April 29 (Reuters) -
Annovis Bio ANVS.N said on Monday its Alzheimer's
treatment showed significantly higher improvement in cognition
in patients during a mid-stage trial.
The company's drug buntanetap works by decreasing the
production of amyloid beta protein, believed to be a hallmark of
Alzheimer's, from the brain.
Annovis plans to conduct a late-stage trial based on
results of this trial.
