MitoRx raised $5 million to advance their medications for degenerative diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction.
They focus on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Huntington's disease, and COPD, with plans for preclinical results in 2024.
Early data shows their muscle-targeting drug preserves muscle strength and confirms its effect on mitochondria.
MitoRx addresses the root cause of dysfunction by restoring a key signaling pathway ("sulfide-signaling").
They'll present Duchenne results in March 2024, explore partnerships, and aim for clinical trials within 2 years.
Treating mitochondrial dysfunction could help millions with degenerative diseases, offering much-needed options.
