UK-based Aclipse Therapeutics is a precision medicine biopharmaceutical company that develops novel drugs focused on neurodegenerative diseases. As of April 2022, its product pipeline consisted of only M102, its lead drug candidate developed in collaboration with the University of Sheffield in the UK. M102 is a disease-modifying small molecule drug that activates the NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) and HSF1 (Heat shock factor 1) signaling pathways, known to be impacted by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease or Lou Gehrig’s disease.
In April 2022, the firm was awarded USD 1.5 million from the United States Department of Defense’s US Army Medical Research and Development Command as part of its Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Research Program for the financial year 2021. Previously, Aclipse has received funding from FightMND in Australia, and the Medical Research Council in the UK. The funds have been earmarked to further develop its M102 drug candidate and advance it into Phase I clinical by 2023.
