About InFlectis

InFlectis BioScience is a France-based clinical stage company developing first-in-class therapies for neuromuscular diseases. The company is in clinical development with an orally available small molecule -- IFB-088 -- that has the potential to extend lives or improve the quality-of-life for people with from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) -- two rare progressive nerve conditions. InFlectis designs therapies to boost a cellular command center -- the Integrated Stress Response -- that ensures healthy levels of proteins and protein structures. Excessive and prolonged cellular stress can overwhelm this command center, resulting in the loss of functional cells and onset or progression of neuromuscular diseases. InFlectis' drug candidates keep this command center operating to prevent downstream effects that lead to disease.
