BGE-102: oral CNS-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor

Lead indication: obesity

A key driver of metabolic and neuroinflammatory diseases

NLRP3 is a critical component of the inflammasome. Chronic inflammasome activation results in inflammation that drives metabolic and neuroinflammatory diseases.

Our lead program, BGE-102, is an oral, potent, and highly brain penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor with a novel structure and binding site. In a preclinical obesity model, BGE-102 resulted in dose-dependent weight loss as monotherapy and more than doubled weight loss when combined with an incretin.

We anticipate Phase 1 SAD data by 2025 year end.
