Filana Therapeutics Inc

Filana Therapeutics, Inc. engages in the development of novel drugs and diagnostics. The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas and currently employs 17 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2000-07-14. The firm's science is based on stabilizing, but not removing, a critical protein in the brain for patients with disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease or TSC. The company has two biopharmaceutical assets under development: Simufilam and SavaDx. Simufilam, its lead therapeutic product candidate, is an oral treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and TSC-related epilepsy. Simufilam targets an altered form of a protein called filamin A (FLNA) in the brain of patients with disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease or TSC. SavaDx, its lead investigational diagnostic product candidate, is an early-stage program focused on detecting the presence of Alzheimer’s disease from a small sample of blood.
