Annovis Bio Inc., a pioneering biotech company specializing in transformative therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), recently released its corporate updates and financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2024. The company’s shares (NYSE: ANVS) have been making waves in the industry due to its promising progress.
Company Updates
Annovis has announced the completion of patient enrollment for its Phase 3 ANV-481 clinical trial targeting Alzheimer’s disease. This trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of ANV-481 in slowing cognitive decline in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Topline results from this study are expected in the second half of 2025.
Additionally, Annovis has initiated its Phase 2 clinical trial for ANV-3103 in Parkinson’s disease. ANV-3103 is an intranasal formulation of the neuroprotective compound, Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), which aims to slow down the progression of Parkinson’s disease. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, with results expected in late 2026.
Financial Results
For the fourth quarter of 2024, Annovis reported a net loss of $14.5 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to a net loss of $12.3 million, or $0.27 per share, in the same period the previous year. The increase in net loss was primarily due to increased research and development expenses related to the ANV-481 and ANV-3103 clinical trials.
Total revenue for the quarter was $0.1 million, compared to $0.2 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease in revenue was due to lower collaboration revenue.
For the full year 2024, Annovis reported a net loss of $63.1 million, or $1.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $55.6 million, or $1.22 per share, in 2023. The increase in net loss was primarily due to increased research and development expenses and higher general and administrative expenses.
