Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: AVXL) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of novel therapeutics for neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders. Headquartered in New York, Anavex focuses on precision medicine to treat diseases with high unmet medical needs, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Rett syndrome, and schizophrenia.
Anavex's lead compound, ANAVEX 2-73 (blarcamesine), is an orally available small molecule targeting sigma-1 and muscarinic receptors. It aims to restore cellular homeostasis, showing promise in multiple CNS disorders. Blarcamesine has successfully completed Phase 2a and Phase 2b/3 trials for Alzheimer's disease and various studies in Rett syndrome, including a recent Phase 2/3 EXCELLENCE pediatric trial demonstrating significant improvements in Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ) scores.
The company also has other promising drug candidates, such as ANAVEX 3-71, targeting sigma-1 and M1 muscarinic receptors. This candidate has exhibited disease-modifying activity in Alzheimer's disease models and is currently in a Phase 2 trial for schizophrenia.
Anavex actively engages in partnerships and collaborations, including support from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. With a robust intellectual property portfolio, Anavex is committed to advancing its pipeline through rigorous clinical trials to bring effective treatments to market.
Recent highlights include presenting at key industry conferences and filing a Marketing Authorisation application with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for blarcamesine in Alzheimer's disease. Anavex also recently bolstered its executive team with seasoned professionals to drive its R&D and clinical strategies forward.

Anavex Life Sciences announced the peer-reviewed publication of Phase IIb/III trial results for oral blarcamesine (ANAVEX®2-73) in The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease. The study demonstrated that once-daily oral blarcamesine significantly slowed clinical progression by 36.3% at 48 weeks in early Alzheimer's Disease patients, and by 49.8% in the SIGMAR1 wild-type gene group on the ADAS-Cog13 cognitive endpoint.
The drug showed a favorable safety profile with no associated neuroimaging adverse events. Blarcamesine works through SIGMAR1 activation, inducing autophagy and restoring cellular homeostasis. The treatment could represent a novel approach for early Alzheimer's disease, potentially serving as a complementary or alternative option to injectable anti-beta amyloid drugs. The data is currently under review by the EMA as part of an MAA filing.
Anavex Life Sciences (NASDAQ: AVXL) announced positive results from its ATTENTION-AD trial, showing that over three years of continuous treatment with oral blarcamesine significantly reduced clinical decline in early Alzheimer's disease patients.
The trial demonstrated that patients who started treatment earlier showed greater stability of cognitive function compared to those who started later. The delayed-start analysis revealed significant differences in ADAS-Cog13 scores at Week 144 (LS mean difference -2.70, P = 0.0348) and Week 192 (LS mean difference -3.83, P = 0.0165).
The drug exhibited a favorable safety profile with mostly mild to moderate adverse events. The most common side effect, dizziness, was reduced from 25.2% to 9.6% after adjusting the titration period. Currently, 74 participants are receiving blarcamesine through the Compassionate Use Program, with some patients on treatment for over 9 years with no severe adverse events.
