Eikonizo is developing life-changing therapies by creating brain-penetrant small molecules and deploying in vivo target engagement techniques to accelerate the identification of therapeutics. Our first program is focused on a disease-modifying therapeutic for neurodegenerative diseases.
I was very grateful to attend #alsmndsymp and have the opportunity to present the latest from Eikonizo Therapeutics on our lead program EKZ-102. I learned a lot and met so many wonderful people in the community. Looking forward to the next one!
We’re thrilled to announce an investment by Novo Nordisk which will support development of our lead candidate EKZ-102 for ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases and enable the advancement of our novel HDAC6 inhibitors as potential disease-modifying therapeutics for cardiorenal disease. EKZ-102 is a highly selective, uniquely CNS-penetrant HDAC6 inhibitor with strong potential to be a first-in-class, disease-modifying therapy for ALS and other indications.
