PureTech Health ( (GB:PRTC) ) has issued an announcement.

PureTech Health’s founded entity Seaport Therapeutics has reported first-in-human clinical and preclinical data for GlyphAllo, an oral prodrug of allopregnanolone built on its proprietary Glyph platform for lymphatic drug delivery. The data, published in Science Translational Medicine, validate the Glyph approach to improving oral bioavailability of small molecules historically limited by first-pass liver metabolism, underpinning a diversified pipeline in neuropsychiatry and beyond.

The publication shows GlyphAllo achieved therapeutically relevant allopregnanolone levels and pharmacodynamic effects in healthy volunteers, with dose-dependent exposure and favorable tolerability across Phase 1 and 2a studies. These findings support the ongoing global Phase 2b BUOY-1 trial in major depressive disorder and highlight potential applications of the Glyph platform across oncology, immunology, metabolic disease, and obesity, reinforcing Seaport’s and PureTech’s positioning in next-wave neuropsychiatric and systemic therapies.
