About INV-202
INV-202 is a small molecule CB1r blocker being developed for the potential treatment of a range of cardiometabolic conditions, including diabetic kidney disease. It is specifically designed to preferentially block CB1 receptors in peripheral tissues such as the kidneys, gastro-intestinal tract, liver, pancreas, adipose tissues, muscles, lungs and other organs. The therapeutic effects of peripheral CB1r blockade in a range of cardiometabolic and fibrotic diseases are well-documented, paving the way for potential treatment of a large number of patients with current unmet needs. INV-202 is being evaluated in a Phase 2 study for patients with diabetic kidney disease with results expected in mid 2024.
