About Aptahem

Aptahem AB (publ) is a clinical stage biotechnology company that develops RNA-based pharmaceuticals, also referred to as aptamers, for the treatment of acute, life-threatening conditions in which a combination of coagulation, inflammation and tissue damage are involved. Aptahem’s goal is to address the global medical need of treatments for sepsis and other acute inflammatory conditions.

The company’s lead candidate, Apta-1, is currently in early clinical phase. Apta-1 has in preclinical studies, by its anti-thrombotic, immunomodulating and tissue repairing characteristics, shown very positive and promising results as treatment for sepsis and critical conditions associated with sepsis. This has found the base for the company’s great ambitions to build a broad portfolio of a new generation of aptamer-based treatments.

Aptahem’s ambition is to develop its RNA-aptamer technology and to build a platform portfolio with top-class multi-mechanistic solutions to meet large medical needs on a long-term basis.
