New analyst at Desjardins Securities initiates coverage of Neurochem. About Neurochem
Neurochem is an industry leader in the development of therapeutic drugs and diagnostic tools
for central nervous system (CNS) and amyloid-related diseases associated with aging. The
Company has to date advanced three drug candidates to clinical trials: Fibrillex™, for
the life-threatening orphan disease, secondary amyloidosis in a pivotal Phase II/III clinical
trial, Alzhemed™, for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease advancing to Phase II clinical
trials, and Cerebril™, for hemorrhagic stroke also advancing to Phase II clinical
trials. The Company has built a strong product pipeline by developing a novel, proprietary
series of compounds that inhibit the formation, deposition and toxic effects of amyloid
fibrils within the body. Neurochem's overall therapeutic programs target CNS disorders
including Alzheimer's disease, epileptic seizures caused by head trauma or acute brain
injury, and hemorrhagic stroke (due to cerebral amyloid angiopathy), and other
life-threatening diseases including systemic amyloidosis and amyloid-associated diabetes
type II. (www.neurochem.com).
