Monument Therapeutics Announces Grant of UK Patent for Neuroinflammation Compound MT1980
"The granting of this patent represents a significant achievement in our research and development efforts," said Jenny Barnett , Chief Executive Officer of Monument Therapeutics. "MT1980's innovative approach to targeting neuroinflammation positions us at the cutting edge of therapeutic advancement in psychiatry and neurology. We believe this compound has the potential to address significant unmet medical needs and our team is excited to advance MT1980 through the next stages of clinical development."
Dr Robin Bannister Chief Executive Officer of TRx Biosciences said, "TRx is delighted to see this first grant of a therapeutic composition derived from our LipiCore™ platform and continues to support Monument in its efforts to progress the MT1980 programme."
In preclinical studies to date, MT1980 has shown significant brain uptake and strong anti-inflammatory activity across a panel of key biomarkers, with Phase I clinical data demonstrating an excellent safety profile and presence of drug in cerebrospinal fluid. Monument Therapeutics now plans a further Phase I multiple dosing study with MT1980, in addition to evidence of anti-neuroinflammatory effects in the brain.
Monument Therapeutics is bringing stratified medicine to CNS drug development. The company uses proprietary digital biomarkers to reduce heterogeneity and identify patients with homogenous underlying neurobiology, which are then matched with appropriately targeted compounds.
