We are working on medicines* to fulfill unmet needs. We believe that small-molecule therapies targeting G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have the potential to transform the lives of patients with immune-mediated diseases.
OUR RELENTLESS COMMITMENT
We care more and act differently. This isn’t just a slogan. It’s a commitment to act, born of our persistence. With a pipeline grounded in 2 decades of world-class GPCR discovery research, we are investigating treatments that address unmet needs, designing trials with patients’ lives in mind, and forming partnerships to ensure the development of important medicines.*
Since our development of assays—including Constitutively Activated Receptor Technology (CART), a method of making a single amino acid change to GPCR sequences that causes the GPCRs to favor an active state, and our initial human tissue mapping of GPCR 2 decades ago—we haven’t slowed.1 In the past 2 years alone, this is just a sample of what we’ve accomplished:
We’re developing small-molecule compounds with patient needs in mind. This is what drives us in the development of all of our molecules. We believe our investigational drug etrasimod† has shown promise in potentially addressing the needs of patients with immune-mediated diseases. It is a once-daily, oral, selective, sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator that we are evaluating for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease) as well as eosinophilic esophagitis, atopic dermatitis, and alopecia areata.
We are a company that never stops thinking, caring, or doing . . . until it’s done.
