Strategic Profile

The POZ Platform provides the potential to improve the integrated efficacy and safety profile of multiple modalities including small molecules, RNA-based therapeutics and antibody-based drug conjugates (ADCs). The company is developing its lead candidate SER-252 for advanced Parkinson's disease in a Phase 1b registrational trial aligned with an FDA 505(b)(2) NDA pathway.

Cyborg Score Rationale
