We are a pharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development, and commercialization of therapies for serious rare and life-threatening diseases with significant unmet medical needs. We identify and develop treatments where science can be applied in new ways for use in diseases with high unmet need.
In the U.S., OLPRUVA™ (sodium phenylbutyrate) for oral suspension was recently approved for the treatment of urea cycle disorders (“UCDs”) involving deficiencies of carbamylphosphate synthetase (“CPS”), ornithine transcarbamylase (“OTC”), or argininosuccinic acid synthetase (“AS”).1 We are also advancing a pipeline of investigational product candidates, including EDSIVO™ (celiprolol) for the treatment of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (“vEDS”) patients with a confirmed type III collagen (COL3A1) mutation, and ACER-801 (osanetant) for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms (“VMS”), post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), and prostate cancer, although the ACER-801 programs have all been paused due to top-line results announced in March 2023 from a Phase 2a proof of concept clinical trial to evaluate ACER-801 in VMS. We also intend to explore additional lifecycle opportunities for OLPRUVA™ (sodium phenylbutyrate) in various disorders where proof of concept data exists, subject to additional capital.
