Voyager to develop Alzheimer’s treatment for women

US-based Voyager terminated the trial of Memryte, an investigational drug for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, in October 2006. The pharmaceutical company’s pipeline Alzheimer’s disease treatment uses Durect’s sustained-release technology.

According to Durect, Voyager now intends to work on developing Memryte for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in women and on seeking a potential partner for the program.

Durect said that it has not independently verified the analysis performed or conclusions made by Voyger during the company’s late-stage trials of Memryte.
