It has been designed for enhancing Treg anti-inflammatory function in vivo to treat Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), an orphan disease with a high unmet need.

The subcutaneous administration of COYA 301 allows patients to be dosed in their homes, which offers convenience and pharmacoeconomic advantages over the current products, which require administration in a hospital setting.

Coya Therapeutics stated that Treg dysfunction was identified as an important driver of neuroinflammation that is observed in AD as well as other neurodegenerative diseases and may contribute to the progression of the disease.

According to the company, AD affects approximately five million people in the US, and this number is estimated to nearly triple by 2060.
