Vogenx Appoints Ken Toombs to Board of Directors

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel therapies for the treatment of serious diseases associated with dysfunctions in human metabolism, including post-bariatric hypoglycemia, or PBH, and gastroparesis. Our company was founded in 2021 by experienced leaders with proven expertise developing drugs in the metabolic disease space. Our primary objective is to advance our lead investigational product candidate, mizagliflozin, a selective inhibitor of the sodium-glucose transporter 1, or SGLT1, through clinical development for disorders related to glucose absorption and postprandial dysregulation, and towards regulatory approval. Our lead product candidate, mizagliflozin, is an orally administered, minimally absorbed small molecule drug candidate in development for the treatment of PBH, gastroparesis, and GIP-dependent Cushing’s Syndrome, or GDCS. Mizagliflozin is a selective inhibitor of SGLT1, a glucose transporter present in the gastrointestinal tract responsible for transporting dietary glucose into the bloodstream.
