Executive Summary
Most individuals with Down syndrome who live long enough will develop Alzheimer’s disease, and Pharmasum Therapeutics AS hopes to develop an AD program by targeting a protein kinase that may underlie that association. The company intends to develop agents to treat AD in individuals with DS, a large and growing market, and potentially all other patients afflicted with Alzheimer’s.
