GBA Therapeutics Investment Landscape

🔬 Protein Info
Gene Symbolent-gene-694200ea
Carrier frequency5-10% of PD patients carry GBA1 mutations
Risk increase5-20x increased risk depending on mutation severity
Age of onsetGBA-PD patients typically present 5-10 years earlier
PhenotypeOften associated with more rapid progression, cognitive impairment
Small molecule chaperonesBind to and stabilize mutant GBA, enhancing trafficking to lysosomes
Venglustat (GZ161)Oral GCS inhibitor in development for GBA-PD (Ivy program discontinued)
Fluorescent GBA activatorsHigh-throughput screening hits in pre-clinical development
Eliglustat (Cerdelga)FDA-approved for Gaucher disease, being explored for PD
VenglustatGCS inhibitor that reduces substrate load
Combination approachesChaperone + substrate reduction
AAV-GBA1Various vectors in pre-clinical development
CRISPR-based approachesGene editing strategies in research phase
Combination with other targetsGBA + other PD genes
Taliglucerase alfa (Elelyso)FDA-approved for Gaucher disease
Neuroinflammation modulationAddressing GBA-related immune dysfunction
