Actimed Therapeutics is a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company, founded in 2017, focused on developing treatments for muscle wasting disorders, with a primary emphasis on cancer cachexia. The company was co-founded by Professors Andrew Coats and Stefan Anker, world-renowned physicians in cachexia and muscle wasting research, along with Yann Colardelle, a professional in medical education. Both academic founders have extensive experience, with Professor Coats having served as Dean of Medicine at the University of Sydney and head of Clinical Cardiology at Imperial College London, and Professor Anker having a long academic research career in heart failure and cachexia at institutions like the Royal Brompton Hospital and Charité Berlin.
The company's lead product is S-pindolol benzoate (ACM-001.1), a small molecule described as an Anabolic, Catabolic Transforming Agent (ACTA). It is being developed to treat cancer-related cachexia, a wasting disease that affects a high percentage of cancer patients and is responsible for a significant number of cancer deaths. S-pindolol has a multi-modal action, aiming to reduce weight loss (catabolism), increase muscle mass (anabolism), and improve appetite and fatigue. The company is preparing for Phase 2b/3 clinical trials (the IMPACT programme) for S-pindolol in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Colorectal Cancer (CRC). Additionally, Actimed is exploring the use of S-pindolol to preserve muscle mass in obese patients undergoing treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Actimed's second asset is S-oxprenolol, which is being developed for treating muscle wasting associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The company has licensed the global rights for S-oxprenolol's development in indications outside of ALS, including cancer cachexia, to the U.S.-based Faraday Pharmaceuticals, while retaining the rights for ALS. Based in London, UK, Actimed Therapeutics operates on a venture capital-backed business model, raising funds through financing rounds to advance its clinical pipeline. The company has successfully closed multiple seed and Series A funding rounds, with notable investment from Mankind Pharma.
