About us
aTyr Pharma (Nasdaq: LIFE) is a biotherapeutics company engaged in the discovery and development of innovative medicines based on novel biological pathways. aTyr’s research and development efforts are concentrated on a newly discovered area of biology, the extracellular functionality and signaling pathways of tRNA synthetases. aTyr has built a global intellectual property estate directed to a potential pipeline of protein compositions derived from 20 tRNA synthetase genes and their extracellular targets. aTyr’s primary focus is efzofitimod (ATYR1923), a clinical-stage product candidate which binds to the neuropilin-2 receptor and is designed to down-regulate immune engagement in severe inflammatory lung diseases.

We are pleased to announce that our lead therapeutic candidate, efzofitimod, for the treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis will be featured in the Best of CHEST Journals session today at the CHEST 2024 Annual Meeting. Dr. Daniel A. Culver, Chair of the Division of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic, will discuss data from the Phase 1b/2a study that were previously published in the CHEST journal and a post hoc analysis of the study that was recently published in the European Respiratory Society.

Today we announced the publication of a post hoc analysis of the Phase 1b/2a study of efzofitimod in pulmonary sarcoidosis in the European Respiratory Journal. The publication reports positive findings when analyzing time-to-first relapse and relapse rate for corticosteroid use in therapeutic (3.0 and 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod) vs subtherapeutic (1.0 mg/kg efzofitimod and placebo) groups. These findings further demonstrate the efficacy of efzofitimod, and we believe we are on the cusp of a paradigm shift in the treatment for sarcoidosis, where patients may have the opportunity to receive a clinically validated treatment option that can help reduce or avoid steroid-related toxicity. The publication, entitled, “Therapeutic Doses of Efzofitimod Demonstrate Efficacy in Pulmonary Sarcoidosis,” is available on the Journal’s website and at: https://lnkd.in/gkH5NeEW.

As we close out Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month, we would like to thank all of the organizations and individuals who worked to educate and generate awareness of this serious and often debilitating condition where there is scarring, or fibrosis, of the lungs. At aTyr, we will continue to support the pulmonary fibrosis (PF) community by working to develop efzofitimod as a potential treatment for those living with pulmonary sarcoidosis and SSc-ILD, two forms of interstitial lung disease (ILD) that can result in progressive fibrosis of the lungs.

Today we announced a research study with Stanford Medicine to explore the role of our anti-neuropilin-2 (NRP2) antibodies in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common type of primary brain cancer. Dr. Michael Lim, Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford Medicine, will serve as the principal investigator for the study, which aims to evaluate the NRP2 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy to evaluate their role in reversing immune evasion in GBM. This study presents an important opportunity to enhance our mechanistic understanding regarding the role of NRP2 in mediating immune suppression in an extremely aggressive cancer where there is a high unmet medical need. We look forward to potential findings from this research. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3A4735A #neuropilin2 #NRP2 #GlioblastomaMultiforme #GBM #cancer
