ABOUT GENUV

Genuv Inc. is a leader in discovering drugs for central nervous system (CNS) disorders and advanced antibody therapies. The ATRIVIEW^® drug screening platform uses cell phenotypic and biomarker analyses to discover substances for the development of neurodegenerative disease treatment. The company’s SHINE MOUSE^®, NuvoFc^TM and NuvoMab^TM platform generate antibodies with superior affinity, solubility, and stability. Based in Seoul, Korea, Genuv launched its first clinical trial in Korea in 2020. Genuv uses scientific imagination and unique platform technologies to overcome the challenges in debilitating diseases. Learn more at www.genuv.com.

About SNR1611

Discovered through our ATRIVIEW^® drug screening platform, SNR1611 is a drug candidate that has been repurposed for neurodegenerative disease from a previously FDA-approved anti-cancer drug. Genuv has already confirmed SNR1611’s effect on neuron regeneration and functional recovery through preclinical research in Alzheimer’s and ALS animal models. SNR1611’s development is guided by our belief that neurodegenerative disease can be treated with therapeutics that generate new neurons (“neurogenesis”), thereby inducing neural homeostasis. A Phase 1/2a trial in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis commenced in Korea in 2020, and the primary treatment arm is expected to conclude in late 2022.

About GNUV201

GNUV201 is a novel monoclonal anti-PD-1 antibody, developed through Genuv’s proprietary SHINE MOUSE^® platform, a diversity-enhanced antibody discovery system. It exhibits more selective binding characteristics in low-pH tumor microenvironments than in normal, neutral-pH physiological environments. Among many competitive anti-PD-1 mAbs on the market, GNUV201 is unique in its cross-reactivity to human and mice PD-1 and by its superior binding affinity with slower Koff compared to Keytruda^® and Opdivo^®. With its excellent efficacy in vitro, it is a promising candidate for a new drug by itself or for combination therapy with existing anti-cancer treatments for multiple types of solid tumors.
