Karolinska Development AB (publ): Karolinska Development's portfolio company Umecrine Cognition receives grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - May 5, 2025. Karolinska Development AB (Nasdaq Stockholm: KDEV) today announces that its portfolio company Umecrine Cognition has been awarded a research grant by The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) amounting to USD 420,000. The grant will finance preclinical studies to evaluate the potential treatment effect of golexanolone in Parkinson's disease.

Umecrine Cognition is developing a new class of drugs to alleviate cognitive symptoms. The company's drug candidate golexanolone has demonstrated a positive impact on non-motor symptoms, such as sleep disorders and cognitive impairments, in preclinical models of Parkinson's disease. The grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation will support further preclinical studies to confirm golexanolone's treatment effect on Parkinson's-related sleep dysfunction and cognitive impairments, as well as evaluate the drug candidate's effect on disease progression in several disease models.

The grant is awarded to the collaboration between Umecrine Cognition and the principal investigator, Professor Gilberto Fisone Head of the Laboratory of Molecular and Circuit Neuropharmacology, and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience, at Karolinska Institutet, Solna, Sweden.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease most noticeably characterized by deteriorating motor functions. However, non-motor symptoms, such as sleep disorders and cognitive impairments, emerge before the onset of physical symptoms and have, historically, been overlooked due to a lack of scientific and clinical insights. While current treatments target motor dysfunction, there are no approved pharmaceutical therapies for non-motor symptoms.

"The Michael J. Fox Foundation is the world's largest non-profit funder of Parkinson's research, and the grant represents a significant acknowledgment and validation of golexanolone's potential in treating this progressive and life-restricting disease. The funding enables further research on golexanolone as a novel treatment option for non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease, an area with high medical need," says Johan Dighed, General Counsel and Deputy CEO, Karolinska Development.

Karolinska Development's ownership in Umecrine Cognition amounts to 73%.
