“This clinical data together with prior preclinical findings seem to confirm ANAVEX 2-73’s selective activation of the specific stress reducing and survival protein, Sigma-1 receptor. This seems to present a potential common pathway for rescuing major neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, like in Autism-related disorders and Alzheimer’s disease. I believe the distinct mechanistic nature suggests the compound could be a candidate treatment for a precision medicine approach across a spectrum of different neurological and psychiatric diseases,” said Professor Harald Hampel, MD, PhD, Professor and AXA Research Fund Chair at Sorbonne Universities’ Pierre and Marie Curie University (UPMC), Paris, France and member of Anavex’s Scientific Advisory Board.
