New treatments for neurodegenerative disease

Alsonex develops first-in-class therapies for the diseases medicine has struggled hardest to treat — advancing its lead compound, ALS-205, toward a new option for people living with Motor Neuron Disease.

Our principal commercial objective

A focused path from the laboratory to the patient.

The objective is to develop a new treatment option for people with neurodegenerative disease — and to enhance shareholder value through the clinical development of ALS-205.

  • The lead compound has completed Phase I (Single & Multiple Ascending Dose) in healthy volunteers, establishing a suitable dose.
  • A Phase Ib trial in subjects with MND demonstrated safe target engagement in the intended population.
  • Additional indications include Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease.
