About RVT-101
RVT-101 is an orally administered, potent antagonist of the 5-HT6 serotonin receptor. Antagonism of the 5-HT6 receptor is a novel mechanism of action that promotes the release of acetylcholine, glutamate and other neurotransmitters thought to improve cognition and function in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. RVT-101 has been studied in 13 clinical trials involving over 1,250 human subjects with a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Axovant intends to commence a confirmatory phase 3 clinical study testing RVT-101 on a background of donepezil therapy in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease patients in the fourth quarter of 2015.
RVT-101 is an investigational new drug candidate and is not approved for any indication in any markets.
