GME GM-Meme: GameStop tops the list this week. The stock moved on heavy volume and zero fundamentals Friday, as the original meme-stock tends to do. Keith Gill, a.k.a. Roaring Kitty, dumped his Chewy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHWY#NYSE">CHWY</a>) shares at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41614177/roaring-kitty-puts-chewy-stock-in-the-litter-box-gamestop-shares-move-higher-after-hours">end of October </a>and GameStop has climbed steadily since.&nbsp;

TSLA For President: Tesla shares blasted higher after Donald Trump won the presidential election. Tesla CEO Elon Musk joined Trump several times on the campaign trail and may even be appointed to a position in the administration.&nbsp;

Anavex Life Sciences Corp. ("Anavex" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVXL#NASDAQ">AVXL</a>), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing differentiated therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, and neuropsychiatric disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Rett syndrome, schizophrenia, and other central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today presented new data from the Phase IIb/III study showing that blarcamesine (ANAVEX&#xAE;2-73), once daily orally, demonstrates pre-specified clinical efficacy through upstream SIGMAR1 activation.
Clinical data confirmed the mechanism of action (MoA) by pre-specified SIGMAR1 gene analysis in people with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). The data were presented by Marwan Noel Sabbagh, MD, Professor of Neurology at Barrow Neurological Institute and Chairman of the Anavex Scientific Advisory Board at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) conference, which is taking place October 29 - November 1, 2024, in Madrid, Spain.
SIGMAR1 is an integral membrane protein which activates an upstream compensatory process: Blarcamesine induces autophagy through SIGMAR1 activation resulting in restoring cellular homeostasis. In Alzheimer's disease patients, mutations (variants) of genes have generally been identified as disease risk factors. Likewise, impaired SIGMAR1 function (gene mutation, variants) leads to potential suboptimal function. Hence, patients who carry the non-mutated, common SIGMAR1 wild type (WT)1 gene, are expected to have stronger beneficial response to blarcamesine than patients with a SIGMAR1 mutation (variant), who nevertheless also benefited from treatment.2
This was confirmed in the Phase IIb/III study analysis: Over 48 weeks, blarcamesine significantly slowed clinical progression by 36.3% in the primary endpoint ADAS-Cog13 [LS mean ADAS-Cog13 difference of -2.027; P=0.008] in the ITT analysis. This signal was even stronger in the pre-specified common SIGMAR1 wild type (WT) group with slowed clinical progression by 49.8% at 48 weeks in the active group vs. placebo, respectively [LS mean ADAS-Cog13 difference of -2.317; P=0.015]. Equal analysis with CDR-SB led to comparable consistent results.

Why Bank of Marin Bancorp Shares Are Trading Lower? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Monday's Mid-Day Session

On Sunday, Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVXL#NASDAQ">AVXL</a>) presented comprehensive results from the Phase 2b/3 study showing that blarcamesine (ANAVEX2-73), once daily orally, significantly slowed clinical decline in people with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g40001954/results-from-anavex-life-sciences-landmark-phase-iibiii-trial-of-blarcamesine-presented-at-alzheim" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">early Alzheimer&#8217;s disease (AD)</a>.
The data were presented at the 2024 Alzheimer&#8217;s Association International Conference (AAIC).
Blarcamesine significantly slowed clinical progression by 38.5% and 34.6% at 48 weeks in 50 mg and 30 mg groups vs. placebo, respectively, on the prespecified primary cognitive endpoint ADAS-Cog13.
As specified in the March 2024 FDA Guidance for Early AD, a sole cognitive measure can serve as the primary endpoint for early Alzheimer&#8217;s trials.
The protocol was designed with ADAS-Cog13 and ADCS-ADL as co-primary endpoints.
The functional co-primary endpoint, ADCS-ADL, was trending positive but did not reach significance at Week 48.
A possible explanation is that the ADCS-ADL scale is designed for AD with overt dementia and is less sensitive for early AD.
The prespecified key secondary composite endpoint CDR-SB, also recommended as an alternative primary endpoint for early AD in the new FDA guidance, is significant at both 30 mg and 50 mg at Week 48.
The findings are supported by biomarkers from the A/T/N spectrum, including plasma Aβ42/40-ratio and reduction of brain atrophy.
Blarcamesine significantly slowed brain atrophy in key regions of interest, including the whole brain by 37.6%, total grey matter by 63.5%, and lateral ventricles by 25.1%.
Blarcamesine demonstrated numerically superior clinical efficacy to approved therapies while also slowing neurodegeneration in early AD patients.
Blarcamesine&#8217;s safety profile indicates that routine MRI monitoring is not required.
The company says full regulatory submission of blarcamesine in Europe (EMA) is expected in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Why Pitney Bowes Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 12%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (&ldquo;Anavex&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVXL#NASDAQ">AVXL</a>), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing differentiated therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, and neuropsychiatric disorders including Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease, Parkinson&rsquo;s disease, Rett syndrome, schizophrenia, and other central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today presented comprehensive results from the Phase IIb/III study showing that blarcamesine (ANAVEX&reg;2-73), once daily orally, significantly slowed clinical decline in people with early Alzheimer&#39;s disease (AD). The data were presented by Marwan Noel Sabbagh, MD, Professor of Neurology at Barrow Neurological Institute and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board at the 2024 Alzheimer&#39;s Association International Conference (AAIC).
Blarcamesine significantly slowed clinical progression by 38.5% and 34.6% at 48 weeks in 50 mg and 30 mg groups vs. placebo, respectively, on the prespecified primary cognitive endpoint ADAS-Cog13. As specified in the March 2024 FDA Guidance for Early AD, a sole cognitive measure can serve as the primary endpoint for early Alzheimer&rsquo;s trials.1 The protocol was designed with ADAS-Cog13 and ADCS-ADL as co-primary endpoints. The functional co-primary endpoint, ADCS-ADL, was trending positive but did not reach significance at Week 48. A possible explanation is that the ADCS-ADL scale is designed for AD with overt dementia and is less sensitive for early AD.2 The prespecified key secondary composite endpoint CDR-SB, also recommended as an alternative primary endpoint for early AD in the new FDA guidance, is significant at both 30 mg and 50 mg at Week 48. The findings are supported by biomarkers from the A/T/N spectrum, including plasma A&beta;42/40-ratio and reduction of brain atrophy. Blarcamesine significantly slowed brain atrophy in key regions of interest, including the whole brain by 37.6%, total grey matter by 63.5%, and lateral ventricles by 25.1%.
