The Company reported results from its Phase 2 efficacy study of Dimebon in Alzheimer’s disease in June 2007, demonstrating that Dimebon maintained statistically significant benefit over placebo on all five efficacy endpoints after one year of therapy. Further, Dimebon patients were stabilized over the one-year study period, meaning that their level of function was preserved for a full year on all five endpoints.
