Context

Founded over 14 years ago, GeNeuro develops new treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS), Type 1 diabetes and other potential human endogenous retrovirus-mediated diseases.

The company leverages the biology of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) to stop potential key causal factors associated with these disorders. The HERV field is a new frontier pioneered by GeNeuro since 2006, based on 15 years of R&D at Institut Mérieux and INSERM.

In November 2019, GeNeuro and the Karolinska Institutet/Academic Specialist Center of Stockholm agreed to launch a new clinical study of GeNeuro’s flagship product Temelimab in MS. Karolinska will conduct a single-centre study of Temelimab in patients with non-active progressive MS (without relapses). First results are expected at the end of 2021.

This capital raise will be sufficient to cover clinical studies and GeNeuro’s operating costs until the first results of Karolinska study.
