Company Profile

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. operates as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The company is headquartered in South San Francisco, California and currently employs 7 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2006-04-12. The firm is focused on the development and commercialization of Hydronidone for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a severe form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the United States. Hydronidone is being evaluated for the treatment of liver fibrosis associated with a spectrum of chronic liver diseases. A Phase 1 clinical trial of Hydronidone has been completed in the United States and generated pharmacokinetic (PK), safety and tolerability data of single and multiple ascending doses of Hydronidone in United States healthy subjects. Hydronidone is a structural analogue of the approved anti-fibrotic (pulmonary fibrosis) drug pirfenidone. Hydronidone has been shown to inhibit both p38y kinase activity and TGF-b1- induced excessive collagen synthesis in vitro in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which are recognized as critical events in the development and progression of fibrosis in the liver.
