Corporate presentation summary
3 Aug, 2026Mission and leadership
Focused on developing transformative medicines for CNS disorders, including TSC-related epilepsy, by targeting filamin A dysregulation.
Leadership team includes experienced executives and scientific advisors, such as Dr. Angélique Bordey and Dr. Joseph Hulihan.
Simufilam development and scientific rationale
Simufilam is a novel, oral, first-in-class filamin A modulator with a strong safety profile from over 2,000 patients in prior trials.
Preclinical studies in two mouse models (Yale and TSCA) show simufilam reduces seizure frequency and improves neuron morphology.
Simufilam targets filamin A, a protein implicated in abnormal brain development and seizures in TSC, independent of mTOR pathways.
Patent for simufilam's use in TSC-related epilepsy was issued in 2025 and licensed from Yale.
TSC-related epilepsy background and market
TSC is a genetic disorder affecting multiple organs, with epilepsy as the most common neurological manifestation.
80–90% of TSC patients experience seizures, and over 60% are refractory to current antiepileptic therapies.
U.S. prevalence of TSC is about 50,000, with 40–45k affected by epilepsy.
Current FDA-approved therapies for TSC-related epilepsy are limited, highlighting unmet medical need.
