Gain Therapeutics Inc. announced new preclinical data on its lead drug candidate, GT-02287, at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting, Neuroscience 2025, held November 15-19 in San Diego, CA. The results, presented in a poster session, demonstrated GT-02287's mechanism of action in facilitating the trafficking of glucocerebrosidase (GCase) to mitochondria and lysosomes. The data showed that GT-02287 reduced mitochondrial stress, enhanced neuronal survival in rat dopaminergic neurons, and decreased MIRO1 staining in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, suggesting improved mitochondrial health. Additionally, the compound improved mitochondrial function in patient-derived fibroblasts with GBA1 mutations. The findings support GT-02287's potential as a disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson's disease.
