• Completed Phase 2b RewinD-LB Trial for DLB, funded by a $21.3 million NIA grant, with no further grant funding available.

• Presented new MRI and biomarker analyses showing neflamapimod's potential to reverse disease progression and benefit early-stage DLB patients.

• Completed enrollment in a Phase 2a trial for non-fluent variant primary progressive aphasia (nfvPPA) in the US and began enrollment in the UK; neflamapimod selected for inclusion in the UK EXPERTS-ALS platform for ALS clinical testing.

• No products approved or revenue from product sales to date; expects continued operating losses and need for additional capital.
