Dow Jones Description

Applied NeuroSolutions, Inc. (OTC BB:APSN - News) is developing diagnostics and therapeutics to detect and treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) building on discoveries originating from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Applied NeuroSolutions is in a collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company to develop novel therapeutic compounds to treat the progression of AD. For its diagnostic pipeline, Applied NeuroSolutions is focused on both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests to detect AD at a very early stage. The CSF based P-Tau 231 test now being offered for use in clinical trials can effectively differentiate AD patients from those with other neurological diseases that have similar symptoms. There is currently no FDA approved diagnostic test to detect AD. Alzheimer's disease currently afflicts over five million Americans, and the world market for AD therapy is currently estimated to be nearly 30 million patients.
