Cassava Sciences is a shambolic scientific charade.

We have assessed virtually every aspect of Cassava's programs, & reveal a pattern of deliberate, coordinated misconduct.

$SAVA

@DRnotaDR @jesse_brodkin @PatricioMarceso Image
The scientific and clinical research problems at $SAVA have not been fully appreciated by those who have been convinced that the clinical claims made by the company are meaningful. Image

$SAVA Image
After failing for years to develop a me-too opioid drug $SAVA pivots and claims to have a cure for Alzheimers. After first reporting a total failure, $SAVA "re-do" their biomarker analysis and claim miraculous results..

Cassava's clinical claims are too good to be true.. just like their preclinical fabrications

$SAVA Image
The Simufilam story is based on absurd scientific claims that no other labs have replicated or follow up, and papers with clear evidence of data manipulation..

The crazy $SAVA "Science" ... and worthless patents based Dr. Wang's faked data.
@TheIpHawk

ALL of Cassava's science relies on Dr. Hoau-Yan "Photoshop" Wang ... who has dozens of papers with clear, undeniable evidence of image manipulation. IT IS ALL MADE UP.

There is no real debate that Dr. Wang has been fabricating his research. The CP was spot on, and since then, DOZENS more examples have been identified on PubPeer, including his work with other groups. Wang is a serial fabulist. @MicrobiomDigest

But Wang can't make up ALL the clinical data.. so $SAVA had to find UNRELIABLE clinical investigators to run their trials.. $SAVA picked a doctor with the rare distinction of having received an FDA Warning Letter.

Cassava claims that Simufilam is safe. But can their poorly designed, unreliable trials run by questionable actors be trusted to assess and report safety accurately? Neither we nor the FDA can really know.

@BJSahakian we would be interested in your thoughts on this

$SAVA
Nothing about $SAVA has changed since yesterday.. so I'm going to finish tweeting out the deck from cassavafraud.com ICYMI..

on to the nonsensical clinical data Image
$SAVA relies completely on Dr. Wang.. Image
and Dr. Wang's biomarkers are as crazy as all the preclinical data Image
Image
$SAVA makes unrealistic claims across every stage of its development program.. documented in detail in our letter to FDA on cassavafraud.com

It was never just about a single paper, but a clear pattern of behavior. Image
$SAVA has never tried to properly address the many questions that have been raised.

cassavafraud.com Image
The grand $SAVA claim, of course, is that Simufilam improves cognition. But no reliable evidence of that exists. Image
$SAVA employ many tricks to make data look the way they want it to.. and when questioned, have become less transparent Image
$SAVA cherrypicking Image
.. and cutting their planned 3 month trial short to only one month Image
$SAVA key questions that FDA should be asking about the cognitive data Image
$SAVA Image
With SavaDx, $SAVA crosses into Theranos territory of fake diagnostics.. and this "trade secret" assay has been revealed to be a western blot comparing 90kDa and full-size 280kDa fragments of FLNA in PLASMA Image
It makes no sense to be measuring a protein ratio from a single band on a western, yet this is the data that $SAVA presents for SavaDx Image
Our theory of why $SAVA took the actions that it did.. Image
The FDA NEEDS TO ACT and conduct a FULL INVESTIGATION. The well documented concerns that have been raised span all of the preclinical and clinical results from $SAVA Image
Nothing has changed despite the continued manipulation of perceptions by $SAVA

We are confident in our analysis, and believe that full investigations will find significant evidence of misconduct across the Simufilam program, with dire consequences.
