neflamapimod (VX-745) / CervoMed - LARVOL DELTA

CervoMed Announces Late-Breaking Data at the 18th CTAD Conference Demonstrating Neflamapimod Significantly Slows Clinical Progression in Dementia with Lewy Bodies (GlobeNewswire) - "Key analyses of the extension phase of the RewinD-LB trial showed: A significant improvement on the primary endpoint, CDR-SB (Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes), at week 16 of the extension phase, with a mean change that was 52% lower with DP Batch B compared to DP Batch A in all participants and 82% lower in patients with a screening plasma ptau181 of <21.0 pg/mL (i.e., patients without AD co-pathology). The clinical effect in CDR-SB was durable to 32 weeks, with a 65% reduction in clinical worsening in all participants (mean increase=1.73 with DP Batch A vs. 0.53 with DP Batch B) and an 89% reduction in clinical worsening in the <21.0 pg/mL ptau181 subgroup (mean increase=1.44 with DP Batch A vs. 0.16 with DP Batch B)."

CervoMed Presents New Plasma Biomarker Data That Indicates Neflamapimod Broadly Improves Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration in Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) (GlobeNewswire) - "During the 32 weeks of the Extension there was a significant reduction in plasma GFAP levels in participants who received DP Batch B (median -16.0, IQR: -35, +6.7; p<0.0001 for change from start to Week 32 of the Extension). Change in plasma GFAP over 32 weeks was significantly lower during treatment with DP Batch B (mean -16.7 pg/mL) compared to change in the same participants during placebo administration (mean +5.8 pg/mL) over 16 weeks (median difference = -23.5 pg/mL, p=0.016, Wilcoxon rank sum test)."

Butyrate regulates the blood-brain barrier transport and intra-endothelial accumulation of Alzheimer's disease Amyloid-beta peptides. (PubMed, bioRxiv) - "The roles of various molecular mediators were confirmed using specific inhibitors (MK2206, Trametinib, Rapamycin, VX-745). These changes may also improve the integrity of BBB tight junctions by increasing claudin-5 expression and extracellular matrix, and by upregulating TIMP-2 expression. This study highlights butyrate's potential as a therapeutic modulator of AD-related BBB dysfunction."

Mechanisms of acute pain involve spinal IL17-TNF-α/IL-6–p38 MAPK activation in sickle cell disease (ASH 2025) - "We nextexamined if the novel transdermal curcumin (TDC; Vasceptor, Vascarta Inc.), which reduced inflammationand oxidative stress in sickle mice in the periphery (Goel et al., PNAS nexus 2025), has the potential toinhibit spinal inflammation, oxidative stress, and p38 phosphorylation...Since p38 is activated by cytokines and is also involved in the transcriptional regulation ofcytokines, leading to oxidative stress, we next examined if TDC or inhibition of p38 with neflamapimod(Nef) would prevent hypoxia-induced oxidative stress in a sickle microenvironment in the peripheral andCNS...We conclude that IL-17 orchestrates acute pain bypromoting IL-17-TNF-α/IL-6–p38 cascade in the CNS and periphery, leading to oxidative stress andmitochondrial dysfunction in sensory neurons. TDC interrupts this SCD pathophysiological cascade,suggestive of a preventive effect on acute pain episodes in SCD."

Pharmacological reversal of LPS-induced cognitive impairments: evidence for inflammation-dependent and independent mechanisms (Neuroscience 2025) - "Fifteen compounds proved effective in reversing cognitive deficits and were categorized as follows: i) Anti-inflammatory NSAIDs & Steroids: Ibuprofen, indomethacin, sulindac, dexamethasone...iii) Synaptic & Neurotransmitter Modulators: Memantine, donepezil, GRN 529. iv) Metabolic & Signaling Agents: Metformin, semaglutide, neflamapimod. Two interventions—nilotinib and methylene blue—were ineffective...The convergence of benefits across anti-inflammation, oxidative stress reduction, synaptic modulation, and metabolic regulation underscores the multifactorial nature of inflammation-driven neurodegeneration. Identifying both effective and ineffective agents highlights the model's translational potential and discriminative validity."

Neuronal p38 MAPK Signaling Contributes to Cisplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy. (PubMed, Antioxidants (Basel)) - "This study investigates the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in the development and progression of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). This study identifies p38 MAPK activation as a critical driver of CIPN and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for CIPN. Targeting p38 MAPK activation with neflamapimod offers a promising strategy to mitigate neurotoxicity and hyperalgesia without exacerbating cancer progression, positioning it as a novel intervention for CIPN."
