Corporate presentation summary
3 Mar, 2026Strategic focus and pipeline
Advancing a clinical-stage, one-time gene therapy (PBFT02) for frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with GRN mutations, showing potential best-in-class efficacy.
Pursuing preclinical development of a gene therapy targeting Huntington's disease by reducing MSH3 to limit CAG repeat expansion.
Pipeline also includes programs for FTD-C9orf72 and potential expansion into ALS and Alzheimer's disease.
Cash runway is projected through Q1 2027, with a $46 million balance as of December 31, 2025.
PBFT02 clinical and preclinical data
PBFT02 uses AAV1 vector delivered via intra-cisterna magna (ICM) for broad CNS distribution and durable elevation of CSF progranulin (PGRN).
Interim clinical data show robust, sustained increases in CSF PGRN in FTD-GRN patients, with levels reaching or exceeding the healthy adult range.
Early evidence of reduced plasma neurofilament light chain (NFL) suggests slowed disease progression compared to natural history.
Preclinical studies in mice and non-human primates demonstrated improved lysosomal function, reduced neuroinflammation, and broad vector biodistribution.
Safety and competitive positioning
PBFT02 was generally well tolerated; all serious adverse events at Dose 1 were asymptomatic and resolved, with no complications at Dose 2.
PBFT02 offers a one-time, non-surgical treatment with higher and more durable CSF PGRN levels than competitors.
Manufacturing milestones include FDA alignment on potency assays and a high-yield process capable of producing over 1,000 doses per lot.
