NEW YORK -- 

Attorney Advertising--Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of Cortexyme, Inc. ("Cortexyme" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: CRTX). Investors who purchased Cortexyme securities are encouraged to obtain additional information and assist the investigation by visiting the firm’s site: www.bgandg.com/crtx.

The investigation concerns whether Cortexyme and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated federal securities laws.

On October 26, 2021, Cortexyme issued a press release “report[ing] top-line results from its Phase 2/3 GAIN Trial, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy of atuzaginstat (COR388), an investigational orally administered small-molecule that targets gingipain proteases from the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis).” The press release reported, in relevant part, that the study had failed to meet statistical significance in its co-primary endpoints of improving cognitive and functional abilities in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. On this news, Cortexyme’s stock price plummeted during intraday trading on October 27, 2021. Then, on January 26, 2022, Cortexyme disclosed receipt of a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) advising that the FDA had “plac[ed] a full clinical hold on atuzaginstat’s (COR388) Investigational New Drug application (IND 134303).” On this news, Cortexyme’s stock price fell sharply during intraday trading on January 26, 2022.
