The most advanced drug candidate, GS-248, reduces inflammation and increases blood flow in the microvasculature, thereby having the potential to provide improved treatments for several serious diseases. In an ongoing clinical proof-of-concept study,GS-248 is being evaluated for its capacity to normalize vascular blood flow and reduce pain in patients with the autoimmune disease systemic sclerosis. Positive results from this study may lead to a rapid broadening of the development program towards additional indications, for example cardiovascular diseases and rheumatic diseases other than systemic sclerosis. Major shareholders include Industrifonden, Linc, Hadean Ventures, and a number of successful life science entrepreneurs.
