Net loss for the third quarter 2019 was $0.7 million, or $0.04 per share, as compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.11 per share, for the same period in 2018. Net cash used was $0.7 million during the third quarter of 2019. Cassava Sciences ended the third quarter 2019 with $17.8 million of cash and equivalents, and no debt.
“Cassava Sciences had a productive quarter with our clinical research program in Alzheimer’s,” said Remi Barbier, President & CEO. “We are encouraged by the robust biomarker data from a Phase 2a study in Alzheimer’s with lead drug candidate, PTI-125. PTI-125 is a twice-daily oral drug that targets both the neurodegeneration and the inflammatory components of Alzheimer’s. We’re seeing the research community shift from an amyloid-centric view, with all its noise and confusion, to one that targets neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. PTI-125’s mechanism of action supports this evolution in Alzheimer’s drug development. That gets us excited.”

About PTI-125 and Cassava Sciences’ Scientific ApproachThe target of PTI-125 is an altered form of filamin A (FLNA), a scaffolding protein. Published studies have shown that altered FLNA in the brain disrupts the normal function of neurons, leading to Alzheimer’s pathology, neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. Cassava Sciences’ lead drug candidate, PTI-125, is a small molecule that restores the normal shape and function of FLNA in the brain. This action improves the function of certain receptors in the brain and exerts powerful anti-neuroinflammatory effects.
Cassava Sciences is also developing an investigational diagnostic to detect Alzheimer’s disease with a simple blood test. This program, called PTI-125Dx, also receives significant scientific and financial support from NIH.
The underlying science for Cassava Sciences’ programs in neurodegeneration is published in several prestigious peer-reviewed technical journals, including Journal of Neuroscience, Neurobiology of Aging, and Journal of Biological Chemistry. As previously announced, NIH has awarded Cassava Sciences two research grants following an in-depth, confidential review of its science and technology. These two grant awards represent up to $6.7 million of non-dilutive financing.
About Alzheimer's DiseaseAlzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. Currently, there are no drug therapies to halt Alzheimer’s disease, much less reverse its course. In the U.S. alone, approximately 5.8 million people are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, and approximately 487,000 people age 65 or older will develop Alzheimer’s in 2019.1 The number of people living with Alzheimer’s disease is expected to grow dramatically in the years ahead, which may also result in a growing social and economic burden.2
