RYE, N.Y., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Curemark, LLC, (www.curemark.com), a drug research and development company focused on the treatment of neurological diseases, presented at the Rodman & Renshaw Annual Global Investment Conference held September 12-15 in New York City. The global investment conference attracted more than 5,000 investors and other attendees.

"Curemark was one of only a handful of private companies invited to present at the conference, which included a full roster of 610 companies presenting," said Dr. Joan Fallon said, Curemark founder and CEO. "To be able to participate was a terrific opportunity to showcase our progress, as the event was essentially a packed house."

At the conference, Fallon discussed the momentum of Curemark's drug pipeline. CM-AT, the company's autism treatment in development, is currently in Phase III clinical trials at 13 sites nationwide and has been granted Fast Track status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA also has given clearance to Curemark's Investigational New Drug (IND) application for a Phase III clinical trial to study the use of the company's compound CM-4612 in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Curemark's autism treatment targets enzyme deficiencies in autistic children which affect the availability of amino acids, the building blocks of chemicals essential for brain function. If approved, it will be one of the first therapies to address the underlying physiology of autism.
