SynAct Pharma AB is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the resolution of inflammation through the selective activation of the melanocortin system. The company has a broad portfolio of oral and injectable selective melanocortin agonists aimed at inducing anti-inflammatory and inflammation resolution activity in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases to help patients achieve immune balance and overcome their inflammation.
Our lead asset AP1189 is being evaluated in three Phase 2 clinical programs: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN, a form of nephrotic syndrome), and virus-induced respiratory insufficiency (VIRI) like that seen in COVID-19.
In January of 2023, SynAct completed the acquisition of TXP Pharma AG, significantly expanding its melanocortin technology portfolio with complimentary peptide agonists that can be tailored to a wide range of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
