Corporate presentation summary
11 Sep, 2026Strategic focus and pipeline overview
Portfolio targets fundamental pathways in red blood cell biology, focusing on heme and iron metabolism to address a spectrum of hematologic diseases from rare to widely prevalent conditions.
Lead programs include bitopertin (GlyT1 inhibitor), selcodebart (anti-HJV mAb), and DISC-3405 (anti-TMPRSS6 mAb), each with distinct mechanisms and clinical targets.
Programs are advancing through late-stage clinical trials, with bitopertin in Phase 3 for erythropoietic porphyrias, selcodebart in Phase 2 for myelofibrosis and IBD anemia, and DISC-3405 in Phase 2 for polycythemia vera and Phase 1b for sickle cell disease.
Bitopertin clinical progress and market opportunity
Bitopertin demonstrated significant reductions in PPIX, improved sunlight tolerance, and reduced phototoxic reactions in EPP/XLP patients across multiple trials (AURORA, BEACON, HELIOS).
APOLLO Phase 3 trial fully enrolled, with topline data expected Q4 2026; study design powered for robust efficacy endpoints.
Potential to be the first approved disease-modifying therapy for EPP, addressing a $2B+ US market.
Expanded Access Program launched for eligible patients in the US and select countries.
Selcodebart clinical progress and market opportunity
Selcodebart targets hepcidin suppression to increase iron availability, with proof-of-concept established in healthy volunteers and myelofibrosis patients.
RALLY-MF Phase 2 data show durable hemoglobin increases and transfusion reduction across all anemia severity cohorts, with clinically meaningful improvements in fatigue and quality of life.
Safety profile consistent with target biology; most common adverse events were mild to moderate.
Positioned to address the full MF anemia market (~$4B US opportunity) and expanding into other anemias of inflammation, including IBD.
