ZyVersa Therapeutics – Focus on Kidney Diseases with High Unmet Needs
Steve Glover, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of ZyVersa Therapeutics, a clinical-stage specialty biopharmaceutical company discusses the work the company is doing to develop first-in-class drugs for patients with inflammatory or kidney diseases with high unmet medical needs. They are well positioned in the rapidly emerging inflammasome space with a highly differentiated inflammasome inhibitor (IC 100), and in kidney disease with a novel phase 2a-ready cholesterol efflux mediator (VAR 200). Lead products in each therapeutic area offer a “pipeline within a product,” with the potential for numerous indications. Currently, there is very little research being done in the renal space.
