Alzheon IPO take two: Will in­vestors back a down­sized of­fer­ing from an Alzheimer’s biotech?

Alzheon couldn’t man­age to pull off an $80 mil­lion IPO as a string of biotechs lined up to go pub­lic ear­li­er this year. So now the biotech’s ex­ec­u­tive crew will take a shot at about half that much mon­ey as they look to en­gage some in­vestors who would like to tread in the ul­tra-risky field of Alzheimer’s drug recla­ma­tion work.

The biotech, run by Mar­tin To­lar, pulled back from the mar­ket just 4 months ago, un­able to float shares. It filed anew on Mon­day, still fo­cused on rais­ing cash to get its drug ALZ-801 back in­to the clin­ic.
