Our Commitment to Advancing Treatments for TK2d

At UCB we are driven by our commitment to people living with severe diseases who inspire our research and development across neurology, immunology, and other areas where our, expertise, innovation and ambition align with unmet needs.  

One such area of unmet need is in the management of thymidine kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d), where there are no approved therapies or international clinical guidelines. This rare, debilitating mitochondrial disorder affects children and adults, leading to progressive muscle weakness and severe mobility and respiratory challenges.

We recognize the urgent need for innovative therapies and are committed to driving research forward. Our team is working tirelessly to advance potential treatments that target the underlying causes of TK2d, offering hope to patients and families who currently have limited options. By collaborating with leading researchers, patient advocacy groups, and the medical community, we aim to accelerate the development of effective treatments that improve quality of life.

Every breakthrough begins with a commitment to those affected. We stand with the TK2d community and will continue to invest in advancing medical education and breakthrough science, ensuring that no one facing this condition is left without hope.
