LUCID-MS

Patented new chemical entity (NCE)

Lucid-MS is a patented neuroprotective compound that has demonstrated in preclinical models to prevent and reverse myelin degradation, a cause for Multiple Sclerosis, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases and conditions. Lucid-MS has shown excellent results in several animal models, as demonstrated in the video below.

LUCID-MS: Disease Modifying Enabling Remyelination

The subject in the video above is only one example taken from a large cohort of mice in experiments conducted in multiple labs across several years. The results of the preclinical research from these experiments has been published in various prestigous medical journals, including Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Lucid-MS is a patented (patent #WO2017027967A1) New Chemical Entity (NCE) that has been studied extensively throughout more than 11 years of research and development. Quantum BioPharma owns exclusive worldwide rights to Lucid-MS.

Potential oral administration with easy dosing regimen

Quantum BioPharma has completed the dosing of healthy human volunteers for phase-1 clinical trials for Lucid-MS.

Today there is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

Quantum BioPharma (“QNTM”) is trying to change this for millions of people.

Multiple Sclerosis Overview

Estimated Diagnosed MS Patients by Region

A chronic inflammatory and degenerative disorder of the Central Nervous System Global prevalence of MS rose from 2.3 million in 2013 to 2.8 million in 2020


MS is characterized by unpredictable symptoms (i.e. tingling sensations, vision problems, mobility issues) that are attributed to the patient’s immune system attacking different nerve fibers


Damage to myelin (the sheaths protecting nerve fibers) can affect critical thinking and cognitive skills


Global MS treatment market in 2022 estimated at US$23 billion


MS can occur at any age, but the average age for diagnosis globally is 32 years 1.5% of the global MS population is under the age of 18 years


Female to male diagnosis ratio is 2:1


Prevalence in U.S. is 288 cases per 100,000 people; in Canada it is 250 cases per 100,000 people

Armed with a strong balance sheet, solid pipeline, and renowned clinical team, Quantum BioPharma intends to advance its lead drug candidates through clinical trials with the goal of providing therapies to the millions suffering from neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric conditions.
