Cognetivity Neurosciences achieves enrollment threshold for clinical evaluation study, enabling registration of ICA platform for CE marking

VANCOUVER, Oct. 29, 2019 /CNW/ - Cognetivity Neurosciences Ltd. (the "Company" or "Cognetivity") CGN1UBCGNSF today confirmed that it has assessed sufficient participants in the clinical evaluation study of its Integrated Cognitive Assessment (ICA) platform to register for CE marking.

The news means Cognetivity remains on track to register the ICA as a medical device by the end of 2019, enabling the product to be launched in the United Kingdom and the EU.

"We're extremely satisfied to have passed this critical milestone in the commercial development of our technology," said Cognetivity's CEO, Dr Sina Habibi. "And of course, every new test-taker represents an addition to our available data, which only serves to improve the quality of our Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine and thus the product itself."

Cognetivity's ICA platform, through the use of advanced AI techniques, has the potential to assist in the identification and monitoring of cognitively-impaired individuals with high accuracy and improved cost-effectiveness. The ICA can be seamlessly integrated into existing care pathways in clinical practice, leading to increased efficiency for clinicians and better outcomes for both patients and families.

The important progress Cognetivity has made comes at a particularly salient moment, as global pharmaceutical giants Biogen and Eisai recently announced that they intend to file for FDA approval of aducanumab in early 2020. This drug would be the first disease-modifying therapy for Alzheimer's Disease to reach the market, injecting much-needed impetus into the field of drug development for neurodegenerative disease and potentially improving the lives of millions of patients.

Crucially, the prospect of such therapies highlights the need for validated tools that can help to identify patients when interventions are at their most effective. Given its immunity to practice effects and capacity for remote administration, the ICA is well positioned to make a major impact.
