GSK Partners with Angiochem for LSD Treatments
The partnership will work on the creation of new compounds capable of restoring function in the central nervous system.
GlaxoSmithKline has formed a partnership with Canadian pharmaceutical firm Angiochem for the discovery, development and commercialisation of lysosomal storage disease (LSD) treatments.
Compounds in current use, such as those developed by Genzyme and Shire, are unable to restore enzyme function in the central nervous system, and both GSK and Angiochem hope to bridge that gap.
Angiochem will be responsible for the creation of new compounds capable of restoring function in the central nervous system. The company will initially create an enzyme replacement therapy for specific LSD, with GSK gaining the rights to develop and sell the compound.
