Corporate presentation summary
11 Aug, 2026Company overview and strategy
Clinical-stage immunology company developing verekitug, a potent TSLP receptor antagonist for severe respiratory diseases.
Completed Phase 2 trials in severe asthma and CRSWNP; ongoing Phase 2 in COPD with data expected H2 2027.
Phase 3 trials in severe asthma and CRSWNP planned for Q1 2027, following FDA engagement in mid-2026.
Targeting best-in-class efficacy with a single quarterly at-home injection for broad patient populations.

Market opportunity
Severe asthma and COPD projected to drive a $35B+ global biologics market by 2033.
Severe asthma biologics market expected to grow from $7.5B in 2023 to $12.6B in 2032.
CRSWNP biologics sales estimated at $1.5B+ annually, with tezepelumab projected to exceed $600M by early 2030s.
COPD biologics market projected at $23B by 2033, with tezepelumab potentially reaching $5B if approved.
Less than 25% of eligible severe asthma patients currently receive biologic therapies.
Verekitug clinical profile and differentiation
Verekitug is a fully human IgG1 antibody with ~300-fold greater potency than tezepelumab.
Demonstrated robust efficacy and favorable safety in ~500 participants across Phase 1 and 2 trials.
Phase 2 trials showed efficacy meeting or exceeding approved biologics in severe asthma and CRSWNP with 100 mg every 12 weeks.
Positive treatment effects observed in both high and low eosinophil subgroups.
Well-characterized immunogenicity profile with no meaningful impact on safety or efficacy.
