Presentation to highlight Company’s late-stage clinical program and
unique approach to neuroinflammation and the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease
BOSTON, June 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AZTherapies, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics to extend brain health, today announced that it will be presenting at the Maxim Group’s conference on Alzheimer’s disease. The meeting, entitled “Alzheimer’s Disease – What’s Next? Treating Alzheimer’s in a Post-Amyloid World,” is taking place in New York City from noon to 5 pm today.
During today’s presentation, AZTherapies will discuss its differentiated approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease, which employs a multi-modal mechanism that includes targeting the neuroinflammation that leads to neuronal death by shifting the brain’s microglial immune cells to their neuroprotective state. The Company’s lead candidate, ALZT-OP1, is currently being evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with early Alzheimer’s disease.
