Larimar Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company, focuses on developing treatments for rare diseases using its novel cell penetrating peptide technology platform. Its lead product candidate is CTI-1601, which is in Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia, a rare, progressive, and fatal genetic disease. The company is based in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.
Larimar Therapeutics submitted the first module of a rolling Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for accelerated approval of nomlabofusp in Friedreich’s ataxia, following FDA confirmation that the current data package appears sufficient for submission and review.
Long-term open-label data showed that 100% of participants maintained skin frataxin (FXN) levels above 50% of healthy volunteer means at 1 year, while clinical outcome measures improved relative to a worsening natural history reference population.
The company expects to submit the remaining BLA modules in the second half of 2026, initiate dosing in a confirmatory Phase 3 study in Q3 2026, and is targeting a mid-2027 launch if approved.
