Kareus Therapeutics Announces Phase I trial for product in Alzheimer's Disease
The Phase I clinical trial is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled two-part study to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending oral doses and of multiple ascending oral doses of KU-046 in 54 healthy young volunteers.
Kareus has developed a pipeline of novel molecules targeting diseases of the central nervous system based on its proprietary KARLECT chemistry and drug discovery platforms which target dysfunctional energy production in neurons. KU-046 targets bioenergetics pathways upstream from the increased abeta peptide production found in Alzheimer’s disease. It has demonstrated significant improvement in cognition in a number of pre-clinical models.
