About Azeliragon

vTv discovered and developed azeliragon using its proprietary drug
discovery platform TTP Translational Technology®. A broad range of human
pathologic and experimental biologic investigation suggests that RAGE
activation contributes to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease.
Sustained Amyloid-β interactions with RAGE at the blood-brain barrier
(BBB) and in neuronal and microglial cells, play potentially major roles
in amyloid plaque formation, neuroinflammation and chronic neural
dysfunction – all hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. Azeliragon, also
known as TTP488, is a novel orally active small-molecule antagonist of
RAGE.

About STEADFAST

STEADFAST, two identical randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
Phase 3 trials, is investigating the safety and efficacy of azeliragon
as a potential treatment to slow the decline in cognition and functional
activities for patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease. The 18-month
trial targeted enrollment of 800 patients (400 each for Part A and B).
Part A enrolled patients in the United States and Canada. Enrollment of
Part B additionally included study sites in the United Kingdom, Ireland,
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Subjects completing the
STEADFAST study are eligible to enroll in a 24-month open-label
extension trial. STEADFAST is being conducted following agreement with
FDA under the Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) process and the
azeliragon development program has been granted fast track designation.
Enrollment of Part A was completed in September 2016 with data expected
to read out in early 2018. Part B data is expected to read out in late
2018.
