Maze Therapeutics finds new partner for Pompe disease candidate
Privately-held Californian company Maze Therapeutics has found a new partner for its investigational Pompe disease candidate in the form of Japan’s Shionogi (TYO: 4507).
The companies have completed an exclusive worldwide license agreement for the rights to MZE001, an investigational oral glycogen synthase 1 (GYS1) inhibitor that aims to address Pompe disease by limiting disease-causing glycogen build-up.
The new partnership comes after a setback last December, when the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a complaint seeking to block Sanofi’s (Euronext: SAN) exclusive worldwide license agreement for Maze’s on GYS1 program, including MZE001, which led to the French drug major pulling out of the deal.
