Inflectis Bioscience

InFlectis BioScience is a private clinical-stage company aiming to target and modulate interactions between proteins involved in key human pathophysiological processes. The company is developing IFB-088 (INN: icerguastat), which specifically targets the Integrated Stress Response (ISR). Exploiting the ISR’s natural defense offers tremendous potential for the development of a new class of therapies. Led by InFlectis, this area of research is rapidly advancing, resulting in new treatments under development for a variety of diseases affecting the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS) and inflammation. IFB-088 is currently in phase 2 trial to treat ALS. Company History InFlectis BioScience has been founded by Dr. Philippe GUEDAT on August 30, 2013.
