Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. faced a setback in May 2025 as its $16.5 million grant application from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) for a Phase II trial in Alzheimer's Disease was not approved. This decision impacts the funding for a key therapeutic program.
The non-approval of this substantial grant means that studies for the Alzheimer's indication are currently paused. The company is awaiting biomarker results from its Parkinson's trial to further validate JOTROL's potential in cognitive function before proceeding.
This development highlights the challenges in securing external funding for clinical development and may necessitate alternative financing strategies for the Alzheimer's program. The company's ability to advance this indication is now contingent on future data and funding.
