This conversation features a discussion of newly published research showing that Aβ oligomers bind to synapses in brain tissue of Alzheimer’s patients and how CT1812 acts to reverse their binding and reduce synaptotoxicity. Additionally, the panelists discuss using quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) as a real-time biomarker of synaptic function. In the Phase 2 ‘SEQUEL’ study of CT1812 in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease, four weeks of treatment was associated with trends to improvement in synaptic function and brain connectivity. Finally,
