Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing multi-modal
disease-modifying therapies for viral, neuropathic, and neurodegenerative diseases, has a current portfolio of four drug candidates.
The company's recently acquired ANA001 candidate is a proprietary oral niclosamide formulation in development as a treatment for
patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 (patients not requiring ventilators). Niclosamide is a potential oral antiviral and
anti-inflammatory agent with a long history of use and a well-understood safety profile in humans. ANA001 is currently being studied
in a 60-subject Phase 2/3 clinical trial conducted at up to 20 clinical sites in the U.S. Niclosamide has demonstrated both
antiviral and immunomodulatory activity with possible downstream effects on coagulation abnormalities observed in COVID-19. The
company's NB-01 candidate has been shown in a Phase 2 study to significantly reduce pain symptoms associated with painful diabetic
neuropathy (PDN), with a superior safety profile when compared to currently available treatments. Due to the global COVID-19 crisis,
a planned Phase 3 study of NB-01 was postponed. In the interim, NeuroBo is exploring a potential orphan drug indication targeting
chronic pain for NB-01. NeuroBo's NB-02 drug candidate is focused on the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and neurodegenerative
diseases associated with the pathological dysfunction of tau proteins in the brain. The company's fourth program, Gemcabene, was
previously being developed for the treatment of dyslipidemia, a serious medical condition that increases the risk of
life-threatening cardiovascular disease. Gemcabene is currently being assessed as an acute treatment for COVID-19.
