– Milestone marks Nura Bio’s transition to a clinical-stage company
Excerpt from the Press Release:
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nura Bio, Inc. (Nura Bio), a biopharmaceutical company developing neuroprotective, small molecule therapies for the treatment of debilitating neurological diseases, today announced the initiation of the Phase 1 clinical trial of its SARM1 inhibitor, NB-4746.
NB-4746 is believed to be a first-in-class, oral, brain-penetrant, neuroprotective SARM1 inhibitor with broad therapeutic potential across diseases of the central, peripheral, and ocular nervous systems. NB-4746 confers significant structural and functional protection in several preclinical disease models including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN). In preclinical models, NB-4746 significantly reduced and in some cases prevented, an increase in levels of the axonal injury-dependent, disease-associated biomarker neurofilament light (NfL).
“We are excited about the potential of NB-4746,” said David Lau, PhD, Senior Vice President, Development Sciences, Nura Bio. “We expect to enter clinical trials in a patient population in 2024, to evaluate the impact of NB-4746 on axonal injury and NfL levels.”
