Filana Therapeutics, Inc., was incorporated in Delaware in May 1998. The company is a clinical-stage biotechnology company headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company is committed to developing transformative drugs to improve the lives of patients with central nervous system diseases, focusing on diseases related to filament A disorders or overexpression, such as tuberous sclerosis-related epilepsy. At the heart of its scientific approach lies in regulating the activity of this key protein in the brain. The company's main therapeutic drug under development, simufilam, is an oral proprietary small molecule drug originally developed for Alzheimer's disease. After the Alzheimer's disease program was completely terminated by the middle of 2025, the company refocused its efforts. Simufilam is currently being studied for the treatment of tuberous sclerosis-related epilepsy, targeting filament protein A, a novel mechanism of action independent of the traditional mTOR pathway. Preclinical studies suggest that this potentially pioneering filament A modulator may improve neuronal overgrowth and malformations that cause seizures in patients with tuberous sclerosis. The Company will continue to explore other potential indications where simufilam may have efficacy in preclinical trials, including central nervous system related and other areas.
