Asha Therapeutics (Asha) ( www.ashatherapeutics.com ), a life sciences company designing de novo disease modifying medicines for neurodegenerative diseases with high unmet medical need, announced today the nomination of a development candidate, ASHA-624 targeting SARM1 as a potential disease modifying therapy for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) with additional indications in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN), Glaucoma, and traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries.

Key Points: 
  • Asha Therapeutics (Asha) ( www.ashatherapeutics.com ), a life sciences company designing de novo disease modifying medicines for neurodegenerative diseases with high unmet medical need, announced today the nomination of a development candidate, ASHA-624 targeting SARM1 as a potential disease modifying therapy for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) with additional indications in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN), Glaucoma, and traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries.
  • Dr. Michael Gold, MD, MS, a member of Asha’s Scientific Advisory Board noted, “SARM-1 is a well-validated therapeutic target that could yield novel therapies for patients suffering from a range of both central and peripheral nervous disorders.
  • ASHA-624 prevents the activation of SARM-1 using a completely novel approach that has the potential to deliver a therapy with robust clinical efficacy and few, if any, off-target side effects.
  • We are committed through our work to the transformation of patient outcomes, and believe ASHA-624 is a significant step forward towards achieving that goal,” commented Dr. Heckmann, PhD.
