Update: 2025-10-21
Description
Alector's stock price crashed after its Phase 3 trial for latozinemab, a frontotemporal dementia drug, failed. The company is halting latozinemab programs, laying off 45% of staff, and its research head is resigning. Alector is now focusing on its Alzheimer's drug, nivisnebart, and other brain disease therapies, with enough funding to last several years.
