The NDA submission is based on results from four studies the Company conducted demonstrating bioequivalence for ALPHA-1062 to galantamine and galantamine ER. Adverse events documented across all studies for ALPHA-1062 were less than 2% and no insomnia was observed.

“The FDA’s acceptance of our NDA for ALPHA-1062 brings us another significant step closer to delivering a much-needed treatment to patients suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease,” said Michael McFadden, Chief Executive Officer of Alpha Cognition. “We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the FDA throughout the review process.”

About Alpha Cognition Inc.

Alpha Cognition Inc. is a clinical stage, biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing treatments for patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Cognitive Impairment with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (“mTBI”), for which there are currently no approved treatment options.

ALPHA-1062, is a patented new chemical entity being developed as a new generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, with expected minimal gastrointestinal side effects. ALPHA-1062’s active metabolite is differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that it binds neuronal nicotinic receptors, most notably the alpha-7 subtype, which is known to have a positive effect on cognition. ALPHA-1062 is also being developed in combination with memantine to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer’s dementia, and as an intranasal formulation for Cognitive Impairment with mTBI.
