Cassava Sciences' lead therapeutic drug candidate, simufilam, is in Phase 3 clinical studies for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease dementia, with top-line results expected by year-end 2024 and mid-year 2025 for their two studies. The company's investigational diagnostic product, SavaDx, is a blood-based diagnostic for Alzheimer's, though its development is deprioritized compared to simufilam. Cassava Sciences has not generated revenue from product sales and has an accumulated deficit of $355.7 million as of March 31, 2024. The company's cash and cash equivalents stood at $124.2 million, which they believe is sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. Cassava Sciences' financial strategy includes potential future funding through public or private financing.
