Anavex Life Sciences shares were up 7% to $11.25 after the company said it saw positive trial results for its oral blarcamesine for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease.
The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company said the once-daily oral blarcamesine significantly slowed clinical progression by 36.3% at 48 weeks.
The phase 2b study demonstrated a safety profile with no associated neuroimaging adverse events.
Anavex said oral blarcamesine could represent a novel treatment in early Alzheimer's disease and be complementary or alternative to injectable anti-beta amyloid drugs.
The stock hit its 52-week high of $14.44 on Dec. 26, and is up 88% in the past 12 months.
