Objetivo
NanoPhoria bioscience leads the way in the development of groundbreaking inhalable cardiovascular treatments by combining innovative biologic drugs with a unique nanoparticle-mediated delivery platform.
We seek EIC support to develop our lead product NP-MP1. This highly innovative lung-to-heart nano-in-micro peptide formulation has the potential to radically improve the treatment of Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF), a chronic and largely unmet clinical condition affecting millions worldwide, with mortality and morbidity higher than most cancers.
The peptide has proven safe and effective in restoring contractility in diseased cardiomyocytes, the cells responsible for heart to pumping. It modulates the L-type Calcium Channel, a key molecular player in excitation-contraction coupling, leading to the recovery of ejection fraction and halting HFrEF progression. Thanks to the patient-friendly inhalable formulation and the nano-carriers, the peptide can selectively and non-invasively reach the cardiomyocytes and perform its pharmacological action.
Supported by solid proofs of concept in clinically relevant animal models, NP-MP1 offers a disease modifying mechanism of action and a targeted heart delivery, minimising accumulation in other organs and associated side effects: an approach not yet exploited in any clinical cardiovascular strategy. Therefore, NanoPhoria's solution is set to significantly improve life expectancy, quality of life and cost-effectiveness, outperforming competitors.
The EIC project aims to further de-risk NP-MP1's development process, complete First-in-Human clinical trials and attract potential licensees/acquirers, bridging the gap between the current validation stage and the future exit.
NanoPhoria's experienced team, collaboration with renowned academic institutions, CROs and CMOs, and established affiliations with distinguished cardiologists guarantee a successful pathway to clinical validation and commercial triumph.
