What Inhibikase Therapeutics does
Inhibikase Therapeutics is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics to modify the course of cardiopulmonary diseases, starting with pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, which is an orphan indication. Its lead product candidate is IKT-001, a prodrug of imatinib. Imatinib was first approved in the United States in 2001 for various cancers and blood disorders, and the company notes that after more than 20 years of clinical use it has a well-characterized safety profile. The first reported use of imatinib in PAH occurred in 2005. PAH is a progressive, life-threatening disease that affects approximately 50,000 Americans. The company describes aberrant signaling through type III receptor tyrosine kinases, including platelet derived growth factor receptors and a stem cell factor receptor known as c-Kit, as implicated in the disease. Inhibikase has completed a non-human primate safety study and a bioequivalence clinical study in healthy volunteers to determine the doses of IKT-001. It plans to initiate Phase 3 trials in PAH in multiple countries to support regulatory approval. Its subsidiaries are IKT Securities Corporation and CorHepta Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
