ATLANTA, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALZN) (“Alzamend” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel products for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (“Alzheimer’s”), bipolar disorder (“BD”), major depressive disorder (“MDD”) and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), today announced that Alzamend’s board of directors approved a one-for-nine reverse stock split of Alzamend’s common stock (“Common Stock”) that will be effective in the State of Delaware at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on May 12, 2025. Beginning with the opening of trading on May 12, 2025, the Company’s Common Stock will trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis under the Company’s existing trading symbol “ALZN”. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock will be 02262M605. The reverse stock split is part of the Company’s plan to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share required to maintain continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, among other benefits.

The reverse stock split affects all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split reduces the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split. The par value of the Company’s Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share after the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some stockholders owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead receive a cash payment. As of the date of this press release, Alzamend has 7,208,591 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, which it anticipates will result in approximately 800,954 shares of Common Stock after the reverse stock split is effective.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”), is acting as the exchange agent and transfer agent for the reverse stock split. Computershare will provide instructions to stockholders for receiving payment for any fractional shares.

Aligos Therapeutics Presents Positive Data at the EASL Congress 2025

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aligos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGS), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving patient outcomes through best-in-class therapies for liver and viral diseases, today announced positive data from eight presentations at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress 2025, being held May 7 – 10, 2025 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

“We are pleased to have eight presentations at this year’s EASL Congress from programs across our pipeline,” stated Lawrence Blatt, PhD, MBA, Chairman, President, & CEO of Aligos Therapeutics. “In particular, we are excited to share an update on the 96-week data from the monotherapy cohort receiving 300 mg ALG-000184. All subjects in both the HBeAg+ and HBeAgcohorts have achieved HBV DNA viral suppression < LLOQ (10 IU/mL) and continue to demonstrate sustained log10 reductions in viral antigens such as HBcrAg. These data further strengthen our belief that ALG-000184 is a first-/best-in-class asset with the potential to improve patient outcomes. Additionally, we will present biomarker and subgroup analyses from the Phase 2a HERALD study. These data continue to demonstrate the best-in-class potential of ALG-055009 across the cardio-metabolic space.”

Two presentations highlight the continued potent antiviral activity of ALG-000184 for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in both untreated HBeAg+ and HBeAg subjects, demonstrating the potential for the molecule to become first-line therapy for chronic suppression and the backbone for regimens aimed at functional cure.

In HBeAg+ subjects with a very high mean HBV DNA level of 8.0 log10 IU/mL at baseline, all experienced profound and persistent HBV DNA reductions after receiving an oral daily dose of 300 mg ALG-000184 monotherapy. At Week 48, 6 of 10 subjects (60%) achieved HBV DNA < LLOQ (10 IU/mL, target detected or target not detected). With treatment extension, this rate increased to 9 of 9 subjects (100%) at Week 96. Additionally, HBV DNA level continuously declined to < LLOQ (target not detected, <4.29 IU/mL) in 5 of 9 subjects at Week 96.

In HBeAg subjects, all 11 (100%) had rapid decline in HBV DNA levels and achieved sustained HBV DNA suppression (HBV DNA < LLOQ, target detected or target not detected) by Week 24. The HBV DNA suppression level was maintained in the ALG-000184 monotherapy cohort for up to 96 weeks, with further decline in HBV DNA to < LLOQ, target not detected, observed in all subjects (8/8) at Week 96.

Importantly, no viral breakthrough was observed in any chronic HBV infection subjects receiving ALG-000184 monotherapy for up to 96 weeks. The resistant analysis reported no known CAM resistant mutations had been identified with ALG-000184 monotherapy.   

HBV RNA level achieved < LLOQ (10 copies/mL) in all HBeAg+ and HBeAg subjects by Week 52 and Week 8, respectively. Furthermore, concurrent multi-log10 reductions in HBV antigens (HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBcrAg) in HBeAg+ subjects and HBcrAg decline in HBeAg subjects were observed, suggesting the potential inhibition of cccDNA establishment by CAM-E 2nd mechanism of action of ALG-000184.

A favorable tolerability profile has been demonstrated in untreated HBeAg+ and HBeAg subjects receiving 300 mg ALG-000184 for up to 96 weeks.

Additionally, two presentations will showcase the best-in-class potential of ALG-055009, a purpose built THR-β agonist discovered by Aligos scientists. As previously presented at AASLD’s The Liver Meeting in 2024, 12-weeks of once daily ALG-055009 treatment in MASH patients met the primary endpoint, with robust reductions in liver fat content at Week 12. Doses of 0.5 mg to 0.9 mg ALG-055009 demonstrated statistically significant reductions in liver fat at Week 12, with placebo-adjusted median relative reductions up to 46.2% as measured by MRI-PDFF. Eighteen subjects who were on stable GLP-1 agonist therapy qualified for enrollment in the study, with liver fat content meeting the inclusion criteria of ≥10% at baseline as measured by MRI-PDFF. Notably, 11/14 subjects on stable GLP-1 agonists treated with ALG-055009 had liver fat decreases, whereas 4/4 subjects on stable GLP-1 agonists treated with placebo had increases in liver fat over the 12-week dosing period. Treatment with ALG-055009 was well-tolerated, with rates of gastrointestinal-related AEs similar to placebo.

New data being presented at the EASL congress will demonstrate substantial, dose-dependent reductions in liver fat were observed across all key subgroups with 12 weeks of once daily ALG-055009 treatment. In addition, statistically significant improvements in atherogenic lipids were achieved with 12 weeks of ALG-055009 treatment. Reductions in lipids/lipoproteins were observed even in the context of stable GLP-1 agonist or statin use. This data suggests an added benefit of ALG-055009 for patients at risk for cardiovascular disease in addition to the previously reported liver fat lowering properties in a MASLD/MASH population.

Details of the presentations are as follows:
