Nymox Alzheimer's Treatment -2: Plans Human Trials
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

MAYWOOD, N.J. -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corp. (NYMX) reported progress with a new Alzheimer drug candidates in pre-clinical laboratory studies.

In a press release Wednesday, the company said its NXD-9062 was found to work in animals by inhibiting cell damage similar to that found in Alzheimer's disease brain, in tests in laboratory and animal models. The drug was safely tolerated.

Nymox said it plans to complete the steps to target NXD-9062 for regulatory review this year and begin human trials.

The company said it believes the drug has "enormous potential" because "there is still no truly effective therapy that stops or significantly retards the disease."

Nymox currently markets AlzheimAlert, a non-invasive urine test that helps diagnose Alzheimer's disease, providing physicians aid by detecting the presence of neural thread protein, which is elevated in the urine of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
