deficits in the neurotransmitters, which are the brain's chemical messengers

However, as a small biotech with a strong focus on optimized resourcing, we are always keen to prioritize. Based on the first interim analysis of secondary endpoints, which is confidential at this stage, we decided to focus in the first instance on AD02. The Phase II trial will start as early as possible, hopefully early next year."
