Gain Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GANX) has announced that its Chief Medical Officer, Jonas Hannestad, M.D., Ph.D., will present at the Michael J. Fox Foundation's 16th Annual Parkinson's Disease Therapeutics Conference on October 17, 2024, in New York City. The presentation will focus on the company's clinical stage lead drug candidate GT-02287, which is being developed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Dr. Hannestad's oral presentation, titled 'Brain-penetrant small molecule GT-02287 is well-tolerated in healthy volunteers, shows GCase target engagement, and achieves therapeutic exposures shown to modulate PD pathobiology in preclinical models,' will be part of the conference's first session, 'Progress in the Therapeutics Pipeline.' The presentation will include Phase 1 data for GT-02287 and recent preclinical findings.
The Parkinson's Disease Therapeutics Conference is the only global event focused exclusively on Parkinson's disease drug development, bringing together 300 research and clinical development professionals from academia and industry to showcase innovative research from MJFF's portfolio.
Gain Therapeutics presented new preclinical data for GT-02287 at the Society for Neuroscience 2024 conference. The data demonstrates disease-modifying activity in both GBA-1 and idiopathic Parkinson's disease models. Key findings include:
1. Persistent rescue of motor and cognitive function after GT-02287 discontinuation
2. Improved mitochondrial function and neuroprotection in GBA1-Parkinson's disease models
3. Reduction in Tau accumulation in GBA-1 mutation and wild type cell lines
The results suggest GT-02287's potential as a disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson's disease and possibly Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. The compound showed positive effects on mitochondrial and lysosomal health, addressing the disease cascade resulting from GCase dysfunction.
Gain Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced participation in two upcoming investor conferences. Gene Mack, interim CEO and CFO, will represent the company at the 3rd Annual ROTH Healthcare Opportunities Conference on October 9, engaging in one-on-one meetings and a panel on 'Emerging Frontiers in Neuroscience'. He will also attend the 2024 Maxim Healthcare Virtual Summit on October 15, participating in a fireside chat with Jason McCarthy, Ph.D., from Maxim Group. Interested attendees can sign up on M-Vest for updates.
Gain Therapeutics presented Phase 1 data for GT-02287, its lead drug candidate for Parkinson's disease, at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders. The study demonstrated that GT-02287 was safe and well-tolerated in healthy volunteers, with no serious adverse events. Notably, the drug increased GCase activity by approximately 30% in subjects who received GT-02287, indicating target engagement. The drug also showed CNS exposure, with measurable levels in cerebrospinal fluid.
The company plans to initiate a trial in Parkinson's disease patients by the end of Q4 2024, aiming to demonstrate safety, tolerability, and obtain proof of mechanism based on relevant biomarkers. Gain Therapeutics remains optimistic about GT-02287's potential as a disease-modifying treatment for Parkinson's disease.
Gain Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GANX) announced a virtual webinar on September 30, 2024, at 8:30 am ET to discuss results from the Phase 1 study of GT-02287, their novel GCase-targeting small molecule therapy for Parkinson's disease. The company will present positive results recently shared at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders® (MDS) and outline the design of an upcoming Phase 1b trial in Parkinson's disease patients.
