A clinical stage biotech company opening a new frontier in pharmacology

À propos

Aelis Farma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of treatments for brain diseases. Aelis Farma is developing a new class of drugs: Signaling Specific inhibitors of the CB1 receptor (CB1-SSi) of the endocannabinoid system that provide access to several therapeutic areas without available treatments. These unique drug candidates, by reproducing a recently discovered natural defense mechanism of the brain , appear to be able to treat various brain pathologies without disrupting normal behavior. A first in pharmacology. Two initial drug candidates are already in clinical trials in indications with high unmet medical needs: • AEF0117, to treat disorders due to excessive cannabis use, has already provided evidence of efficacy in a phase 2a clinical study and has entered a phase 2b clinical trial in Q2 2022. • AEF0217, to treat various cognitive deficits, including those associated with Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), is currently being evaluated in phase 1 clinical trials, with no major adverse effects observed in the three patient cohorts treated to date. Phase 1/2 clinical studies with AEF0217 in Down syndrome subjects are expected to start in Q4 2022. These studies could provide initial efficacy results in H1 2023. Given the involvement of the CB1 receptor in numerous pathologies, Aelis Farma is also developing using its proprietary platform, several new CB1-SSi with differentiated pharmacological properties to target other brain pathologies. Based in Bordeaux, within the Inserm Magendie Neurocentre, Aelis Farma has a team of 24 highly qualified employees and has benefited from investments from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, Inserm Transfert Initiative, Bpifrance, regional funds ACI, NACO and Aqui-invest and IRDI Capital Investissement.

    𝗔𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮’𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳-𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 👇 As of June 30, 2024, Aelis Farma had a solid cash position of €12.6 million, not including the gross amount of €4.5 million share offering which occurred at the end of July and other non-dilutive financing currently being obtained, ensuring financial visibility until the end of 2026. During the first half of 2024, Aelis Farma made significant progress with its two clinical stage drug-candidates and an expansion of its screening capabilities. Thus, this first semester was marked by: ☑ The last patient last visit in the Phase 2B trial with AEF0117 for the treatment of cannabis use disorders (CUD) in April 2024. Although the primary endpoint was not met the preliminary results of this study show a statistically significant decrease in cannabis consumption in participants with moderate CUD. ☑ The end of recruitment for a phase 1/2 study with AEF0217 in people with Down syndrome. The results of the study will be announced in Q4 2024. ☑ The expansion of research capabilities with the transfer of the screening laboratory responsible for identifying new CB1-SSi molecules to the IECB (Institut Européen de Chimie et de Biologie) in Pessac (Bordeaux).   #AELIS #biotech #cannabisaddiction #CB1 #downsyndrome #cognitiveimpairments #neurosciences #halfyearstatement

    CB1-SSi, AELIS FARMA’ molecularly biased CB1 inhibitors, eliminate the side effects of CB1 antagonists.

    Peripheral CB1 antagonists have psychiatric side effects, is it a surprise ? No it isn’t Novo Nordisk has recently announced that their peripheral restricted CB1 antagonist monlunabant induces psychiatry side effects (anxiety, irritability and sleep disturbances) similar to the ones of CB1 antagonists accessing the brain. Is this a surprise ? No, it was known that behavioral side effects of CB1 antagonists were also due to their peripheral action and transmitted to the brain by the Vague nerve. The only way available today to eliminate CB1-mediated behavioral side effects is to use CB1-SSi the new generation of inhibitors developed by Aelis Farma. In a recent 12 weeks studies AEF0117 the first CB1-SSi has showed an improvement in anxiety and sleep performance and to be very well tolerated with no safety concern identified. The MOA of CB1-SSi allows to inhibit only some of the molecular signals activated by the CB1 receptors. This MOA molecularly excises the side effects of the CB1 receptor. I firmly believe that this signaling specific pharmacology is the way of the future. #CB1 #obesity #anxiety #cognition #AEF0117 #CB1SSi #cannabis

    𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗘𝗙𝟬𝟭𝟭𝟳 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟮𝗯 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗨𝗗 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 The main goal of this pioneering phase 2B study was to demonstrate that AEF0117 reduces cannabis use in CUD patients and to determine the endpoints as well as the optimal dosage of AEF0117 to be used in future studies. To answer these questions, we conducted the largest and most rigorous study to date on cannabis use disorders (CUD), including 333 patients recruited across 11 clinical centers in the US. Quality control (QC) and analysis are still in process. Consequently, the following results and insights should be considered as preliminary. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: ☑ AEF0117 is pharmacologically active, further validating the new CB1-SSi pharmacological class developed by Aelis. ☑ AEF0117 (1mg/day) did not meet its primary endpoint, a binary measure evaluating the increase in the proportion of patients using cannabis ≤1 day per week ☑ At the highest dose of AEF0117 (1mg/day), using a quantitative endpoint, a statistically significant reduction in cannabis use was observed in participants with moderate CUD. ☑ AEF0117 has an excellent safety profile without the side effects seen in the previous generation of CB1 antagonists. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁: ☑ Quantitative endpoints seems more adapted than binary endpoints to study changes in cannabis use in CUD patients. ☑ It is likely that dose higher than 1 mg should be used in future studies, which is feasible given the excellent safety profile. 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀: We are currently completing the QC and analysis of the data before determining the next regulatory and development steps that will be communicated once this process is completed. To learn more about our phase 2b results and AEF0117, watch the replay of our webinar showcased by Pier Vincenzo Piazza and Stéphanie Monlezun (CEO and COO of Aelis Farma).   #AELIS #biotech #cannabisaddiction #CB1 #neurosciences #cognition #downsyndrome

    𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 By resolution 42/112 of 7 December 1987, the General Assembly of the United Nations decided to observe 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking as an expression of its determination to strengthen action and cooperation in achieving a world free of drug abuse. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿: 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 At Aelis Farma, we believe that preventing addiction should include the early detection of drug use disorders to enhance treatment efficacy. Unfortunately, most individuals seek treatment for drug use disorders only when their condition has become severe, making treatment more challenging. Detecting mild drug use disorders and offering treatment at this early stage could be transformative in preventing the progression to addiction. At Aelis Farma, we are dedicated to developing impactful treatment solutions that can make a real difference in people's lives. Currently, we are fully committed to advancing our first drug candidate, AEF0117, for the treatment of cannabis use disorders (CUD). Stay tuned for the results of the phase 2b study of AEF0117 in CUD in Q3 2024. Let's use this day as an opportunity to come together, educate ourselves and others, and support those who may be struggling. Together, we can build healthier, happier communities. #WorldDrugDay #InvestInPrevention #AELIS #cannabis #CUD #addiction #SAMHSA #neurosciences #cognition #CB1
