Madrigal Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pursuing novel therapeutics that target a specific thyroid hormone receptor pathway in the liver, which is a key regulatory mechanism common to a spectrum of cardio-metabolic and fatty liver diseases with high unmet medical need. The Company has advanced its lead candidate, resmetirom, also known as MGL-3196, a first-in-class, orally administered, small-molecule, liver-directed, thyroid hormone receptor (THR) β-selective agonist, through Phase 2 clinical trials in NASH. Primary and key secondary endpoints were achieved including reduction of liver fat on a sensitive non-invasive imaging test, lowering of multiple atherogenic lipids including LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, and resolution of NASH on liver biopsy. Based on evidence of broad activity and a favorable safety profile, Madrigal has initiated a Phase 3 clinical study in NASH patients with advanced liver fibrosis, MAESTRO-NASH, in which the primary endpoint after one year of dosing is resolution of NASH and key secondary endpoints include LDL-cholesterol lowering and reduction in liver fibrosis. Clinical benefit in reducing progression to more advanced liver disease, including cirrhosis, is a long-term goal of this trial. A second Phase 3 clinical study, MAESTRO-NAFLD-1, has also been initiated. This 52-week non-invasive study in a broader segment of NASH patients will provide additional safety information to support the NASH indication and will include key efficacy endpoints: LDL-cholesterol lowering, triglyceride lowering, reduction of liver fat as determined by MRI-PDFF, as well as reduction of elevated liver enzymes and reduction in fibrosis biomarkers. This is a non-biopsy study in people with NASH, as documented using non-invasive techniques or historical liver biopsy.
Virpax`s lead product candidate, Probudur, is being developed using our proprietary liposomal encapsulation to deliver a sustain release of local anesthetic at the wound/incision site to control post-operative pain for 96 hours. We have executed Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA), as well as the National Institute of Health/NCATS; U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research/Department of Defense to develop differentiated non-addictive treatment options and the Epilepsy Therapy Screening Program (ETSP) which is focused on focused on addressing drug resistant epilepsy, disease prevention and modification. The three products in development are targeting unmet global needs in three separate multi-billion-dollar markets, including rare diseases. Our proprietary drug-delivery-platforms have been developed to optimize the efficacy of nonaddictive medications to manage Post Operative Pain, Severe Pain, Post Cancer Pain, PTSD, and Rare Pediatric Epilepsy including Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) and Dravet Syndrome (Orphan Diseases)
