▾

Developer of biologics for selective degradation of disease-driving extracellular proteins. It focuses on precision therapeutics for autoimmune diseases by targeting circulating proteins, specifically autoantibodies. The company's platform enables rapid, selective, and deep degradation of target proteins without broad immunosuppression. This approach offers an improved safety profile and the potential for earlier disease intervention, which could improve patient quality of life and lower healthcare costs. The platform can target and degrade any circulating extracellular protein of interest, applicable to diseases driven by circulating proteins, such as autoimmune and neurological diseases.

MetrioPharm is a clinical stage pharmaceutical biotech company developing new medications against chronic immune disorders. Their focus is on Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases (IMIDs) such as psoriasis, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. The primary target of drug molecules from MetrioPharm's MP1000 platform is the macrophage. Molecules of MetrioPharm's MP1000 drug platform including our lead drug MP1032 have the ability to modulate the activation state of macrophages from their inflammatory and destructive M1 state towards the M2 state. Their drug candidates have shown the potential to be significantly safer and more tolerable than existing therapies. MetrioPharm's lead compound MP1032 is currently in phase II clinical testing to treat Psoriasis
