Gain Therapeutics’ lead drug candidate, GT-02287, is an allosteric regulator of GCase and is in development for the treatment of PD, with GBA1-PD as the lead indication. The orally administered, brain-penetrant small molecule restores the function of GCase. In preclinical models of PD, GT-02287 restored GCase enzymatic function, reduced cellular stress in the endoplasmic reticulum, improved lysosomal function and mitochondrial function, reduced toxic glycosphingolipids, aggregated α-synuclein, neuroinflammation and neuronal death, increased dopamine levels and improved motor function. Additionally, GT-02287 significantly reduced plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels, an emerging biomarker for neurodegeneration.

Gain is conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial of GT-02287 in healthy volunteers with expected completion in the first half of 2024 and plans to initiate a patient cohort in that clinical trial in the third quarter of 2024.
