EvlaBio AG is a life science startup dedicated to the development of first-in-class therapeutics in the cardiovascular and cardiorenal space. The lead asset is a therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting the FGF23/FGFR4 pathway for the treatment of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in the setting of chronic kidney disease (CKD). LVH and HFpEF occur in CKD patients as a consequence of FGF23/FGFR4 overdrive. Hence, blocking the FGF23/FGFR4 interaction has the potential to prevent cardiac hypertrophy and ameliorate heart failure in patients with CKD. The serviceable obtainable market of patients with LVH due to FGF23/FGFR4 overdrive ranges between 5 and 6 M in the seven major markets, representing a substantial commercial opportunity. Based on its underlying mechanism of action, the EvlaBio approach is expected to be hemodynamically neutral. This is a critical differentiating feature from currently available treatment options. With respect to modality, the EvlaBio will be the first biologic developed for this indication, and it has the potential to be a first in class and first in indication therapy. We also have a biomarker strategy leveraging specific features of target biology in place, ensuring effective clinical trial design.
