Drug Development and Clinical research
BrainTale provides sensitive, reliable, clinically validated
and easily accessible biomarkers to accelerate CNS drugs development
BrainTale platform contributes actively to the development of new drugs : BrainTale’s biomarkers are developed to be used as relevant endpoints, accelerating and derisking clinical trials as well as supporting treatment efficacy demonstration. The potential of BrainTale biomarkers has already been demonstrated in some demyelinating diseases such as adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)(1).
At BrainTale, we partner with academic research centers and pharma and biotech companies to develop and deploy relevant biomarkers for CNS diseases, using BrainTale technology allowing the production of calibrated brain white matter measures. To accelerate drug development and ultimately improve patient care.
Brain diseases are the 1st cause of disability worldwide, affecting 1 on 3 people(2). This burden is increasing rapidly with ageing of population. Despite high investment in R&D, neurological diseases remain highly underserved. One reason for drug development failure is the lack of relevant and specific biomarkers to access brain structure. To address this challenge, BrainTale provides sensitive, reliable, clinically validated and easily accessible biomarkers to accelerate CNS drugs development. These biomarkers rely on robust, quantitative and standardized measure of brain white matter based on non-invasive and pain-free data acquisition (diffusion MRI).
