Positive Phase I results for first-in-kind small molecule complement inhibitor

Drug Discovery World

ANX1502 is a first-in-kind oral, selective small molecule inhibitor that targets the active form of C1s responsible for propagating classical pathway activation in association with C1q. Across all doses evaluated, ANX1502 was generally well tolerated with mild to moderate treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
