Pipeline

TargettargetmechanismDesign
CVN424 GPR6 inverse agonist, small molecule,
- GPR6 is an orphan GPCR that has enriched expression in the striatopallidal, indirect pathway, MSN neurons of the striatum
- a target present in striatal neurons that express dopamine receptor D2. The company claims that CVN424 does not affect D1-dependent pathways, and that this selective targeting will help avoid LID associated with D1 activation. CVN424 is being developed as an add-on to L-DOpa
P22019, a Phase 2, randomized, place-controlled study began enrolling 66 people with Parkinson's who experience motor fluctuations on a stable dose of levodopa. To be eligible, patients must average more than 2 hours per day of "off time," i.e., periods when symptoms reappear between levodopa doses. Participants will be randomized to high or low dose drug or placebo, taken as an oral suspension once daily for one month. The primary outcomes are adverse events and safety measures; secondary outcomes include an unspecified efficacy measures, and pharmacokinetics. This trial takes place at 16 sites across the U.S., and is expected to end in 2020.

[Results]
Beyond meeting safety objectives, the drug achieved a significant and meaningful, dose-dependent reduction of "OFF time"
P12019, Cerevance completed a Phase 1 single- and multiple-dose safety study in healthy adults. Sixty-six volunteers received single CVN424 doses from 1 to 225 mg, or seven daily doses of 25, 75, and 150 mg or matching placebo. According to an April 2019 company press release, the drug caused no serious adverse events or changes in common safety measures including vital signs, cardiac function, and laboratory analyses.

CD38 (Target 20 LO), Ceri 경험Neuroprotection AD/PDCD38 (cluster of differentiation 38), also known as cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase is a glycoprotein[5] found on the surface of many immune cells (white blood cells), including CD4+, CD8+, B lymphocytes and natural killer cells. CD38 also functions in cell adhesion, signal transduction and calcium signaling.[6]

CD38 can function either as a receptor or as an enzyme
