Alzheon

Develops medicines for patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders.

Article

Alzheon is a privately held clinical stage, biotechnology company based in Framingham, Massachusetts. It focuses on developing medications by directly addressing the underlying pathology of neurodegenerative disorders.

...

Founded in 2013, the company's lead product candidate is ALZ-801, a patented, orally administered prodrug of tramiprosate that is designed to inhibit amyloid oligomer formation, a key driver of Alzheimer's disease. The product is intended to focus on patients with mild Alzheimer's with the APOE4 genotype. It has been granted Fast Track Designation by the FDA in October 2017. Phase 3 clinical trials are planned for 2019. Alzheon's product pipeline also has ALZ-1903, a pre-clinical candidate with the potential to inhibit amyloid misfolding.

In April 2018, the company planned an $80 million IPO, but soon withdrew the offer. It re-announced later in August a $40 million IPO. However, that too was withdrawn in January 2019.
