CervoMed new Phase 2b data: neflamapimod improves CDR-SB in DLB subgroup, reduces GFAP biomarker
CervoMed Inc.
- In DLB patients with low AD co-pathology (ptau181<21 pg/mL), neflamapimod showed significant improvement on CDR-SB (p=0.005) in within-subject comparison to placebo.
- Neflamapimod reduced the risk of clinically meaningful progression by 75% vs placebo over 16 weeks (p<0.001).
- Plasma GFAP levels decreased by median -23.1 pg/mL on neflamapimod vs +5.8 on placebo (p=0.016); GFAP change correlated with CDR-SB.
- FDA feedback on Phase 3 trial design expected in Q4 2025.
- Two drug capsule batches were used; only the newer batch (NFMD/B) achieved target plasma concentrations.
