Cognito Therapeutics Showcases Early-Stage Cost-Effectiveness of Spectris Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease

Cognito Therapeutics presented an early-stage cost-effectiveness analysis of its Spectris therapy for Alzheimer’s disease at the ISPOR Europe 2024 Annual Meeting, highlighting its potential to reduce patient costs and alleviate the financial burden on healthcare systems.

Spectris Shows Promise in Reducing Alzheimer's Disease Dependence in Phase 2 Trial

• Spectris, a novel treatment by Cognito Therapeutics, significantly reduced the Alzheimer's Disease Dependence Score (DS) compared to sham treatment over 18 months. • The OVERTURE I/II study demonstrated high tolerability and adherence to Spectris, with no serious treatment-related adverse events observed in participants. • The trial data indicated remarkable preservation of brain structures and daily functions, particularly in the corpus callosum, offering new hope for Alzheimer's treatment. • Cognito Therapeutics is further investigating Spectris in the ongoing phase 3 HOPE pivotal trial for patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
