We can now collect up to 1 year of safety and efficacy data on ATH-1017, and patients who received placebo during the randomized portion of the trial will now be able to receive up to 26 weeks of therapy,\u201d said Hans Moebius, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at Athira. \u201cIt\u2019s rewarding to have our first patients completing six months of study now continue their treatment. Our novel treatment approach is agnostic to the underlying disease pathology and is designed to focus on neuronal regeneration, which has the potential to improve clinical outcomes for patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere remains an urgent need for therapies that improve cognition for patients who are living with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer\u2019s disease,\u201d said Michael Mega, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the Center for Cognitive Health and a principal investigator in the ACT-AD trial. \u201cThe data we will continue to collect in this open label extension could help us to better understand the long-term safety and efficacy profile of ATH-1017 and could help Athira best design future clinical trials of ATH-1017.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The LIFT-AD and ACT-AD trials are evaluating ATH-1017, a small molecule therapeutic designed to enhance the activity of Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) and its receptor, MET, which are expressed in the central nervous system, in order to promote brain health and function. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials are evaluating the safety and efficacy of ATH-1017 in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Patients are stratified 1:1:1 to receive low dose ATH-1017 (40 mg\/day), high dose ATH-1017 (70 mg\/day) or placebo.<\/p>\n<p>Patients in both trials are being evaluated for improvement in cognition, global and functional assessments comparing treatment arms to placebo. In the ACT-AD trial, quantitative electroencephalograms (qEEG) are obtained, and Event-Related-Potentials (ERP P300), a functional measure of working memory processing speed and executive function is assessed. Topline data of ACT-AD are targeted for early 2022 and topline data from LIFT-AD are targeted by the end of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Following completion of the 26-week treatment period during the LIFT-AD or ACT-AD trials, patients may elect to continue on the open label extension and receive treatment with ATH-1017 at the high dose (70 mg\/day) for up to an additional 26 weeks. Investigators and patients will remain blinded to treatment group assignment in the original trials.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on LIFT-AD or ACT-AD trials, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=LH77W-XKjbpm7tFrxyi9ansOQeCh6HuJtUfMROPWIWDOFWt37LkjKqkWcmvvdYvmM_aXjRBQUtL2X1hz4JzRrYFneKoMy6RzMC9UZqagqn8=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.lift-adtrial.com<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=hFCxz-CiwqHlFcDkhZoWhuNNG0LxQrzxocatPEpiugUDWAJtjP581NKdrhzPsjAzIwWIh1YswDjTYziC5NUnbRf2b-Y84CNoKu8qfkDC9Dc=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.act-adtrial.com<\/a>.

Measures evaluating brain activity by electroencephalogram (qEEG) also produced a strong suite of translational data. Additionally, a statistically significant improvement in Event-Related Potential (ERP) P300 latency, a functional measure of working memory processing speed and executive function, was noted in patients with Alzheimer\u2019s disease following multiple dose treatments with ATH-1017 compared with those receiving placebo. Athira is seeking to confirm a connection between P300 latency improvement and clinical cognitive benefit by ATH-1017 treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>ATH-1017 Patent Allowance<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Athira was granted U.S. Patent No. 11,021,514 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on June 1, 2021, covering the composition of matter for ATH-1017. The patent is expected to provide protection to at least June 1, 2037, not including possible patent term extension of up to 5 years provided under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Restoration Act. ATH-1017 was discovered and developed in-house at Athira Pharma based on novel data generated within the company.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About\u00a0ATH-1017<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>ATH-1017 is a small molecule therapeutic specifically designed to enhance the activity of Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) and its receptor, MET, which are expressed in normal central nervous system function but depleted in Alzheimer\u2019s Disease, in order to fight neurodegeneration and regenerate brain tissue. In addition to Alzheimer\u2019s disease, ATH-1017 is designed to address the broader dementia population, including Parkinson\u2019s disease dementia. ATH-1017\u2019s novel mechanism of action is agnostic to the underlying disease pathology of Alzheimer\u2019s and other dementias. It is designed to focus on network recovery and synaptic signal transmission in the brain, which has the potential to improve clinical outcomes for patients.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Athira Pharma, Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Athira, headquartered in the Seattle area, is a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecules to restore neuronal health and stop neurodegeneration.
