Item 8.01 Other Events
Telomir Pharmaceuticals Appoints Dr. Itzchak Angel, Former Head of Pharmacology at Synthelabo (now Sanofi-Aventis), to Lead IND and INAD Applications for Human and Veterinary Indications
Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) has appointed Dr. Itzchak Angel as Chief Scientific Advisor pursuant to a consulting agreement, effective August 28, 2024, with Dr. Angel’s firm, with Angel Pharmaceutical Consulting & Technologies Ltd.
Dr. Angel brings over 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry to the Company, including his role as Head of Pharmacology at Synthelabo (now Sanofi-Aventis). He played a key role in the development of several successful drugs, including Xatral (Alfuzosin), Ambien (Zolpidem), and Mizollen (Mizolastine).
In his new role, Dr. Angel will guide the Company in its pursuit of dual Investigational New Drug (IND) and Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) submissions for Telomir-1, a novel small molecule designed to lengthen DNA’s telomere caps. Telomir-1 has potential applications in conditions such as progeria, a rare genetic disorder that causes accelerated aging. The Company is exploring various regulatory pathways, including the potential for orphan drug status for human indications, to expedite the approval process.
For veterinary applications, the Company is considering the potential of seeking Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) designation, which could provide regulatory incentives for treating less common conditions in major species, such as dogs. The Company is currently conducting ongoing scientific research and studies to further explore Telomir-1’s potential in both human and veterinary uses, with Dr. Angel leading these efforts to navigate the regulatory landscape effectively.
