WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Corvidia Therapeutics Inc., a leading clinical stage biotechnology company, will present its work on an investigational cardio-renal therapy being developed to address residual inflammatory cardiovascular risk in patients living with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) at the 37th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco next week.
Chief Executive Officer Marc de Garidel will share details on Corvidia's multi-scale approach utilizing genomic, phenomic and interventional evidence in the development of precision medicines for cardio-renal patients. Corvidia's lead asset, ziltivekimab, is an anti-inflammatory monoclonal antibody targeting a patient population genetically-susceptible to the effects of a specific type of inflammation.
Inflammation has been established as a causal factor in the residual risk of cardiovascular patients, particularly within the context of chronic kidney disease, with a susceptible population of over a million patients worldwide. Corvidia is developing evidence for Interkleukin-6 as a factor in this inflammatory cardiovascular risk in patients with CKD who carry both genetic and clinical risk characteristics. Mr. de Garidel will offer insight into how Corvidia Therapeutics is utilizing a combination of genomics and patient risk factor analysis to develop its lead asset for patients living with CKD.
