Altay Therapeutics Inc. discovers novel treatments for chronic inflammatory diseases and cancers.






Novel Mechanism:
Our small molecules inhibit disease-causing transcription factors by disrupting their association with DNA.

Robust Platform and screening approach:
Our platform identifies novel transcription factors as targets for a wide range of diseases and develops novel DNA binding inhibitors.

Preclinical findings:
Our small molecules have shown exceptional results in several animal models for fibrotic diseases such as lung and liver fibrosis as well as several cancers. 
The Science

Altay develops novel small molecules that inhibit transcription factors that are validated drivers of disease. Our platform, enables us to identify new targets in a variety of therapeutic areas and generate inhibitors using our screening approach. Our mechanism of inhibition enables us to drug the "undruggable", giving us a leading advantage over our competitors.


Our first cellular target is a key driver of inflammation and cell transformation during disease initiation and progression.

Focused Therapies



Altay focuses on finding safe and potent treatments for chronic inflammatory diseases such as fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and several cancers.



Pipeline

Clinic by Q3 2022. We are focused on finding treatments for chronic inflammatory liver diseases such as NASH and liver cancer. We expect to nominate a lead drug for liver diseases by Q1 of 2021. 


Our pre-clinical studies for prostate cancer and Ewings Sarcoma show great efficacy. We expect to nominate a lead for our prostate cancer program by Q2 of 2021.
