Diagonal Therapeutics develops agonist antibody-based drugs designed to correct abnormal signaling in severe genetic diseases such as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. The company is also exploring its antibody as a treatment for the underlying cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It has demonstrated significant disease-modifying activity in several preclinical models of NHT and PAH and restore normal signaling in patient-derived cells. The company claims its antibodies are highly specific, easy to manufacture and convenient for use in patients, with potential for modification during disease management.

Enterprise Therapeutics is a drug discovery company dedicated to the research and development of novel therapies for the treatment of respiratory diseases. In diseases such as cystic fibrosis, asthma and COPD the lungs become congested with mucus leading to difficulty in breathing. New disease modifying therapies that target the underlying mechanisms of mucus congestion will reduce the frequency of lung infections and improve patient quality of life.
