IRLAB is a Swedish biotech company listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm Main Market. The company is focused on the discovery and development of novel drugs for neurological diseases, with a primary focus on Parkinson’s disease (PD). IRLAB is currently in mid-stage development for its two lead drug candidates: mesdopetam (for levodopa-induced dyskinesia in PD), and pirepemat (for reducing falls in PD). A third asset (IRL757) is currently in early development (Ph 1). IRLAB’s clinical and pre-clinical candidate drugs all stem from its proprietary ISP drug discovery platform.
Clinical development failure is IRLAB’s greatest risk. The clinical success of competing compounds could also pose a risk, by lowering the unmet medical need or changing the current standard of care. Commercial risks include a failure to demonstrate sufficiently relevant clinical improvements, and/or a failure to out-license its drug candidates to potential partners.
