During the Type C meeting, the FDA shared their interest and collaborative approach to Anavex’ development plans. The Company provided information related to the scientific rationale and profile of blarcamesine as an oral administration being convenient to dispense and the absence of significant safety concerns in clinical trials of blarcamesine conducted so far extending to the lack of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA).

In order to move forward, existing data from the Phase IIb/III ANAVEX2-73-AD-004 program requested by the Agency will be submitted. The Company committed to continue the initiated constructive exchange with the Agency in order to facilitate the timely evaluation and advance the Alzheimer’s disease program.
