Program Overview

CB-001 — from target to therapy

Program Target Discovery Pre-clinical Phase I Phase II Phase III
CB-001 Neuronopathic Gaucher Disease (Type II and III)          
GBA-Parkinson’s Disease          

CB-001 Program Overview

CB-001 is a pre-clinical stage program focused on neuronopathic Gaucher disease and GBA-Parkinson’s, addressing significant unmet medical need. The program aims to address disease progression at its molecular root cause.

The Science

Gaucher is a protein folding disease with deep biological connections to Parkinson’s

GBA1 mutations produce misfolded GCase protein that is degraded before reaching the lysosome. The resulting loss of enzyme activity drives both lysosomal storage dysfunction and the alpha-synuclein aggregation loop implicated in Parkinson’s pathology.

The Opportunity

The reality for Gaucher and Parkinson’s patients reveals an urgent unmet need

6,000 GD1 patients in the US managed by ERT, which does not address neurodegeneration risk
~10x Increased risk of Parkinson’s disease for GD1 patients vs. general population (~5x for carriers)
$2.1B → $3.5B Global Gaucher disease market size, 2025 forecast to 2032

No treatments exist for neuronopathic GD2 or GD3 (several hundred US patients each). GD2 patients die in infancy; GD3 patients can live into midlife with ERT but face inevitable cognitive decline.

The Mechanism

A non-inhibitory small molecule chaperone built for CNS efficacy and convenience

CB-001 binds an allosteric site to stabilize mutant GCase without inhibiting its active site, restoring proper protein folding and function.

Non-inhibitory small molecule chaperone binding allosteric site to stabilize mutant GCase
Designed for CNS penetration

Built to cross the blood-brain barrier and address neuronopathic disease, not just visceral symptoms.

Oral, once-daily administration

Eliminates the biweekly infusion burden of current enzyme replacement therapy.
