Its programs address unmet needs in GI health and include latiglutenase, a Phase III-ready, oral biotherapeutic designed to aid gluten digestion and potentially reduce symptoms of celiac disease; capeserod, a selective 5-HT4 receptor partial agonist for multiple GI conditions, including gastroparesis, and adrulipase, a recombinant lipase enzyme designed to enable the digestion of fats and other nutrients in cystic fibrosis and chronic pancreatitis patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. The Company also intends to develop Niclosamide, an oral small molecule anti-inflammatory inhibitor therapy for the treatment of ulcerative proctitis and ulcerative proctosigmoiditis, and immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated colitis and diarrhea in metastatic cancer patients.
