About Accurexa, Inc.
The Company is focused on developing and commercializing novel neurological therapies based on its proprietary BranchPoint technology delivering therapeutics directly into specific regions of the brain. The BranchPoint device delivers therapeutics through the radial deployment of a flexible delivery catheter to large and anatomically complex brain targets through a single initial brain penetration. Clinicians can "tailor" therapeutic delivery to individual patient anatomy and specific disease targets, which may enhance the efficacy of therapies. The BranchPoint device also gives physicians more precise control of the volume of therapeutics delivered and ensures that therapeutics delivered into the brain stay in the brain, avoiding the problem of reflux out to the brain surface. This modern and "easy to use" technology allows "real-time" monitoring of therapeutic delivery under interventional MRI guidance (iMRI), which can improve the accuracy of therapeutic delivery, reduce the risk of complications, and increase patient safety.

The BranchPoint device was developed at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) with $1.8 million in funding from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). It is based on a neurosurgical delivery platform, which the Company exclusively licensed from UCSF. It can enable new approaches to neurological therapy and be modified for the delivery of a wide range of novel therapeutics, such as stem cells to treat neurodegenerative diseases, chemotherapeutics to brain tumors or gene therapy.
