Under the licensing agreement, Ferrer obtains the exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize ASN90, an O-GlcNAcase inhibitor, in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), an orphan, tau-related disease with a high unmet medical need.
The grant will fund a preclinical proof-of-concept study to assess the disease-modifying properties of Asceneuron’s OGA inhibitor ASN51 in a preclinical model of inherited PD.
Findings published demonstrated increased survival in preclinical model of Alzheimer's disease after administration of clinical molecule ASN90, an O–GlcNAcase inhibitor, as well as significant motor impairment and astrogliosis effect in a Parkinson's model.
ASN120290, an O-GlcNAcase inhibitor, is being developed for the orphan tauopathic disease, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the US FDA for the treatment of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).
