MODAG GmbH
MODAG aims to provide a novel approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases by combining targeted small molecule therapeutics with the right diagnostic tools. Our first objective is to demonstrate clinical proof-of-concept with our lead compound anle138b in Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) seeking to halt the progression and provide a first disease-modifying therapeutic. This success will allow us to apply our technology to similar diseases such as Parkinson’s and other synucleinopathies with the goal of dissolving disease-related intra-cellular oligomers, thereby reducing their toxic properties. MODAG is comprised of experts in the clinical research and neurodegenerative disease space and supported by grants from leading patient organizations including the Michael J Fox Foundation, Cure Parkinson`s Trust and Parkinson’s UK.
