Millions of people worldwide suffer from neurodegenerative diseases that impair memory, focus and thinking and impact their ability to go about their daily lives. By applying our novel approach, we believe the synaptic dysfunction responsible for disease symptoms and progression can be reversed before the death of nerve cells.
DLB Clinical Trial Now Enrolling
HOPE THROUGH SCIENCE
We are developing neflamapimod – an oral, selective small molecule inhibitor of the protein kinase p38 alpha. Extensive research has shown that p38 alpha is a key driver of synaptic dysfunction, the reversible aspect of the neurodegenerative process. The preclinical data with neflamapimod, along with evidence from recent phase 2 clinical studies in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), strongly suggest that inhibition of p38 alpha by neflamapimod reverses the synaptic dysfunction that underlies development of symptoms and disease progression in the early stages of many neurological disorders.
PipelineDosed first patient in Phase 2b RewinD-LB study evaluating neflamapimod in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) Multiple peer-reviewed journal publications and a conference presentation inform on the potential
With incorporation of key learnings, Phase 2b has >95% (approaching 100%) statistical power to meet its primary endpoint: change in Clinical Dementia Rating Sum-of-Boxes (CDR-SB) vs. placebo New data included
Final publication in Neurology® of Phase 2a Results Stratified by Plasma Phosphorylated Tau Status at Baseline Strengthens the Case for Progressing Neflamapimod as a Disease-Modifying Treatment for Dementia with Lewy
