Arkuda Therapeutics is a biotechnology company leveraging new insights into progranulin and lysosomal biology to develop medicines to change the trajectory of neurodegenerative disease. Their lead compounds aim to correct progranulin deficiency and lysosomal dysfunction in GRN-related frontotemporal dementia (FTD-GRN), a genetically-defined subtype of frontotemporal dementia caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in the GRN gene.

This week at the Alzheimer's Association® International Conference, Arkuda Therapeutics will present preclinical data on lead development candidate ARKD-104, a novel oral therapeutic in development for the treatment of GRN-related frontotemporal dementia. The study showed treatment with ARKD-104 markedly increased progranulin levels – critical to restoring lysosomal function in not only FTD-GRN but in other neurodegenerative diseases. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/enX_JJcg

Congrats to Thomas Kukar's lab (+ Arkuda team members Chris Holler, Ph.D., Bonne Thompson, Giuseppe Astarita, and Jean-François Blain) on this critically important work demonstrating the important role that granulins play in FTD. 

The team at Arkuda Therapeutics continues to advance drug candidates which modulate both progranulin and granulins towards clinical studies, with the goal of someday offering novel treatments for FTD and other neurodegenerative diseases.
