Project description
NTP42 – A novel therapy for lung and heart disease
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterised by high blood pressure in the lungs caused by obstruction of small lung arteries. The reduced blood flow makes it harder for the right side of the heart to pump blood through the arteries, leading to heart failure. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the PAH-Advance project introduces a disruptive drug (called NTP42) that directly treats all clinical hallmarks of PAH in both the lungs and heart. NTP42 has already been validated for safety in a phase I clinical trial and confirmed as efficacious at low doses in healthy human volunteers. Through PAH-Advance, NTP42 will now be tested in a phase II trial in PAH patients, greatly advancing its route to the market.
Objective
ATXA Therapeutics has developed NTP42, a disruptive new drug for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and related cardiopulmonary (heart & lung) diseases. NTP42 blocks the thromboxane receptor, a target at the root cause of PAH & related diseases. By treating all clinical hallmarks in both the LUNGS and HEART, NTP42 offers a game-changing solution for PAH leading to its rapid adoption once marketed. ATXAs Phase I clinical trial showed NTP42 is safe & highly efficacious in man.
With EIC Blended Finance and VC co-investment, ATXA will undertake a Phase II trial on NTP42 in PAH. We will then secure a licensing deal with a pharma to ACCELERATE NTP42 to the PAH market (sales >$1B at 5 yrs post-launch & royalty returns to ATXA). With the proceeds of the licensing deal, we will DIVERSIFY uses of NTP42/pipeline drugs to treat other priority target diseases. This will also ENABLE growth (>100 FTEs), transforming ATXA into a major European pharma with a diversified diseases & drugs portfolio.
