Pathalys Pharma

Seed Round in 2021
Pathalys Pharma is a clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapeutics for late-stage chronic kidney disease. The company primarily aims to address the unmet medical need associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), a condition characterized by the overactivity of the parathyroid glands due to external diseases. Pathalys is developing upacicalcet, a novel calcimimetic designed to improve SHPT treatment in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Upacicalcet works by mimicking the action of calcium on tissues, activating the calcium-sensing receptor found in various human organs. This approach has the potential to enhance patient care for those suffering from end-stage chronic kidney disease.
