Inhibikase Therapeutics Inc

Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics to modify the course of cardiopulmonary diseases, with a primary focus on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a progressive, life-threatening disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. Its lead candidate, IKT-001, is a novel oral prodrug of imatinib mesylate designed to improve areas of the molecule that may contribute to gastrointestinal side effects associated with imatinib, while maintaining systemic exposure and efficacy through oral administration. The company has completed non-human primate safety studies and a bioequivalence clinical study in healthy volunteers, establishing dose equivalence with imatinib. IKT-001 is currently being evaluated in a global, adaptive Phase 3 clinical trial (IMPROVE-PAH), with endpoints including pulmonary vascular resistance and 6-minute walk distance. Inhibikase Therapeutics has entered into a collaborative research and development agreement with Sphaera Pharma Pte. Ltd., which was subsequently assigned to Pivot Holding LLC, for prodrug technology development, and maintains an exclusive license for IKT-001. The company was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware.
