We are Neuraly.
Neuraly is a clinical-stage biotechnology company whose mission is to translate scientific discoveries in neurology into new drugs that can radically improve and prolong the lives of people suffering from the devastating consequences of diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. The company is leveraging a deep understanding of the role of glia biology in neuroinflammation and neuroprotection to advance a risk-diversified product portfolio for PD and AD. Neuraly is a subsidiary of D&D Pharmatech, a clinical stage global biotech company that funds the development of revolutionary medicines through disease-specific subsidiary companies founded and guided by top-tier medical research faculty and biotechnology veterans.

NLY01, the lead asset, is a long-acting, microglia-targeted GLP-1R agonist that targets microglia/astrocytes-induced neuroinflammation and has proven strong therapeutic efficacy in preclinical models of both PD and AD. NLY01 is currently in Phase 2 in early Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s patients. Neuraly is advancing IND-enabling studies of follow-up small molecule candidates with different but complementary mechanisms for PD and AD.
“Currently, there aren’t any treatments that reverse, stop, or even slow neurodegeneration in diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The treatments that do exist – all symptomatic – provide only temporary improvement in motor and cognitive function, but even these become less effective over time. We believe that the science supports NLY01 as a potential disease-modifying therapy capable of slowing the progression of disease.”
