The details

At present, drug candidate ANAVEX 2-73 is in Phase 2a study in patients suffering from Alzheimer. The Phase 1 trial is concluded with a clean data profile. In last preclinical trials, drug candidate ANAVEX 2-73 showed potential to reverse or halt Alzheimer’s disease.

Missling, PhD, the CEO of Anavex stated that with the presented data the company is optimistic to have the two drugs currently in the trial process and will update on the progress of the study in next quarter.
