Corporate presentation summary
12 May, 2026Therapeutic focus and pipeline
Developing gene therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, targeting FTD-GRN, FTD-C9orf72, and Huntington's disease.
PBFT02 is a clinical-stage, one-time gene therapy for FTD-GRN, with differentiated approaches for Huntington's disease in preclinical development.
Pipeline expansion opportunities include ALS and Alzheimer's disease.
$33.3M in cash resources as of March 31, 2026.
PBFT02 clinical and preclinical data
PBFT02 uses AAV1 vector for direct CSF delivery, achieving robust and durable increases in CSF progranulin levels in FTD-GRN patients.
Interim data show 64% reduction in whole brain atrophy and 54% reduction in frontotemporal cortex atrophy at 12 months for CDR 1 patients.
Plasma NfL biomarker remained stable at 12 months, contrasting with increases in natural history cohorts.
PBFT02 was generally well tolerated, with all serious adverse events asymptomatic and no evidence of DRG toxicity or complications from the procedure.
Preclinical models demonstrated PBFT02's ability to ameliorate TDP-43 pathology and improve lysosomal function and neuroinflammation.
Market opportunity and disease background
Estimated prevalence: 18,000 FTD-GRN, 21,000 FTD-C9orf72, and 70,000 Huntington's disease patients in US/EU.
FTD is a fatal, rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease with no approved disease-modifying therapies.
Progranulin deficiency is central to FTD-GRN pathology, leading to lysosomal dysfunction and neurodegeneration.
Huntington's disease is caused by CAG repeat expansion in the HTT gene, leading to mutant huntingtin protein and progressive neurological decline.
