Azeliragon (TTP488 or PF-04494700) is a small-molecule RAGE inhibitor. It is developed by vTv Therapeutics for various cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer [1] [2] and pancreatic cancer. [3]

The chemical reached Phase III trials in slowing cognitive deterioration in early stage Alzheimer's disease patients. [4] [5] [6] It was also tested in people with diabetic neuropathy [7] and animal models of graft-vs-host disease. [8]
