The principle behind our Medtech

Unsuspected utility of known drugs

CXS Therapeutics' own working methodology for optimized identification of the molecule of interest.

Unsuspected function

Bioinformatics identification tools

Accelerated through a transdisciplinary process using targeted exploration of several scientific databases.

Molecule identified

Meeting therapeutic needs

In diseases affecting the central nervous system, through selection of clinically relevant therapeutic targets.

Brain dopamine

Focus on  central nervous system  

A pragmatic choice

Prevalence

High prevalence

900,000 people suffer from Alzheimer's, 150,000 from multiple sclerosis, and around 270,000 from Parkinson.

Burden

Considerable burden

Quality of life, socio-economic costs. Ageing population and rising incidence in the under-50s.

Need for innovation

Need for innovation

Improved diagnosis, treatment, healthcare policies and support for patients and their families.

Lack of treatment

Medical needs

Only drugs aimed at slowing disease progession and controlling the symptoms.

A choice motivated by the personal history of one of the founders

"Parkinson sur Loire"

Parkinson sur Loire" challenge

Raising funds to run a first set of experiments for a disease-modifying treatment.

Our first hit, the Parkinson's disease

Essential reminder

Parkinson's disease is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative after Alzheimer's disease.

It affects 270,000 people in FranceThis figure is rising steadily as the population ages.

It is characterized by degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons.

From a symptomatic standpoint, known clinical signs include tremorstremors slowness of movement and muscular rigidity.

Sick patient

The aim of our treatment?

The aim of current treatments is to compensate for the dopamine deficiency. In short, they aim to correct the symptoms but not to stop the mechanism at the origin of the disease. Keeping that in mind, our work aims at restoring dopaminergic production by achieving efficient neuroprotection.

Dopamine restoration
