RARECast is a Global Genes podcast hosted by award-winning journalist Daniel Levine. It focuses on the intersection of rare disease with business, science, and policy.
GRIN-related disorders are a group of rare neurodevelopmental conditions that can cause intellectual disability, behavioral challenges, and seizures. GRIN Therapeutics is developing a once-failed development candidate for chronic neuropathic pain, known as radiprodil, as a potential treatment for GRIN-related disorders driven by gain-of-function mutations. We spoke to Bruce Leuchter, president and CEO of GRIN Therapeutics, about GRIN-related disorders, how the company came to develop radiprodil, and how it represents an effort by Neurvati Neurosciences to bring a portfolio approach to developing novel treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
