About Azeliragon

vTv discovered and developed azeliragon using its proprietary drug discovery platform TTP Translational Technology®. A broad range of human pathologic and experimental biologic investigation suggests that RAGE activation contributes to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Sustained Amyloid-β interactions with RAGE at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and in neuronal and microglial cells, play potentially major roles in amyloid plaque formation, neuroinflammation and chronic neural dysfunction – all hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. Azeliragon, also known as TTP488, is a novel orally active small-molecule antagonist of RAGE.

About STEADFAST

STEADFAST, two identical randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trials, is investigating the safety and efficacy of azeliragon as a potential treatment to slow the decline in cognition and functional activities for patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease. The 18-month trial targeted enrollment of 800 patients (400 each for Part A and B). Part A enrolled patients in the United States and Canada. Enrollment of Part B additionally included study sites in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Subjects completing the STEADFAST study are eligible to enroll in a 24-month open-label extension trial. STEADFAST is being conducted following agreement with FDA under the Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) process and the azeliragon development program has been granted fast track designation. Enrollment of Part A was completed in September 2016 with data expected to read out in early 2018. Part B data is expected to read out in late 2018.
