Progress?
Are we making progress? Yes, we are.
1)We have discovered FDA-approved drugs that can potentially delay the progression of Wolfram. We are actively conducting a trial in one of our mouse models of Wolfram syndrome. The results look promising, but I have been trying to be cautious.
2)Our collaboration with the drug development team at National Institutes of Health/NCATS has been going very well. We have identified new drugs for Wolfram syndrome. Further preclinical studies needed and I am quite hopeful.
3)The development of regenerative therapy using a biologic called MANF is ongoing. We are getting positive preclinical data.
