CONFIDENTIAL BRIEFING // [LLNL-02 / CX-101]

Beyond Survival.
Protecting the Cognitive Edge.

Developing the next generation of nerve agent antidotes. The first therapeutic capability was designed to preserve both life and brain function.

VIEW THE MISSION ↓

The Status Quo is Grossly Inadequate

Nerve agents—including Sarin, VX, and Novichok—remain a credible and evolving threat in asymmetric conflicts. Current medical countermeasures (legacy oximes) save lives; they were designed for survival, not neuroprotection.

"Current countermeasures keep the victim alive but leave them unprotected from longterm neurologic injury."

BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER: BLOCKED

Legacy solutions cannot reach the brain effectively to stop central seizure activity.

TARGET: PENETRATED

LLNL-02 / CX-101

The first nerve-agent antidote capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier to preserve neurologic function.

True CNS Defense: LLNL-02 / CX-101

Developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), LLNL-02 / CX-101 is engineered to replace the 60-year-old agent currently in the Strategic National Stockpile.

First-in-Class CNS Penetration

Developed by LLNL research scientists as the first nerve-agent antidote capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier.

5x Longer Exposure

Demonstrates approximately 5x longer durable systemic exposure than current standard-of-care antidotes.

Drop-In Ready

Designed as a superior replacement for legacy oximes in existing autoinjector platforms—not just an adjunct.

De-Risked Execution

A mandated execution program aligned with national security requirements.
