Key findings from Invex Therapeutics announcement

Invex Therapeutics (ASX:IXC) has revealed promising outcomes from its collaboration with Tessara Therapeutics. The study utilized Tessara's ADBrain™ platform to simulate Alzheimer's Disease neurodegeneration. Exenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, showed significant improvement in neuronal cell viability, suggesting its potential in combating Alzheimer's Disease.

Summary and outlook of Invex Therapeutics announcement

Invex Therapeutics' recent study, in partnership with Tessara Therapeutics, highlights the potential of Exenatide in treating Alzheimer's Disease. The drug showed improved cell survival under conditions mimicking Alzheimer's-related neurodegeneration. Exenatide's safety profile was confirmed with no adverse effects over a range of doses. These findings open avenues for further research into Exenatide's applicability in other neurodegenerative diseases, aligning with Invex's strategic focus on repurposing Exenatide for neurological conditions. With a market value of $17 billion for Alzheimer's treatments, Invex plans to continue exploring Exenatide's potential through further collaborations.

Executive commentary on Invex Therapeutics' findings

The study indicates that low and moderate doses of Exenatide significantly improved cell viability, suggesting potential protective effects against Alzheimer's Disease-related cell death mechanisms such as oxidative stress and ferroptosis. This aligns with emerging clinical evidence that GLP-1 receptor agonists may offer protection against Alzheimer's Disease dementia.
