Exploring new perspectives to make extraordinary discoveries
At Montara, we’re developing safer, more efficacious therapies to improve the lives of patients with neurological diseases.
Our mission is to develop innovative therapies for diseases of the brain by leveraging our proprietary platform to enhance safety and efficacy to enable pharmacological drugging of established targets.
Introducing BrainOnly™, the uniquely versatile platform designed to prevent peripheral toxicities and concentrate neurological drugs’ activity in the brain, enhancing safety, increasing therapeutic index, and improving efficacy
Many promising drug candidates for neurological diseases fail to advance due to dose-limiting, off-tissue peripheral toxicities, which impede both safety and efficacy.
BrainOnly is a breakthrough platform that aims to prevent peripheral adverse events associated with neuroscience drugs. It holds the potential to deliver a new generation of brain-targeted therapeutics.
