We are a biotechnology company developing small molecule oral therapeutics for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, or IMIDs. Our aim is to develop oral,safe and effective small molecule therapies that control inflammation, prevent tissue damage, improve quality of life and achieve long-term disease remission.We believe that the lack of an in-depth understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying immune-mediated inflammation has restricted therapeutic options for several IMIDs to merely symptomatic interventions, with limited effectiveness. Our drug discovery and development approach combines artificial
intelligence, or AI, and machine learning, or ML, with our team’s extensive experience and expertise, to decode the mechanisms and pathways that drive the initiation and progression of inflammation for patients with IMIDs. We currently have two product candidates, INVA8001, which we plan to progress into Phase 2b of clinical development, and INVA8003, which is in early stage preclinical development. We believe that our product candidates, INVA8001 and INVA8003, if approved, can potentially transform the treatment of several IMIDs, such as atopic dermatitis, or AD, and chronic urticaria, or CU, which are characterized by limited or no available therapeutic options or patient populations that are unresponsive, partially responsive or develop resistance to currently available therapies. INVA8001 is designed as an oral, small molecule, highly selective and potent inhibitor of chymase, a key mediator of mast cells driving inflammation, epithelial barrier damage and fibrosis.
