CURX-From the 10Q
The Company is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company with a hormone drug product candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and multiple cancers. Our therapeutic platform is based on the hypothesis that many diseases of aging may be caused by age-related changes in the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The HPG axis is a hormonal endocrine feedback loop that controls development, reproduction and aging in animals. This drug development platform is built on the premise that hormones associated with this feedback loop are beneficial early in life, when they promote growth and development, but are harmful later in life when the mechanism for feedback is compromised, thereby leading to disease processes, including pathologies associated with Alzheimer’s disease and various cancers. We believe our discovery of similar hormonal signaling mechanisms at the cellular level in brain tissue from Alzheimer’s patients and in multiple tumors will enable us to develop significant new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease as well as many cancers.
