Minoryx is focused on the discovery and development of novel treatments for severe, orphan diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) with high unmet medical need.
- Our ScienceOur leading program is a novel, selective PPAR gamma agonist
We have discovered and developed a novel, selective PPAR gamma agonist, leriglitazone, which is currently in clinical development for multiple orphan CNS disorders. The lead indication for leriglitazone is X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy, a devastating neurodegenerative disease which exists in two forms: a chronic form, adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) and an acute form, cerebral ALD (cALD). Leriglitazone has demonstrated strong preclinical proof-of-concept in relevant animal models of disease and has successfully completed phase 1 clinical trials. Leriglitazone is currently in a registration enabling study in AMN in EU and US, a registration enabling study in cALD in EU and a proof of concept study in Friedreich Ataxia.
