Thank much. you very

Tom Bishop And our question BI comes next Research. from from

we that? you the said I expect Christopher, prevention that prevention and soon how were could know, phase for X expected was, Hi, what study, the initiate of wondering indication, to was and include to that a of you status one or you

something right. So this awfully because which important an we study. like, And agency, discuss the a very want that get we is with it's to

reason with, before case. I But like that given but potential just let indications, more body's degenerative causes I'd the therapeutic, be drug effect, as a to like diseases effect the but point is why the which broad prevent that we cognitive and So beneficial first, remind upstream stress, in developmental not own also And for and that other that. the also is came mechanism well effect hope defense providing which everybody, and cellular new sigma the to and this the vacations, which that the the us a probably broad gives it's we endogenous avoid see activation, this Parkinson to will we details Alzheimer, to the strong as impairment, up indications. on out great really of it's something want different with happen also X to

agency something be is that long making providing the So this this a not prize, treatment. only treatment with But used day, like diseases, one prevention first, the of as the to and as details. all before discuss And could this is more we shot. probably for degenerative big for

lot it you've to possibility. just of or lose three I'm exciting you with seems between presented the the final Have And very scheduled or? to FDA wondering a meeting I Sometimes on know of the Parkinson's? is we proceed status here. the phase That's is a the trials. one What add time and timeline like meeting what data.

good very question. There's a

for has exome but Your RNA. of endpoints what Parkinson work that the DNA the to including done key itself that we RNA right genome. have gene, dementia reported. unique the analysis we of have they know included genomics X finished and have RNA this is which which intelligence in also background we Sigma trials, And we ANAVEX analysis, our the the PDD work whole differentiates the the the trial, all you is both more on limited is are changes the And There yet ongoing now. up is know companies reported trial but the other disease or that to whole other not not the trial, also genes, the

of put more this dialogue this dementia, that are pivotal the right with now the the we ability putting much So, more much all design three we which requires study this forward hand. have from that, we entire before will study, but have first will to in have we and intelligence at Parkinson, together determine as the robust agency as will then but that, because have Parkinson's data in a also a phase well to there PDD so once be

they're but Well, J. you. I Fox drug, study. I independently Is Michael that doing the Fox you're mean, imaging. imaging okay, and dollar the of million status going? how's that the Michael supplying mean, J. of doing the

it's that process allows drug a Nope, this profile will And us grant and same have of capture to and imaging, in a of starting with year. ANAVEX we study. the pet three the already study brain do in of [ph] humans the done the basically the the are animals. which the in the we which in like It's this

So by this funded fully brains. is Foundation, a will And in are that was we be a the of with that and funded effect that which human Michael they basically study Fox confirmatory, executing study grant. which

Oh, see. I

this know. two, is a ongoing? on you same? mystery don't earlier a And X And Okay. XXX year. trial, comment where a I phase there's those they also, you indication Could not there indicated

to only because the the is make were this ANAVEX a before now. it's ultra a indications, effect and been sure, have want with indication, we which we yet, to the rare achieving animal that very we pick positive, are models nature, several have well, has have Right, on disease choice have we forward one of confirmatory we doing X-XX clinical not not move we And in mystery indication, a do, rare the we trial, said, nature. we several right right disclosed

of IP, and we of data an has well. So have And basically start on X-XX dementia, And has progressing drug half unmet platform And mechanism portfolio and will expect regarding once in molecule to away. disclose because trial received of is Frontotemporal without that focus it we that in that and ANAVEX which also action X. phase the this an X its our is also is second completed modulation, a now are need. right that another we indication we that sigma excited, the own orphan designation also confirms, year, it for is validates the assessment,

the well of an with So could an the indication unmet impairment. now we after next cognitive phase dementia will very studied in that be the are indication stage preparing with Frontotemporal one, it cognitive impairment, need another of which for

it's one done? But are is, saying you the study phase

It is year. able the data to will second of be correct. to this And we report wrap about this in That's up. half

data trial Will safety just it the or any efficacy include literally?

But what in is It's share that it. that predominantly allow on a visibility one on beyond the safety data once us I we And basically better trial. to gives included data. measures have outcome will safety in phase that us data

very you're a many does see which indications. on I've And the getting really encouraged that it's different know, readouts positive idea do little brain, something by support have just the the doubt I variety of, breadth so positive think too, been you. in X-XX you of coming. of and readouts, well, I but Okay, to a think helps that the I you good Thank

the clear which important all trials X-XX efficacious indication only so doses, always of biomarker also or the response, in by a very of of biomarker by borne but thirdly, expression is it I at our of right dose trials was is it very of so was our the fact highlight the the have have response If ANAVEX we performed, add, we a that far, performed itself. the effect. level to response noticed to not notice. a had strong far data, clinical And which all that And predictive curve, target was might the demonstrated drug mRNA all really

the these primary a showing biomarker endpoints correlated really confirming have of which all of we there's performed. and drug secondary no So with with drugs efficacy way and better outcomes, efficacy of the strong

Alright, thank I said, encouraging. it's you. very Like

you, ladies this call. conference Thank today's gentlemen, and concludes

now disconnect. You may
