On May 1, 2017, Neurotrope announced "positive top-line results" of the focal Phase 2b trials of Bryostatin-1, mentioning "improvement in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease," Conversely, the trial data allegedly negates these statements, as the top-line data relating to the 20 microgram dose of Bryostatin-1 did not produce statistically significant results.

Following this news, Neurotrope stock dropped from a close of $18.81 per share on April 28, 2017, to a close at $6.97 per share on May 1, 2017.
