Historical price data

Overview

Alterity Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing disease-modifying therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Its core strategy leverages a proprietary platform of metal protein attenuating compounds (MPACs) to inhibit the aggregation of pathological proteins like alpha-synuclein. The company's lead asset, ATH434, is in Phase 2 clinical trials for Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease, targeting a significant unmet medical need. As a publicly listed entity on the ASX, Alterity is advancing its pipeline through focused clinical execution and strategic capital management.

Technology Platform

Proprietary platform of orally available, brain-penetrant metal protein attenuating compounds (MPACs) designed to inhibit pathological protein aggregation and reduce oxidative stress by modulating metal-protein interactions in the brain.

Opportunities

The lead program, ATH434, targets two high-need markets: the orphan disease Multiple System Atrophy, which offers a potential accelerated path to approval, and the blockbuster Parkinson's disease market.
Success in either indication would validate the novel MPAC platform, creating significant value and enabling expansion into other neurodegenerative diseases.

Risk Factors

The company faces high clinical risk of failure in its Phase 2 trials, a limited cash runway requiring near-term dilutive financing, and intense competition in the Parkinson's disease space.
Its entire value is concentrated in a single clinical asset.

Competitive Landscape

In MSA, ATH434's direct targeting of alpha-synuclein pathology is relatively unique in late-stage testing. In Parkinson's, its key differentiators are oral administration and a dual mechanism targeting protein aggregation and oxidative stress, setting it apart from infused biologics and other small molecules targeting specific genetic pathways.
