Key Points: 
  • Heidelberg, Germany, 7 February 2024 – FundaMental Pharma GmbH (‘FundaMental’ or ’the Company’), a neuroscience company developing first-in-class small molecule inhibitors for treatment of a range of neurodegenerative diseases, today announces the publication of a groundbreaking study by Neurobiologists in Heidelberg using FundaMental Pharma’s small molecule TwinF interface inhibitor, FP802.
  • The study provides seminal preclinical proof-of-concept data for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
  • Most importantly, the validated ALS clinical biomarker neurofilament light chain (Nf-L) was reduced in line with the positive treatment effects.
  • TwinF interface inhibitors constitute an entirely new class of drugs that safely ameliorate glutamate neurotoxicity, a common cause of neurodegeneration.
