Anavex Life Sciences Corp., declares that it is moving forward with the development program for ANAVEX 2-73. Guidance received from the FDA confirms the Company’s strategy to advance ANAVEX 2-73 for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in a larger double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 trial.

“Working with a highly vulnerable patient population, the Company is proceeding in a rational, step-wise process. Armed with the necessary data from the Phase 2a study to optimally design future trials, we look forward to expanding our development program,” said Kristina M. Capiak, Vice President Regulatory Affairs of Anavex.

“The utilization of Adaptive Design and Population Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) modeling is a major strength of the Phase 2a study. By implementing a different, innovative trial design for ANAVEX 2-73 in Alzheimer’s treatment, it is believed that this is more efficient than a conventional Phase 2 study since it is designed to reduce the risk of a Phase 3 trial failure, in addition to receiving the best quality information we can about ANAVEX 2-73,” said Christopher U. Missling, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Anavex. “The advantage of having Population PK/PD data is of value for the development of ANAVEX 2-73 in Alzheimer’s disease and also for other potential CNS indications.”

Anavex Life Sciences Corp., a biopharmaceutical company, is engaged in the discovery and development of drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, central nervous system diseases, and pain and various cancers.
