Developing a new class of therapeutics for neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases
关于我们
Who we are In most neurodegenerative diseases we lose connections - synapses – between neurons, a process that contributes to declines in cognition and motor function that characterize these diseases. At Spinogenix we are developing first-in-class, novel small molecule drugs (SPGs) that restore synapses to improve and potentially restore cognitive and motor function. Our approach is unique for diseases of the central nervous system. Mission Our mission is to create transformative therapeutics for diseases involving synaptic loss and dysfunction. Our approach is focused on regenerating synapses to reverse declines in cognitive and motor function. This approach is unique among the many therapeutics that are being developed for neurodegenerative conditions, which mostly aim to slow the degenerative process. We envision the use of SPGs as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapeutics that target disease-specific degenerative processes. Our Science In contrast to much research focused on alleviating the symptoms of neurodegenerative disease, we seek to develop therapies that impact the underlying disease and fundamentally change treatment paradigms by restoring neuronal connections regardless of the underlying cause of synapse loss. Spinogenix has discovered compounds (SPGs) that restore lost synapses. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of these “spinogenic” molecules in cells and in multiple animal models of neurodegeneration. SPGs have a novel molecular target and their mechanism of action is well understood and unique. This mechanism would be operative in all diseases where synapse loss occurs, irrespective of the pathological basis of synapse loss.

The search for effective treatments for #ALS continues, but progress has been challenging. The recent results from the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial underscore the difficulty of developing new therapies for this devastating condition. And current therapies available to most ALS patients offer only a very modest extension of life. Despite setbacks, innovation continues, and new approaches offer hope. Spinogenix’s SPG302 is a first-in-class synaptic regenerative drug tablet aimed at reversing declines in cognitive, motor, and respiratory function. Unlike therapies that focus on slowing degeneration, SPG302 is the first treatment designed to potentially restore function, offering new hope for people with ALS. SPG302 has received FDA orphan drug designation and is currently in phase 2 clinical trials.

Schizophrenia affects millions worldwide, yet existing treatments primarily focus on symptom management rather than addressing the underlying biology. Research shows that synapse loss is a key factor in cognitive deficits and functional decline. At Spinogenix, we are pioneering the first synaptic regenerative therapy for schizophrenia, with the potential to restore cognitive function, reduce symptoms and improve patient outcomes.

Current Alzheimer’s treatments focus on slowing progression—but what if we could go beyond that? At Spinogenix, we’ve developed the first synaptic regenerative therapy designed to restore lost cognitive function. SPG302 is a once-daily tablet that aims to rebuild synapses—the brain’s key connections for memory and cognition—offering hope?for a more accessible and effective alternative to?current treatments. Our Phase 2 clinical trials in Australia are advancing this groundbreaking approach. ?

Last night at the NIH Fragile X Centers of Excellence Update conference, Dr. Craig Erickson, Spinogenix Chief Medical Advisor, announced promising Phase 2 study results for SPG601, a new therapy for Fragile X syndrome (FXS): a genetic disorder, the leading inherited cause of intellectual disability, and a known cause of autism. SPG601 is designed to improve core symptoms of FXS by targeting a key molecular dysfunction at the synaptic level. With no approved treatments currently available, Spinogenix is committed to advancing this much-needed therapy to enhance the overall quality of life for those affected. Dr. Erickson, who served as principal investigator of the study conducted at Cincinnati Children's, said, “This is the strongest test result to date demonstrating a therapy normalizing gamma band activity, which is directly associated with learning, memory, and typical brain activity.” The FDA granted Orphan Drug and Fast Track designation to SPG601, and Spinogenix and Cincinnati Children’s are completing analysis of the full study results in preparation for publication.

We are thrilled to share that Dr. Craig Erickson, Spinogenix Chief Medical Advisor, will present our Phase 2 study results of SPG601 to treat #FXS at the NIH Fragile X Centers of Excellence Conference on February 10. With Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations granted from the FDA, SPG601 and this research, conducted at Cincinnati Children's, represent an important step forward in advancing hope for a novel new therapy for the Fragile X community. Dr. Erickson is the principal investigator of the SPG601 Phase 2 study in FXS and also the research director and an associate professor in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Cincinnati Children’s, where he and his lab team study translational treatment development for neurodevelopmental disorders, with a focus on FXS and autism spectrum disorder. Families, researchers, and advocates interested in learning more about this breakthrough study can register for free to attend the webinar.

#FragileXsyndrome (FXS)?is a common inherited form of #autism, affecting thousands of families worldwide. Individuals with FXS face challenges like severe anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and developmental seizures, placing an immense emotional and financial burden on caregivers. In the U.S. alone, direct family healthcare costs for FXS total $4.1 billion annually. Despite this impact, there are no FDA-approved treatments for FXS—leaving this community underserved. ? At Spinogenix, we’re committed to changing that. Our work focuses on restoring synaptic health, and our innovative therapy, SPG601, recently received FDA Fast Track Designation. This milestone represents hope for families impacted by FXS and autism as we strive to address this critical unmet need. ?

Spinogenix is transforming the treatment landscape for a wide range of diseases by targeting a common and fundamental feature: synapse deterioration. These neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental conditions, including #Alzheimer’s, #ALS, #Schizophrenia, #FragileXSyndrome—collectively known as “synaptopathies”—share a progressive loss of synapses as a hallmark. Synapses are the vital connections between neurons that enable cognition, movement, perception, memory, and more. Their loss is not just an early marker of disease but a critical driver of its progression. At Spinogenix, we are pioneering first-in-class therapeutics designed to restore synapses, offering the potential to reverse disease?at their core. Our innovative approach is grounded?in?addressing the root cause of synaptopathies, setting a new standard for the future of neuroscience therapeutics.
