BioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Multiple sclerosis (“MS”) drugs on the market today can slow the disease down, but none of them stop it, and none of them give patients back what they have already lost. Nearly one million people in the United States, and close to 2.9 million worldwide, live with that reality, watching a disease that can gradually erode mobility, vision, and basic bodily control. That gap has just gotten a serious new challenger. Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) ( Profile ) has received FDA clearance to begin a phase 2 trial of Lucid-MS, a patented, first-in-class drug candidate aimed not at calming the immune system but at protecting and potentially repairing the myelin sheath itself. The clearance sets the stage for what would be the first time in history that a drug candidate built on this specific mechanism is tested in people living with the MS disease, a milestone significant enough that it has already drawn a fresh buy rating from Wall Street analysts. This momentum places Quantum BioPharma solidly in a group of leading companies focused on the treatment of serious diseases and areas of significant unmet medical need across vaccines, ophthalmology and neurological disease, including Sanofi (NASDAQ: SNY), Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: RHHBY), Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB) and…

BioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Multiple sclerosis (“MS”) robs people of control over their own bodies — slowly, relentlessly and without a cure. More than 2.9 million people worldwide are living with MS today, and despite decades of research, every approved treatment falls short of the same fundamental goal: stopping the disease cold. Current therapies can slow progression, but they cannot halt it, and for millions of patients, that gap means a future of worsening disability. Now, Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) ( Profile ) is challenging that reality. The company is advancing Lucid-MS, a patented, first-in-class drug candidate that takes a fundamentally different approach by directly targeting the myelin sheath that MS destroys, and this new drug candidate is preparing to enter phase 2 clinical trials.
