Athira Pharma, Inc. ATHA, a late-stage biopharmaceutical company based in Bothell, Washington, specializing in the development of novel small molecule therapeutics to combat neurodegenerative diseases, has recently disclosed its financial results for the second quarter of 2024. Alongside the financial overview, major updates concerning the company's clinical pipeline and business operations were provided.

Fosgonimeton Advances in Clinical Development

ATHA is at the forefront of addressing the challenging arena of Alzheimer's disease with its leading candidate, fosgonimeton. The company has announced the anticipated release of topline data from the Phase 2/3 LIFT-AD clinical trial in September 2024. Fosgonimeton is being studied for its potential to treat patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's and seeks to restore neuronal health and halt neurodegradation. The scientific community and investors alike are keeping a close eye on these developments, given the urgent need for effective treatments in this therapeutic area.

Eager Anticipation for CTAD Presentation

Building upon the momentum of its clinical program, ATHA has also outlined plans to present the findings from the LIFT-AD study in an oral presentation at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) conference in October 2024. This event is highly regarded in the Alzheimer's research community, and presenting at CTAD will provide ATHA with a platform to showcase the potential impact of fosgonimeton on Alzheimer's disease treatment to a global audience of healthcare professionals and stakeholders.
