Therapy
PB01
A first-in-class biotherapeutic
PB01 is recombinant human follistatin-288, the most potent form of follistatin. It is a novel biological molecule with strong anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic actions. PB01 binds to and neutralizes the activity of the TGFβ superfamily of growth and differentiation cytokines, most notably the activin family. Follistatin has been shown to reduce inflammation, oxidative stress and cell death, and enhance tissue repair in preclinical models of acute kidney injury.
Paranta is developing PB01 for therapeutic use in the prevention of delayed graft function during kidney transplantation.
