We are pleased to announce the appointment of Kathleen Sereda Glaub, formerly executive chair, as chief executive officer. Dr. Anthony Ford will continue to lead CuraSen’s research and development as president and chief scientific officer. Patrick Enright, managing director of Longitude Capital, will become chair of the board. Along with these changes, we are expanding the indications addressed by our adrenergic activator drug candidates, including neurogenic orthostatic hypotension with Cura-AX (CST-3056), major depressive disorder in older adults with CuraCN, (formerly known as CST-103/CST-107) and Alzheimer’s disease with CuraXN (formerly known as CST-2032CST-107).https://lnkd.in/gfH4gHhE

Targeting neurodegeneration with novel science and treatments so patients can THINK, AGAIN
关于我们
It’s time to think again about therapies for neurodegenerative disease. At CuraSen, we are targeting neurodegeneration with novel science and treatments so patients can THINK, AGAIN. CuraSen Therapeutics, Inc. is a privately funded biopharmaceutical company pursuing development of novel treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as several orphan indications. Millions of patients and their families are burdened by these diseases, and the numbers continue to grow annually with the aging population. At CuraSen, we are rethinking the therapeutic approach to treatment of neurodegenerative diseases—and advancing a concept based on restoring a key functionality to a pathway lost early in the degenerating brain. This pathway emanates from the locus coeruleus (LC), site of the earliest pathology seen in these diseases – perhaps the ‘hypocenter’ of neurodegeneration. We began clinical testing of our hypothesis in 2019 using established drugs from other therapeutic areas, which has informed our development program and helped advance our first new chemical entity, CST-2032, to the clinic in September 2020. CuraSen has assembled an impressive team, deeply experienced in the neuroscience, pharmacology and clinical development core to its approach, as well as top tier investor backing, including New Leaf Venture Partners, Longitude Capital, funds managed by Tekla Capital Management LLC, Alta Partners, Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JJDC, Inc. (JJDC), and Pappas Capital.

CuraSen joins the international community in honoring the 10 million people living worldwide with Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects predominately the dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. Parkinson’s causes both motor symptoms, such as tremor, muscle stiffness and impaired gait, and non-motor-symptoms, including declines in memory, attention, social cognition and executive functioning skills. Our Phase 2 compounds, CST-103 and CST-2032, have shown robust improvements in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s patients with mild cognitive impairment by restoring adrenergic function to the brain. We look forward to testing these compounds in longer, larger studies later this year. www.curasen.com/pipeline/.

Attending the AD/PD conference in Lisbon this week? Our chief medical officer, Gabriel Vargas, MD, PhD, will give an oral presentation of our impressive Phase 2a data in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease patients this Sat March 9 at 17:25 UTC. CuraSen’s combination adrenergic activator, CST-2032/CST-107, achieved statistically and clinically important effects across several cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, executive function, facial recognition and impulse control — areas known to be impacted by adrenergic function. We plan to initiate longer studies with CST-2032/CST-107 in AD/PD patients with MCI later this year. https://lnkd.in/ghSxqppm #AD#PD#MCI

Sending warm wishes for a joyful holiday season from CuraSen. We look forward to advancing clinical testing of our novel therapeutics for the treatment of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, and other neurodegenerative diseases, in 2024. #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #Phase2
