AlzeCure publishes its interim report for January – March 2022

AlzeCure Pharma AB (publ) (FN STO: ALZCUR) today announced that its interim report for the period January – March 2022 is now available on the company’s website: www.alzecurepharma.com/en/section/investors/financial-reports/

“The first quarter of 2022 was yet another extremely active period for AlzeCure. We strengthened our financial position through a rights issue, with both current and new shareholders, which raised SEK 48.5 million before expenses for the company. In addition, we received feedback from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding our Painless ACD440 project for neuropathic pain, which was in line with our expectations so that we can now move forward, as planned, and begin our Phase IIa clinical trial as soon as possible. We presented positive Alzstatin data for a new molecule during the quarter. We also published data showing the positive effect of NeuroRestore on mitochondrial activity. Moreover, the company reported that ACD856 crosses the blood-brain barrier in healthy volunteers, an important finding that supports continued development work. The ongoing MAD study with ACD856 is proceeding according to plan and is expected to be completed during the summer.”

Martin Jönsson, CEO

About AlzeCure Pharma AB (publ)

AlzeCure® is a Swedish pharmaceutical company that develops new innovative small molecule drug therapies for the treatment of severe diseases and conditions that affect the central nervous system, such as Alzheimer’s disease and pain – indications for which currently available treatment is very limited. The company is listed on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market and is developing several parallel drug candidates based on three research platforms: NeuroRestore®, Alzstatin® and Painless.
 
NeuroRestore consists of two symptomatic drug candidates where the unique mechanism of action allows for multiple indications, including Alzheimer’s disease, as well as cognitive disorders associated with traumatic brain injury, sleep apnea and Parkinson’s disease. The Alzstatin platform focuses on developing disease-modifying and preventive drug candidates for early treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and comprises two drug candidates. Painless is the company’s research platform in the field of pain and contains two projects: ACD440, which is a drug candidate in the clinical development phase for the treatment of neuropathic pain, and TrkA-NAM, which targets severe pain in conditions such as osteoarthritis. AlzeCure aims to pursue its own projects through preclinical research and development through an early clinical phase and is continually working on business development to find suitable solutions for license agreements with other pharmaceutical companies.
