Cognito to Present New Spectris™ Data for Alzheimer's at CTAD 2024

10 October 2024
Cognito Therapeutics, a neurotechnology firm focused on developing therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, has announced its participation in the upcoming 17th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) conference. The event will be held in Madrid, Spain, and online from October 29 to November 1, 2024. Cognito Therapeutics will present several posters detailing their innovative therapy, Spectris™, aimed at treating Alzheimer's Disease.

Christian Howell, CEO of Cognito Therapeutics, expressed enthusiasm about presenting new clinical data at CTAD. He highlighted the potential of Spectris™ to maintain brain function and structure in Alzheimer's patients. Howell also emphasized the company's commitment to advancing their novel, non-invasive therapy, particularly through the HOPE trial's diverse recruitment strategies that better represent the actual Alzheimer’s population.

Ralph Kern, M.D., MHSc, Chief Medical Officer at Cognito Therapeutics, added that Spectris™ has shown encouraging results by using non-invasive auditory and visual neuromodulation. The data indicate significant preservation of daily function and brain structure. Kern noted that the HOPE study aims to include a diverse group of participants, mirroring the real-world Alzheimer’s disease population. Kern reiterated the excitement about sharing this new data at the CTAD conference.
