Alkahest is studying GRF6021 as a potential treatment for age-related diseases in collaboration with clinical development partner and parent company, Grifols. GRF6021 is a proprietary plasma fraction that has enhanced neurogenesis, improved age-related deficits in learning and memory and reduced neuroinflammation in preclinical animal models.

In its phase 2 clinical study of GRF6021 in subjects with PD and cognitive impairment, GRF6021 demonstrated positive effects on cognitive endpoints in PD patients with cognitive impairment and was safe and well tolerated by study participants. Alkahest plans to further study efficacy of GRF6021 in patients to advance its clinical development.
