About Ventus Therapeutics
Ventus Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company deploying leading-edge structural biology and computational chemistry tools to create novel small molecule medicines for challenging targets in immunology, inflammation, and neurology. The company’s proprietary drug discovery platform, ReSOLVE™, gives it the ability to discover and develop medicines through unique insights into protein targets and to create dynamic hydrocophore™ blueprints that can guide the development of differentiated therapies at a fast pace. Ventus’ first target screen was conducted in 2020, which led to the nomination of three development candidates in 2022, including: VENT-03, a potential first-in-class cGAS inhibitor; VENT-02, a brain-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor; and VENT-01, a peripherally restricted NLRP3 inhibitor. Ventus entered the clinic with its most advanced program, VENT-02, in 2023, and the Phase 1 clinical trial is ongoing. These programs exemplify Ventus’ unique discovery capabilities and focus on first- and best-in-class programs for multi-indication immunology and neurology targets.
