  • Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease (JPAD) informed Cassava Sciences Inc SAVA about no convincing evidence to support data manipulation allegations in a 2020 paper on simufilam co-authored by the company's personnel and its science collaborators.
  • Simufilam, Cassava's Alzheimer's candidate, is a small molecule (oral) drug that restores the normal shape and function of altered filamin A protein in the brain. 
  • "From the onset, I have said that allegations of research misconduct are false, and for a good reason – I see no supporting evidence for the allegations," said Remi Barbier, President & CEO. 
  • "I'm hopeful that written pronouncements from neutral and independent science experts will help close the chapter of baseless attacks against our science."
