CervoMed has shared new data from the Phase 2b RewinD-LB trial demonstrating neflamapimod treatment led to a significant reduction in the widely used neurodegeneration biomarker plasma GFAP and an increase in A42/40 ratio, an inverse marker of neuroinflammation and amyloidogenesis. In addition, neflamapimod treatment showed a trend towards reducing plasma neurofilament light chains levels. These data were presented on December 1, 2025, at the 18th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease, CTAD, Conference in San Diego, California. A second presentation will take place in an oral late-breaking session at the conference on December 4th, 2025, in which Dr. John-Paul Taylor, MBBS, MRCPsych, PhD, Professor of Translational Dementia Research at Newcastle University, will provide the clinical outcome results from RewinD-LB.

About CRVO
CervoMed Inc. is a clinical-stage company focused on developing treatments for age-related neurologic disorders. The Company is developing neflamapimod, an investigational, orally administered small molecule brain penetrant that inhibits p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase alpha. Neflamapimod has the potential to treat synaptic dysfunction, the reversible aspect of the underlying neurodegenerative processes that cause disease in Lewy bodies (DLB) and certain other neurological disorders. It focuses on reducing the impact of inflammation in the brain, or neuroinflammation, which is a key factor in the manifestation of degenerative diseases of the brain, including DLB. Neflamapimod is being evaluated in the Company's ongoing RewinD-LB Trial, a Phase 2b trial in patients with DLB.
