​KalGene Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Preventing Alzheimer's disease progression remains a critical unmet need for millions of people worldwide.

Kalgene is developing a novel fusion protein therapeutic for slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease, with technology licensed from the National Research Council of Canada.  The therapeutic targets the toxic soluble amyloid and the clinical program will focus on patients with early clinical signs of cognitive decline, before progressive neural damage causes dementia.

Today we've completed pre-clinical proof of concept work in partnership with the NRC and McGill University.  These studies have shown that the development candidate passes through the blood brain barrier and rapidly induces CSF-amyloid-beta clearance. PET studies in rat models of the disease showed dramatic plaque removal. In an aged rat disease model, neuronal connectivity using diffusion weighted MRI was vastly improved, hippocampal volume was increased and no increase in micro-hemorrhages was observed.

Priavoid

Founded on the September 18th, 2017 Priavoid GmbH  is headquartered in Jülich, near Düsseldorf, Germany.

Priavoid is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies for patients with diseases of the Central Nervous System (CNS).

We develop novel therapies for the treatment of neurological diseases based on all-D-peptides. The most advanced drug in our pipeline is PRI-002, a Phase I clinical trial candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The treatment strategy of PRI-002 differs from conventional approaches in that the so-called „toxic oligomers“ – that is the probable cause of the neurodegenerative disease – are eliminated in the presence of the drug candidate. The oral administration of PRI-002 leads to improved cognitive behavior in three different transgenic mouse models.
