Corporate Presentation summary
9 Jan, 2026Strategic vision and platform
Focused on improving outcomes for patients with CNS disorders using a circuit-driven discovery engine and diversified pipeline.
Discovery platform identifies and validates novel drug targets causally linked to disease symptoms.
Led by experts in neuropsychiatry and CNS drug development.
Strong financial position with approximately $450M in cash and runway through 2027.
Pipeline and clinical programs
Advancing a broad pipeline including ML-007C-MA for schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease psychosis (ADP), ML-004 for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and other candidates for Parkinson's and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
Phase 2 topline results for ML-007C-MA in schizophrenia and ML-004 in ASD expected in Q3 2026; ADP results expected in 2H 2027.
Ongoing studies leverage a circuit-based discovery platform for pipeline expansion.
ML-007C-MA: Lead asset profile
Novel M₁/M4 muscarinic agonist co-formulated with a peripheral antagonist, designed for robust activation and improved safety/tolerability.
Demonstrated strong in vitro and in vivo activity, with potential for comprehensive symptom improvement across positive, negative, and cognitive domains.
Phase 1 studies showed mostly mild and transient adverse events, low rates of vomiting and anticholinergic effects, and no severe or serious events.
Dosing is convenient (QD/BID), with minimal titration and no fasting requirements.
