These CDAs mark an important milestone in Genflow's strategy to leverage its proprietary SIRT6-centenarian gene therapy platform for both human and animal health. Building on the Company's ongoing GF-1004 Dog Aging (beagle) study which has reported no adverse events to date. The agreements will provide a framework for evaluating partnership opportunities aimed at extending healthspan and improving quality of life in companion animals, a rapidly growing and high-value market segment.
Strategic Rationale
Genflow's first-in-class science, when combined with the resources of a large pharmaceutical partner, offers a faster path to commercialization therefore, derisking execution and maximizing shareholder value. Through such collaborations, Genflow can also unlock global scale, regulatory expertise, and commercial infrastructure more quickly accelerating both revenue generation and market penetration.
Dr. Eric Leire, CEO of Genflow, commented: "The signing of these CDAs reflects strong industry interest in our longevity platform and represents a further step toward building strategic partnerships in animal health. As we continue to advance GF-1004 in our canine trial, engaging with major animal health players will strengthen our pathway to potential licensing agreements and future commercialization."
