Chaimans Address
It is a great pleasure on behalf of the Board to present the 2016 Actinogen Medical Annual Report. This year’s many achievements are the result of careful and prudent long-term strategic planning and our strong commitment to bring our distinctive novel drug Xanamem™ to market with a commercial focus on treating Alzheimer’s disease.
Xanamem™ represents a new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease – a condition with a significant unmet medical need that threatens to place a huge burden on society. Xanamem works by blocking the development and regeneration of cortisol – the “stress hormone” – which appears to contribute to the cognitive impairment, amyloid plaques and neural death, that are the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the nation’s largest public health crises and has a debilitating effect on patients and their loved ones. Currently, Alzheimer’s is the second-leading cause of death in Australia according to the ABS, and sixth-leading cause of death in the United States.
