The financing will be used for completion of global pivotal clinical trials of ABP-671, its unique orally administered URAT1 inhibitor for chronic gout and to advance to clinical stage the company’s innovative pipeline of drugs for inflammatory and metabolic diseases.
ABP-671 is a small molecule inhibitor of the urate transporter 1 (URAT1) protein, which is involved in the reabsorption of uric acid by the kidneys. In gout patients, ABP-671 reduces the reabsorption of uric acid, increasing its excretion in urine.
The net proceeds will be used to advance OLT1177 (dapansutrile) into later stage clinical development. Dapansutrile is an investigational small molecule, that specifically binds to and blocks NLRP3, the sensor molecule integral in the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
