About us
Alkeus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing transformative therapeutics to address serious, progressive eye diseases that lead to blindness. Our lead compound, ALK-001, is an oral investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Stargardt disease (STGD) and Geographic Atrophy (GA) secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration. ALK-001 is a selectively-deuterated form of Vitamin A that slows the dimerization of Vitamin A, which is implicated in STGD, and has shown statistically-significant and clinically-meaningful efficacy in the TEASE-1 Phase 2 clinical trial. Based on these results, ALK-001 has been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of Stargardt Disease.

We had fun attending Blind and Visual Impairment Day at the WooSox on August 4th! It was great to spend time with Michael Marciello, coach and team doctor for the Boston Renegades Beepball team.

We are inspired by the Olympic athletes with vision impairment who are competing in Paris. For more information, check out this CNN article.
Nedoroscik is not the only Olympic athlete with vision impairment excelling in their sport. Check out this article from CNN and learn how these high level athletes use proprioception, sometimes deemed the “sixth sense,” to navigate their vision impairment and perform. https://lnkd.in/gtyTWnMD
