Animal Health Pipeline
Complementing our human health programs, we are pioneering applications of SIRT6 in veterinary medicine. During the period, we initiated a Healthspan and sarcopenia clinical trial in dogs with our partner, the independent CRO Syngene. This comparative, randomized study involves 28 beagle dogs aged 10 years and older, testing GF-1004, our naked DNA construct, in an aging canine population.
Early studies have already confirmed the safety and ease of administration of GF-1004, providing confidence in broader applicability. The trial is expected to deliver initial efficacy data within five months, with endpoints focused on muscle function and healthspan indicators. At the same time, we have initiated confidential discussions with several leading animal health companies under confidential disclosure agreements, underscoring industry interest in innovative approaches to age-related decline in companion animals.
Strategic Integration of Human and Animal Health
Our programs in human health and animal health are mutually reinforcing. The veterinary studies provide a real-world proof-of-concept environment to evaluate SIRT6-based therapies in aging populations, while our human programs extend the platform into areas of high unmet need such as MASH, sarcopenia, Werner Syndrome, and ophthalmology. Together, they expand the reach of our SIRT6 platform and strengthen Genflow's leadership in healthspan science.
