About New Biotic

New Biotic Inc is a clinical stage biotech company in microbiome research. It has researched on gut-brain science since 2008. Research and development is focused on the root causes of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, rather than just symptom management.

The company has developed a potentially game changing treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It has obtained exciting initial pivotal human data using a microbiome formulation that could be a disease modifying therapeutic for ALS. RaphaLX™ was granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) by FDA. 

The company is also in discussion with the FDA about the possible use of its patent pending blood diagnostic biomarker for use in ALS as a companion diagnostic biomarker. Biomarkers for other neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, schizophrenia, bipolar, etc. are currently being validated. The company holds two provisional patents in diagnostic biomarkers for CNS disorders and a few others in various stages of processing.

Having multiple products in its pipeline New Biotic welcome partners, collaborators and investors to accelerate their product rollout.
