(NYSE American: ANVS), a clinical-stage drug platform company addressing Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that CEO Maria Maccecchini, Ph.D. and CFO Jeff McGroarty, MBA, CPA, will give a virtual corporate presentation at the June 2020 Virtual Summer Investor Summit taking place online from June 9 to 12, 2020. Annovis Bio’s presentation will be held on Wednesday, June 10, 2020 at 10:55 a.m. ET, followed by a live Q&A session.

(Annovis) is a clinical-stage, drug platform company addressing neurodegeneration, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s in Down Syndrome (AD-DS). We believe that we are the only company developing a drug for AD, PD and AD-DS that inhibits more than one neurotoxic protein and, thereby, improves the information highway of the nerve cell, known as axonal transport. When this information flow is impaired, the nerve cell gets sick and dies. We expect our treatment to improve memory loss and dementia associated with AD and AD-DS, as well as body and brain function in PD. We have an ongoing Phase 2a study in AD patients and plan to commence a second Phase 2a study in PD and AD patients. For more information on Annovis, please visit the company’s website: www.annovisbio.com.

Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life.

From 1998 to 2018 there have been over 500 failed attempts at developing Alzheimer's drugs. ? The sector needs to rethink dementia , develop new approaches and create new drugs. 4 [[Image Removed]] ALZHEIMER’S DRUG TRIAL FAILURES Have researchers been on the wrong track with amyloid? 5 The idea that sticky brain plaques cause Alzheimer’s disease began as an interesting hypothesis and eventually became drug industry dogma.
