PhotoPharmics Secures $16 Million Investment Led by Kickstart to Fund Pivotal
Clinical Trial for FDA Market Authorization


This investment is a pivotal moment in our journey to transform the treatment
landscape for Parkinson's disease.”
— Kent Savage, CEO

AMERICAN FORK, UT, UNITED STATES, November 15, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ --
PhotoPharmics, an innovator in Parkinson's disease research and treatment, today
announced the successful first close of an $16 million investment round. The
investment round, led by Kickstart Fund, a venture capital firm based in Salt
Lake City, marks a significant milestone in PhotoPharmics' mission to
revolutionize Parkinson's disease treatment.

The primary purpose of this investment round is to fund a pivotal clinical trial
aimed at obtaining FDA market authorization for Celeste PhotoPharmics' FDA
breakthrough therapeutic device for Parkinson's disease. In research to this
point, the innovative therapy has shown remarkable potential in improving
overall function and quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease.

Kent Savage, CEO of PhotoPharmics, expressed his gratitude for the support of
investors, stating, "This investment is a pivotal moment in our journey to
transform the treatment landscape for Parkinson's disease. With this funding, we
are positioned to advance our research and bring hope to the millions of
individuals living with Parkinson's."

Kickstart’s expertise in supporting innovative ventures played a key role in
leading this investment round. Their commitment to PhotoPharmics reflects their
confidence in the potential of Celeste.

The Light for PD trial meets rigorous FDA and world-wide standards and will
assess the safety and efficacy of Celeste, a non-invasive treatment for
Parkinson's disease. Celest is designed to improve both motor and non-motor
function, offering a comprehensive non-pharmaceutical approach to Parkinson's
care.

Trial Description
---------------
The Light for PD trial will be a landmark study in the field of Parkinson's
disease treatment. This pivotal trial is designed to demonstrate Celeste's
potential to significantly enhance the lives of patients by targeting a range of
symptoms, including motor dysfunction, sleep disturbances, fatigue, mood
fluctuations, cognitive impairments, reduced activity levels, and disruptions in
circadian rhythm.

What sets this trial apart is its inclusive and accessible virtual design.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage from the comfort of their own
homes, eliminating geographical barriers and ensuring a diverse and
representative population. Celeste is used passively in the home and clinical
visits will be conducted via Zoom videoconferencing.

The investor’s commitments underscore the growing recognition of the potential
of Celeste to improve the lives of Parkinson's patients and reaffirms
PhotoPharmics' commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the field
of neurodegenerative diseases.

About PhotoPharmics
---------------
PhotoPharmics is a privately held, clinical-stage medical device company
developing next-generation treatments for treating neurodegenerative disorders
through the eyes. Company founders have 30+ years of research and experience in
this field. They previously developed specialized light solutions now widely
used to regulate circadian rhythms in seasonal affective disorder, sleep
disorders, anxiety, and depression (acquired by Philips-Respironics in 2007).

Drawing from research and recent trials, PhotoPharmics is developing
applications of specialized phototherapy across several neurodegenerative
diseases. The company aims to make a clinically meaningful difference in
patients’ lives by delivering safe and effective non-invasive treatments.
