Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
As our research and clinical development operations team worked diligently to progress CT1812, we are pleased to see the most positive – the recent positive events in the Alzheimer’s field, including the full approval of LEQEMBI
Now there’s neurophysiology data, another positive signal and when given the opportunity to explain those things, we feel that there is a good understanding of why we’re excited about this study
We feel like that is extremely positive
In the second quarter of 2023, we continued the progress and execution shown in the first quarter of the year, our clinical leadership team continues to build what we believe will be a compelling evidence for the neuroprotective effects of orally delivered CT1812, our lead candidate
CT1812 also improved the connectivity between brain regions, which may allow for a more ready exchange of information between the regions
The return to normal wave patterns that is the proportion of alpha versus beta then people do understand better why we are so excited about the results to be able to show what looks like synapses behaving as they would in a healthy non-demented adult
As our work continues through the second half of 2023 and 2024, I want to express our gratitude to the community of patients and caregivers, to investigators who have shown such enthusiasm for our programs as well as to our partners and collaborators, the NIA and other leading institutions who have been generous in their support as well as to our team
To date, we have received over $170 million in cumulative non-dilutive grant awards from the NIA through a highly competitive peer-reviewed application process which we view as a validation of our scientific foundation
We are in a unique position among peers that have the majority of our clinical trials funded by non-dilutive capital
For a chronic neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s disease, we are encouraged to see these changes in a short period of time and in a population of only 16 patients
Said another way, we have shown consistent, measurable proteomic impact across our targets
To conclude, let me reiterate our commitment to leading scientific and clinical innovation in order to create disease-modifying therapies that are both accessible and convenient for patients and their caregivers
Fox Foundation and other key associations have us positioned to advance CT1812 through the Phase 2 SHINE and SHIMMER trials
Our continued execution across operations, combined with the grant funding support from the NIA, the Michael J
Good deal
Our commitment to financial stewardship, together with support from our grant funding enabled us to extend our cash runway through the third quarter of 2024
That study is a success from our perspective
We moved through the second quarter on a sound financial footing
Congratulations to the progress this quarter
But sitting here today, we believe that’s a really important potential market for us, a large market, one that offers convenience and perhaps improve safety because you’re not dealing with these injections
As we make progress in our work, we remain focused on delivering long-term value for our shareholders who have supported us in this process
We also believe that administration of an oral drug will likely ease the burden of administration and access to therapy
Since the company was founded, these associations have helped us raise approximately $171 million in non-dilutive funding, of which $81.8 million remains at the end of Q2 2023
Third, we have preliminary cognitive data from the first cohort of patients in the SHINE study, and we have just added neurophysiology evidence demonstrating that CT1812 improved brain activity and connectivity compared to placebo as measured by quantitative EEG in our SEQUEL study
The target we’re going after will be an important commercial target, we believe the differentiation of our drug, we think is significant right, patients taking an oral drug as opposed to having an injection
Physicians will get educated on the fact that there are treatment options for this population, and we believe when we launch our drug could be a very reasonable first-line therapy for patients and perhaps even for patients that are not seeing significant enough benefit with the intravitreal injection
Great, thank you
Great, thank you
We are driven to execute on aggressive milestones we have set for our trials
So we believe we will prevent that toxicity
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
We have to prove the efficacy and safety of our drug first
Second, this engagement has physiologic consequences demonstrated by the results of anatomical endpoints in our SPARK trial that is to say slowing of brain volume atrophy
The company reported a net loss of $4.7 million or $0.16 per basic and diluted share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $5.8 million or $0.25 per share during the same period in 2022
Actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied by these forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with the company’s business
I had a couple of questions on SHINE, however
