Fosigotifator is an experimental small-molecule related to ISRIB that activates the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF2; it was licensed by Calico from University of California, San Francisco and partnered with AbbVie.[1][2][3] Abbvie and Calico ran clinical trials to determine if the drug can treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)[4][5][6] and major depressive disorder.[1] A formulation of fosigotifator, as its monosodium phosphate salt mixed with tromethamine, is known as ABBV-CLS-7262. Fosigotifator has been patented by AbbVie and Calico as a prodrug for modulation of the integrated stress response pathway.[7]

In January 2025 Abbvie and Calico announced that the drug had failed a Phase 2/3 trial in ALS; in November 2025 Abbvie ended its partnership with Calico.[1]
