Gain Therapeutics (GANX) presented new preclinical data and Phase 1b study design for GT-02287 at AD/PD 2025 Conference. The oral presentation revealed evidence of disease-modifying activity in both GBA1 and idiopathic Parkinson's disease models.
The preclinical data showed GT-02287's ability to rescue motor deficits and prevent complex behavioral deficits, with effects persisting after compound withdrawal. Several biomarkers including α-synuclein, IRE-1, LAMP-1, Miro1, phospho-Tau, and Iba-1 showed statistically significant reductions and maintained lower levels post-treatment.
The ongoing Phase 1b study is evaluating safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in Parkinson's disease patients. An early biomarker analysis is scheduled for Q2 2025, with complete endpoint analysis expected in Q4 2025. The company anticipates completing enrollment by Q2 2025, with Phase 2 planning set to begin in H2 2025.
Gain Therapeutics (NASDAQ: GANX) has announced its upcoming poster presentation at the AD/PD™ 2025 International Conference in Vienna, Austria, scheduled for April 1-5, 2025. The presentation will detail the design of their Phase 1b clinical trial for GT-02287 in Parkinson's disease.
The poster (Number: SHIFT 02-072), titled 'Design of a Phase 1b Study to Evaluate the GCase-Targeting Molecule GT-02287 in GBA1-PD and Sporadic PD,' will be presented by Raffaella Pozzi, Vice President of Clinical Operations at Gain Therapeutics.

Recent developments include new clinical data showing >50% increase in GCase activity among GT-02287 recipients, favorable safety profiles, and the appointment of Gene Mack as President and CEO. The company plans to submit an IND to FDA by year-end 2025.
Gain Therapeutics (NASDAQ: GANX) has announced the dosing of the first Parkinson's disease (PD) participant in its Phase 1b clinical trial of GT-02287, their lead allosteric small molecule therapy. The open-label, multi-center trial will evaluate safety and tolerability in up to 20 participants with GBA1-PD and idiopathic PD over three months.
The study follows a successful Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers completed in Q3 2024, where GT-02287 showed favorable safety and tolerability, achieved desired plasma and CNS exposures, and demonstrated over 50% increase in glucocerebrosidase (GCase) activity. Secondary endpoints for the Phase 1b trial include pharmacokinetics, GCase modulation, and biomarker levels in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.
An interim analysis from the Phase 1b trial is expected by the end of Q2 2025.
