About Azeliragon

Azeliragon is an orally administered capsule, taken once daily, that inhibits interactions of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (known as RAGE) with certain ligands, including HMGB1 and S100 proteins in the tumor microenvironment. Azeliragon was discovered by and originally under development for Alzheimer's disease by vTv Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: VTVT), from which Cantex licensed worldwide rights to azeliragon. Clinical safety data from these trials, involving more than 2,000 individuals dosed for periods up to 18 months, indicate that azeliragon is very well tolerated.

Cantex has multiple ongoing clinical trials as noted above. These trials are based on azeliragon's robust preclinical data as well as its extensive clinical safety information from randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials.
