About
Vivoryon Therapeutics N.V. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm dedicated to discovering and developing novel treatments for Alzheimer's disease. The company's therapeutic pipeline primarily focuses on mitigating Alzheimer's by targeting and preventing the formation of toxic pyroglutamate-Abeta (pGlu-Abeta). Its flagship compound, PQ912, a small molecule QC inhibitor, has successfully concluded Phase IIb clinical trials for both Alzheimer's disease and various cancer indications. Additionally, Vivoryon is advancing PQ1565, another small molecule (a glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase-like inhibitor), through preclinical development, specifically for cancer therapy. Beyond its small molecule programs, the company is also developing a monoclonal antibody designed to improve the clearance of pGlu-Abeta from the body. To bolster its research and development efforts, Vivoryon has forged several key partnerships, including collaborations with the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein for cancer immunotherapy discovery, Nordic Bioscience for the clinical progression of PQ912 in Alzheimer's, and the Fraunhofer Institute for cell therapy and immunology. Furthermore, a significant regional licensing agreement with Simcere Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. aims to develop and commercialize treatments for Alzheimer's disease by targeting the neurotoxic amyloid species N3pE (pGlu-Abeta). Established in 1997, Vivoryon Therapeutics N.V. maintains its headquarters in Halle, Germany.
