ALK-001 is a selectively-deuterated form of Vitamin A that slows the dimerization of Vitamin A, which is implicated in STGD, and has shown statistically-significant and clinically-meaningful efficacy in the TEASE-1 Phase 2 clinical trial. Based on these results, ALK-001 has been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of Stargardt Disease.
