Annovis Bio Announces New Data from Phase III Parkinson’s Study Highlighting Improvements in Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) and Cognition after Treatment with Buntanetap

• Buntanetap showed dose-dependent and statistically significant improvements in cognition in the overall enrolled PD population.  Parkinson’s patients with substantial cognitive decline exhibited a very pronounced improvement.
• Buntanetap showed statistical improvement in the MDS-UPDRS Part II, Part III, Part II+III and Total scores in Parkinson’s patients with a >3-year diagnosis.
• Buntanetap showed the same statistical improvement in MDS-UPDRS Part II, Part III, Part II+III and Total scores in Parkinson’s patients with Postural Instability and Gait Difficulties (PIGD).
• Buntanetap’s activity resulted in statistically significant improvements in all primary and secondary endpoints in the specified populations as well as in cognition.

Excerpt from the Press Release:

MALVERN, Pa., July 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — Annovis Bio Inc. (NYSE: ANVS) (“Annovis” or the “Company”), a late-stage clinical drug platform company pioneering transformative therapies for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Parkinson’s Disease (PD), today announced new data from its Phase III PD study demonstrating that buntanetap is safe and effective in improving motor and non-motor activities and improving cognitive functions in patients with early Parkinson’s disease.

These findings will be discussed in more detail on today’s webcast at 4:30 PM ET. Register here.

“We are very pleased to see improvements in many of our patients over such a short course of treatment. These compelling data reinforce our commitment to advancing buntanetap into a longer study, which will allow us not only to verify observed symptomatic improvements but also to explore buntanetap’s disease-modifying properties,” said Maria Maccecchini, Ph.D., Founder, President and CEO of Annovis Bio.

Key Findings from the Study:

Buntanetap stops cognitive decline in all enrolled patients (MMSE 20-30) and improves cognition in patients with mild dementia (MMSE 20-26).

Findings: In the entire enrolled population, placebo group demonstrated cognition deterioration throughout the study, whereas all treatment groups (10mg and 20mg buntanetap) maintained baseline levels, indicating a statistically significant effect of the drug in stopping cognitive decline. In patients with mild dementia, as measured by MMSE 20-26, cognition deteriorated at a faster pace in the placebo group compared to those treated with 10mg buntanetap.
