Annovis Bio Targets March 2027 Alzheimer’s Readout, Prepares Rolling NDA
Annovis Bio (ANVS) aims for March 2027 readout in Alzheimer's trial, focusing on p-tau217-positive subgroup. The company plans an NDA submission if six-month data meets efficacy criteria, but needs $15M by year-end to fund operations. CEO also discussed Parkinson's disease studies and regulatory plans. Annovis has $19M in cash, expecting to burn $7M-$9M monthly.
