SAN DIEGO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ocelot Bio, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative therapeutics to treat complications of end-stage liver disease (ESLD), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation to its lead candidate OCE-205 for the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome. Ocelot Bio is currently enrolling patients in a Phase 2 clinical trial of OCE-205 in hepatorenal syndrome with acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI), a serious and rapidly progressive consequence of ESLD that leads to acute renal failure and is associated with high rates of morbidity.
