PETALING JAYA: Genting Bhd’s 20.6% associate, TauRx Pharmaceuticals (TauRx) is still pinning its hopes on an Alzheimer’s disease drug called the LMTX, according to UOB Kay Hian Research.

“A few weeks earlier, TauRX announced mixed results for its first Phase three clinical trial, which showed that while LMTX as an add-on therapy showed no beneficial effect, LMTX as a monotherapy demonstrated significant reductions in disease progression in mild and moderate Alzheimer’s disease,” the research house said.
