$IKT looks to have quite promising treatments coming for the very serious issue of Parkinson's Disease to actually reverse its debilitating symptoms.
From the company website:
IkT-148009 for Parkinson’s Disease
Our lead small-molecule product candidate, IkT-148009, is an Abelson tyrosine kinase inhibitor (a c-Abl inhibitor) that targets underlying disease mechanisms to halt the progression and reverse functional loss of Parkinson’s disease in the brain and the GI complications of Parkinson’s disease. We believe that IkT-148009 is the only disease-modifying drug in development for Parkinson’s disease that is focused on a clinically validated target and that IkT-148009 has the potential to be the first disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson’s disease that blocks a checkpoint on the pathway that drives Parkinson’s disease progression.
ABOUT IKT-148009
First-in-class Therapy to Reverse the Course of Parkinson’s Disease
Inhibikase Therapeutics’ lead product candidate, IkT-148009, is a highly potent, first-in-class, small-molecule medication designed and engineered as a chronically administered, once-daily oral medication that targets an underlying biological mechanism that leads to Parkinson’s disease, with the goal of halting disease progression and reversing functional loss. IkT-148009 is designed to block the activation of Abl kinase, a clinically validated drug target, to halt and reverse the loss of dopamine-secreting neurons in the brain and GI tract by restoring neuroprotective mechanisms.Having demonstrated that Abl kinase inhibition can protect against disruption of development and progression of Parkinson’s-like syndrome in the brain and GI tract in animal models using IkT-148009, we submitted two Investigational New Drug (IND) applications in February, 2019, to begin clinical development in multiple classes of Parkinson’s patients. Clinical development should proceed through 2024.
