Cognito Therapeutics Announces Presentation at the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) 2024 Meeting

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cognito Therapeutics, a leader in technology-based therapeutic interventions for neurodegenerative diseases, announced today a poster presentation at the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) 2024 Meeting, held May 5-8 in Atlanta, GA. The presented research is a targeted literature review of the clinical, humanistic, and economic burden of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).

By 2060, AD is expected to affect 13.8 million individuals in the US, driven by a 47% increase in the US population aged 65 and older by 2050. This surge underscores the pressing need for improved understanding and management of this debilitating neurological disease, given the current limitations in treatment options. A targeted literature review was conducted to gain insights into the clinical, humanistic, and economic burden of mild-to-moderate AD, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This comprehensive analysis includes patient demographics, prognostic factors, risks contributing to disease severity and progression, as well as pivotal factors impacting both patient and caregiver quality of life and healthcare resource utilization.

“In light of the continued rise in projected Alzheimer’s cases, this comprehensive review underscores the profound impact of mild-to-moderate AD and MCI on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems,” said Ralph Kern, MD, MHSc, Chief Medical Officer, Cognito Therapeutics. “This analysis reveals a number of factors influencing disease progression, quality of life, and healthcare resource utilization. The results highlight the need to better address and help AD patients proactively by developing novel disease-modifying therapies to alleviate the massive burden on the healthcare system.”
