Projectdetails

Introduction

There is a major unmet need for effective and safe therapies for advanced peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) due to the high cardiovascular mortality, morbidity, and amputation rates in these patients.

Product Development

Aplagon is developing the first vascular injury-targeting product (APAC) for the local treatment of advanced PAOD. PAOD is caused by fatty deposits in lower limb arteries (atherosclerosis) that become inflamed (thromboinflammation), resulting in blood coagulation (atherothrombosis).

Mechanism of Action

APAC uniquely targets these vessels, prevents further atherosclerosis, and downregulates thromboinflammation, the main drivers of PAOD.

Progress and Support

Aplagon has completed preclinical proof-of-concept and toxicology studies and received regulatory approval to enter clinical studies. Aplagon has an experienced, international team and is supported by a renowned scientific advisory board.

Funding Application

We are applying for EIC funding to show the safety and efficacy of APAC in PAOD/CLI patients, a major value inflection point.
