Dr. Lauren Costantini is presenting the abstract, "Clinical Efficacy of AC-1202 in Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease" at the Late Breaking Science session today at 3:45 p.m. EDT. The plenary session will be held at 5:15 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 4.

The trial was conducted at 25 centers across the United States, and all subjects were given the opportunity to participate in a six-month open-label extension upon completion of the three-month blinded study. The results of the open-label extension will be presented at the Alzheimer's Association's International Prevention Conference in early June.

About AC-1202

Brain imaging techniques performed on AD patients reveal a dramatically decreased uptake of glucose, the brain's preferred source of energy. AC-1202 is an orally available, liquid compound that is efficiently converted by the liver into ketone bodies, an alternative energy source that the brain can metabolize even when it cannot process glucose. Thus preserving the glucose- deprived brain cells, AC-1202 has disease modifying potential in AD and a number other neurodegenerative diseases characterized by neuronal metabolism. The potentially neuroprotective mechanism of this first-in-class compound is also being evaluated in age-associated memory impairment, Parkinson's disease, and canine cognitive dysfunction.
