Topline data from the RewinD-LB Phase 2b study on track for December 2024 Detailed safety and efficacy data from RewinD-LB Phase 2b study to be featured in an oral presentation at the ILBDC conference in January 2025 BOSTON, Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CervoMed Inc. (NASDAQ: CRVO), a clinical-stage company focused on developing treatments for age-related neurologic disorders, today announced that it will deliver an oral presentation providing detailed safety and efficacy results from its completed RewinD-LB Phase 2b clinical trial of neflamapimod in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) at the eighth International Lewy Body Dementia Conference (ILBDC) taking place on January 29-31, 2025 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. “As we await topline results from the RewinD-LB Phase 2b trial in DLB, we are extremely encouraged by the scientific community’s interest in the data and pleased to have an opportunity to present them at the leading scientific conference dedicated to Lewy Body Dementia,” said John Alam, MD, Chief Executive Officer of CervoMed. “There are currently no approved therapies for DLB, and the dementia clinical research community has a strong interest in the ongoing RewinD-LB Phase 2b study and its potential beneficial impact to patients and families. Topline results for RewinD-LB are expected to be disclosed in December 2024 and we are also presenting data on RewinD-LB baseline patient characteristics at the upcoming Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease Conference (CTAD). Based on our preliminary analyses, we are confident that we have optimized RewinD-LB trial design to detect a statistically significant and clinically meaningful difference between neflamapimod and placebo.” Details of the ILBDC presentation are as follow:Abstract Title: Efficacy and safety results of the RewinD-LB phase 2b clinical trial of neflamapimod in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)Format: Oral PresentationSession Name: Therapeutics in DLBSession Date and Time: Friday, January 31, 2025, 14.00-15.30 pm Local Time About CervoMed CervoMed Inc.

• On track to report topline data from the Phase 2b trial in December 2024 • Neflamapimod has the potential to restore function and improve cognitive and motor functions in DLB patients • 96% of patients enrolled in RewinD-LB completed the 16-week portion of the study, of which 98% continued into the open label extension Oct. 15, 2024 -- CervoMed Inc. (NASDAQ: CRVO), a clinical-stage company focused on developing treatments for age-related neurologic disorders, today announced the Last Patient Last Visit in RewinD-LB, a Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating neflamapimod in patients with early-stage dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). CervoMed remains on track to report topline efficacy and safety data in December 2024. “Completion of the last patient visit in the RewinD-LB Phase 2b trial is an important milestone in our neflamapimod program for DLB,” said John Alam, MD, Chief Executive Officer of CervoMed. “There has been a high level of enthusiasm from the clinical sites, trial investigators, and patients, reflecting the significant unmet need in the DLB patient population for which no treatment is currently approved. We are also encouraged by the fact that 96% of the patients enrolled into the study completed the 16-week double-blind placebo-controlled portion of the study, of which 98% continued into the open label extension. Furthermore, our independent Data Safety Monitoring Board recently met to conduct a pre-specified review of the available safety data and concluded that the study may proceed without modification. We look forward to sharing topline data in December 2024. Dr. Alam continued; “We are also pleased to deliver late-breaking oral presentations at the upcoming Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) conference, where we will discuss plasma biomarker data and their relevance to our ongoing trial. Leveraging insights from our Phase 2a trial and the baseline characteristics of patients enrolled in RewinD-LB, we think that we have enrolled the appropriate early DLB patient population we were targeting when we designed the study, namely participants who both have substantial clinical deficits and are still able to show improvements in their underlying disease process. [Combined with the use of a clinically meaningful primary endpoint, these data further increase our confidence that we are well positioned in the trial as we approach the topline readout in December. With a positive result, we believe we’ll have demonstrated true clinical proof-of-concept for neflamapimod as a specific treatment for patients with DLB.” The full details on CervoMed’s upcoming oral late-breaking presentations at CTAD can be found here. CervoMed’s ongoing Phase 2b study, RewinD-LB, is a randomized, 16-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating oral neflamapimod (40mg TID) in 159 patients with early-stage DLB. In early-stage DLB patients – who are estimated to comprise approximately 50% of the total diagnosed DLB patient population at any given time – the disease has not progressed to a point where the patient has significant neuronal loss in the hippocampus. Patients with advanced DLB – in whom there is a significant, irreversible neuronal loss in the hippocampus and associated Alzheimer’s Disease co-pathology -- as assessed by a blood biomarker (plasma ptau181), were excluded from the study. The primary endpoint in the study is a change in the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes, and secondary endpoints include the Timed Up and Go test, a cognitive test battery, and the Clinician’s Global Impression of Change. The RewinD-LB study is funded by a $21.0 million grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging, which is being disbursed over the course of the study as costs are incurred. The study includes 43 sites (32 in the United States, 8 in the United Kingdom, and 3 in the Netherlands) and completed enrollment in June 2024, with topline data expected in December 2024. Patients completing the 16-week placebo-controlled study period will be able to continue in the study while receiving open-label neflamapimod treatment for an additional 32 weeks. More information on the RewinD-LB study, including contact information on active clinical trial sites, is available at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05869669). CervoMed Inc.
