About AZP-3601
AZP-3601 is an investigational therapeutic peptide designed to target a specific conformation of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor in order to safely produce sustained and stable levels of calcium in the blood and thereby manage the symptoms of hypoparathyroidism, and to limit urine calcium excretion by restoring calcium reabsorption by the kidney, with the goal of consequently preventing chronic kidney disease. In addition to its unique receptor profile, AZP-3601 is also designed to have a short half-life to potentially preserve bone integrity, an important benefit, since the majority of patients are peri- and postmenopausal women with an increased risk of developing osteoporosis.
About AZP-3813
AZP-3813 is a small peptide growth hormone (GH) receptor antagonist (GHRA) being developed as a potential treatment for acromegaly to be used as an add-on therapy with somatostatin analogues (SSAs) for patients who do not adequately respond to SSAs alone. Acromegaly is a rare chronic endocrine disorder that is typically caused by an adenoma (benign tumor) of the pituitary that secretes abnormally high levels of GH, which results in excess production of IGF-1. AZP-3813 was identified and optimized through a research collaboration with PeptiDream and is being developed as a potential next-generation GHRA therapeutic.
