Vesper Bio’s Post

Vesper Bio is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Phase I study for our lead candidate #VES001, a potentially disease-modifying treatment for #frontotemporaldementia. VES001 is a first-in-class oral, brain penetrant, small molecule sortilin inhibitor designed as a potentially disease-modifying treatment for #FTD. With its unique mode of action and convenient oral daily dosing, VES001 is an ideal, patient friendly treatment option. The Phase I study was a two part trial in 78 healthy volunteers investigating safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic target engagement across single and multiple ascending dose levels. All endpoints were successfully met, with high safety and tolerability observed across the full range of doses tested. Increased progranulin levels were observed across a range of separate dose levels, showing strong target engagement levels alongside the excellent pharmacokinetic profile of VES001. These data generated in our Phase I trial demonstrate the potential of sortilin inhibition as a therapeutic approach to the treatment of FTD, and brings us one step closer to transforming patient outcomes in such a devastating disease.

FTD is such a horrible disease, this is amazing news and I hope that the trials continue to be a success and this drug can get to market.
