GemVax & KAEL Co. Ltd. has announced that a paper on GV1001, a novel Alzheimer's treatment based on telomerase modification, was published on March 26th in the SCI-grade international journal 'Alzheimer's Research & Therapy'. The paper is titled 'Efficacy and safety of GV1001 in patients with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's already receiving donepezil: a phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial', and contains an analysis of the overall data from the Phase II clinical trial for Alzheimer's disease conducted in Korea. Publication in such a peer-reviewed journal is regarded as further vindication of GemVax's decision to advance GV1001 into a Phase III trial in Korea later this year. The phase II clinical trial was conducted at twelve domestic institutions to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GV1001, and confirmed statistically significant improvements in both the primary and secondary endpoints, the Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) (7.1 points) and the neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI) score, respectively. In particular, GV1001 was well tolerated without any clinically significant side effects or adverse drug events.
