Multiple sclerosis (“MS”) gradually strips people of command over their own bodies, advancing steadily with no available cure. More than 2.9 million people across the globe are currently living with the disease. But even with generations of scientific study and research, every approved treatment still falls short of one essential objective: bringing the disease to a complete stop. Existing therapies can slow its advance, but none can halt it outright. That shortfall translates into a future of mounting disability for millions of MS sufferers.
Quantum BioPharma Ltd. is determined working to change that outcome. The company is developing Lucid-MS, a patented, first-in-class drug candidate that approaches the disease from an entirely different angle by directly targeting the myelin sheath that MS destroys; the potential treatment is now preparing to move into phase 2 clinical trials.
