Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVXL#NASDAQ">AVXL</a>) on Saturday announced that over three years of continuous treatment with blarcamesine (ANAVEX 2-73) demonstrated significant amelioration on clinical decline, showing continued clinically and meaningful benefit for early <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alzheimer&#8217;s disease patients</a>.
ATTENTION-AD (ANAVEX 2-73-AD-EP-004) trial result was presented at the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44656765/anavex-life-sciences-announces-positive-up-to-4-years-oral-blarcamesine-results-from-phase-iibiii-" rel="noreferrer noopener">AD/PDTM&nbsp;2025 Conference</a>.
Continued blarcamesine treatment for up to four (4) years demonstrated a good comparative safety profile and no associated neuroimaging adverse events (no potentially fatal brain bleeding or brain swelling).
There were no deaths related to the study drug.
Blarcamesine-treated patients continue to accrue benefit through 4 years, as measured by the clinical endpoints ADAS-Cog13 and ADCS-ADL.

The delayed-start analysis for ADAS-Cog13 (assess cognitive function) showed a significant difference between the early start and late start treatment groups up to Week 192 (LS mean difference -3.83, P = 0.0165), favoring the early start group.
The results suggest that participants who initiated treatment with blarcamesine earlier in their disease progression showed greater cognitive function stability than those who did not initiate blarcamesine until ~1 year later.
In addition, an ADAS-Cog13 score difference between the treatment groups at Week 192 of more than 2 points is considered a clinically meaningful improvement.
Similarly, the delayed-start analysis for ADCS-ADL (functional evaluation scale) showed numerically favorable results for the early-start group over the late-start group up to Week 192. It reached statistical significance (LS mean difference +4.30, P = 0.0206).
With few or no interrupted treatment days, blarcamesine treatment resulted in an improved treatment effect for both cognition, ADAS-Cog13 (LS mean difference -4.20, P = 0.0083), and function, ADCS-ADL (LS mean difference +5.75, P = 0.0015) at Week 192.
Blarcamesine exhibited a favorable safety profile with the majority of adverse events (AEs) mild to moderate in severity (Grade 1 or 2), were predominantly linked to the initial titration phase, and could be managed with adjusted titration schedules.
Lastly, there are currently 74 participants receiving blarcamesine within the Compassionate Use Program, who continued treatment with blarcamesine subsequent completion of respective preceding open-label-extension studies from both ANAVEX 2-73-AD-EP-004 in early AD and from ANAVEX2-73-003 in mild-to-moderate AD.
Price Action: AVXL stock is down 1.71% at $8.05 at the last check Monday.

Reported Saturday, Anavex Announces 4-Year Data For Oral Blarcamesine In Early Alzheimer's Disease, Showing Sustained Cognitive And Functional Benefit

A hotter-than-expected inflation report initially rattled markets on Wednesday morning, but investors found confidence to buy the dip, helping major indexes recover most losses by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43656846/inflation-rises-more-than-expected-in-january-chills-interest-rate-cut-hopes">midday trading in New York.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 was down 0.2%, while the Nasdaq 100 was flat, both rebounding from sharp declines following the January Consumer Price Index report. Small-cap stocks underperformed, with the Russell 2000 slipping 0.8%.
The headline CPI rose 3% year over year in January, surpassing both December's 2.9% reading and economist forecasts of 2.9%. On a monthly basis, inflation increased 0.5%, outpacing expectations of 0.3% and accelerating from December's 0.4% gain. This marked the fastest monthly inflation rate since August 2023.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, climbed to 3.3% year over year from 3.2% in December. On a monthly basis, core CPI increased 0.4%, exceeding estimates of 0.3% and doubling December's 0.2% rise.
Treasuries and interest rate markets reacted sharply to the inflation data. Traders scaled back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, now projecting only one reduction by December 2025.
Treasury yields surged, reflecting heightened investor uncertainty. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped 10 basis points to 4.64%. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 1%.
Despite rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar, gold edged up 0.2% to $2,910 per ounce. Oil prices dropped 2% after reports that Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, fueling speculation about a potential ceasefire in Ukraine.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also rebounded from earlier session losses.
