The company's primary business focus is the development of therapeutics designed to inhibit acute and chronic inflammation. Its research and development efforts are centered on targeting two specific biological pathways: the complement system and the leukotriene system, which are recognized mediators of inflammatory processes. The company's lead asset is nomacopan, a bispecific recombinant inhibitor that simultaneously targets complement component C5 and leukotriene B4 (LTB4). This dual mechanism of action is being investigated for the treatment of rare inflammatory diseases with significant unmet medical need.

The company's strategic focus remains on progressing its clinical pipeline for inflammatory conditions mediated by the complement and leukotriene pathways.
