We are proud to announce that we have completed an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Shionogi & Co., Ltd for the rights to MZE001. MZE001 is a small molecule inhibitor of GYS1, an enzyme involved in glycogen synthesis, that is designed to reduce glycogen concentration in muscles. The results from the Phase 1 study of MZE001 suggest that it has the potential to be the first oral therapy for the treatment of #Pompedisease, a congenital metabolic #raredisease. Shionogi has an impressive track record of developing and delivering innovative treatments for patients, and we are confident in their commitment to the advancement of this asset.
