Clinical-stage biotechnology company developing small-molecule and gene therapies for rare pediatric lysosomal storage diseases.

From the annual report

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel, disease-modifying therapies for rare, pediatric LSDs. Our therapeutic philosophy is centered on delivering safe, effective, and patient-friendly treatments that address the underlying pathophysiology of these catastrophic diseases and their significant unmet need. Our multi-modal approach integrates small molecule therapies, including a combination therapy, and a gene therapy, positioning us to potentially address both the genetic and downstream pathological features of LSDs. Our small molecule drug candidates share target indications, as well as similar modes of action, that have been demonstrated to address lysosomal dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and neuronal loss in our validated animal models that closely mimic human clinical phenotypes. Our most advanced product candidate, PLX-200, targets several LSDs and we intend to launch a Phase 2 proof-of-concept basket trial which we expect will enhance PLX-200’s potential to become the standard of care across multiple LSDs. Our drug candidate pipeline includes: PLX-200 (gemfibrozil), our most advanced drug candidate, is an oral small molecule for the treatment of LSDs. PLX-200 is a repurposed, reformulated drug that we are pursuing through a 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway and is designed to be administered through a novel and proprietary oral solution.
