Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical stage neuroscience company which engages in developing drugs that help restore normal cellular damage responses in neurodegenerative and neuro-ophthalmic disorders. The company is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and currently employs 25 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2021-10-08. The firm is investigating its lead candidate, zervimesine (CT1812), in clinical programs in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer’s disease. Its CT1812 and pipeline of sigma-2 modulators can regulate pathways that are impaired in these diseases for the treatment of degenerative diseases. Its lead product candidate, CT1812, is an orally delivered, small molecule designed to protect neuronal synapses by preventing the binding of oligomers of pathogenic proteins. Its pipeline candidates were discovered using proprietary biology and chemistry platforms designed to identify novel drug targets and disease-modifying therapies that address dysregulated pathways. The company is developing other product candidates in the area of synucleinopathies.
