Projectdetails

Introduction

ReST Therapeutics is a French biotech company founded in late 2020 that develops breakthrough therapies to treat complex central nervous system disorders, in particular, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) under its various forms, followed by Alzheimer Disease (AD).

Lead Candidate

Our lead candidate, FENM, is a novel and proprietary chemical entity (NCE) targeting specifically a subtype of NMDA receptor (involved in synaptic plasticity) in order to facilitate stress release and neuroprotection without triggering adverse side effects of current NMDA targeting drugs.

FENM will enter First-in-Human trials in June 2023 to initiate the clinical demonstration on PTSD.

Future Developments

ReST is also advancing new compounds to generate a robust library of candidates and generalize its NMDAr subtype modulation platform with the potential to treat other neurologic disorders.

With the EIC support, ReST will:

  1. Bring FENM to clinical Proof of Concept (PhIIb) by 2027.
  2. Secure a partnership with a pharma company.
  3. Develop new small molecules to expand its pipeline.
