今天,根据阿尔茨海默氏症国际协会国际会议,2022年的新数据,立即宣布,在6个月内,在6个月内,其专有的伽马感官刺激在6个月内减少了大脑中的白质萎缩。
阿尔茨海默氏病(AD)是痴呆症的最常见形式。尽管在正常衰老中观察到白质萎缩,但在AD患者中萎缩更为明显。AD患者中的白质变性,髓磷脂损失和少突胶质细胞损伤表明,白质可能是AD的机械重要靶标。
The data presented from the OVERTURE study and the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI1) database, suggest that Cognito’s 40 Hz gamma sensory stimulation therapy for a 6-month period may reduce white matter atrophy, protect axons, and possibly prevent myeline and oligodendrocyte damage in AD patients. Given the crucial role of white matter connecting expansive brain regions, preventing or reducing its atrophy may diminish AD disease progression,报告BusinessWire。
序曲研究治疗组的参与者在家庭6个月的时间内接受了1小时的Cognito每日40Hz同时进行听觉 - 视觉刺激,安慰剂组参与者接受假刺激。两组之间的分析表明,白质萎缩有利于治疗组的差异。为了将治疗组与较大的对照组进行比较,Cognito也研究了ADNI1数据。
序曲研究组参与者表现出0.38±0.82百分比增加,而ADNI1研究参与者在6个月后的白质体积下降-2.45±0.40百分点(p <0.004)。
Cognito还在AAIC的特色研究课程中介绍了序曲研究结果,标题为:神经元激发/抑制不平衡有助于阿尔茨海默氏病的病理学,并代表了治疗的潜在靶标。Overture临床试验的摘要结果表明,伽马感觉刺激是安全且耐受性的,功效结果表明有益的临床效果,包括维持的认知和功能能力,脑萎缩降低以及改善的睡眠质量。

Cognito Terapeutics Cognito Therapeutics首席执行官Brent Vaughan说:“我们的6个月期间的专有Gamma感觉刺激疗法已显示可减少白质萎缩,并可能在阿尔茨海默氏病患者中保护轴突,预防髓鞘和少突胶质细胞损伤。”“这些结果继续基于我们的知识和了解,对阿尔茨海默氏病患者的伽马频率模式如何破坏大脑中的γ频率模式,以及我们的技术如何恢复神经活动水平以改善认知。”
“鉴于白质连接大脑区域的关键作用,防止或减少其萎缩可能会减少疾病的进展。These results presented at AAIC indicate that our therapy can potentially improve outcomes for patients with Alzheimer’s and Mild Cognitive Impairment, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases that involve loss of white matter and myelination,” added Mihaly Hajos, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Cognito Therapeutics.
