Products
Intravenous small-molecule CRAC channel inhibitor (IV formulation)
An intravenously administered small-molecule CRAC channel inhibitor developed for acute, life-threatening inflammatory illnesses; characterized by dual activities of modulating immune cell activation and protecting organ tissue cells from calcium-mediated injury. Studied in multiple Phase 2 clinical trials in acute pancreatitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome / severe COVID-19 pneumonia, and acute kidney injury.
Oral small-molecule CRAC channel inhibitor candidates
Orally dosed CRAC channel inhibitor candidates in lead-optimization and IND-enabling preclinical testing, intended for chronic inflammatory indications such as chronic pancreatitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
