Neurotrope initiates long-term Alzheimer's study with bryostatin

  • Neurotrope (NTRP) has dosed the first patient in Phase 2 study of Bryostatin-1 for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study will be conducted in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under $2.7M grant to Neurotrope.
  • The 100-subject study will evaluate Bryostatin-1 in the absence of Allergan/Abbvie's Namenda (memantine) for a six-month period, which will include two 11-week dosing cycles.
  • The study will focus on assessing sustained cognitive benefit as measured by the Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) score.
  • Previously completed Phase 2 study (NTRP101-202) showed Bryostatin-1 was well tolerated and showed early signals of cognitive benefit, including improvement of 5.0 points in SIB score compared to baseline in moderately severe cohort in the non-Namenda group. Second pilot trial (NTRP101-203) using the same treatment protocol showed a similar SIB improvement compared to baseline in moderately severe cohort.
