Clinical Advisory Board,” said JD Finley, Chief Executive Officer

are increasingly seeking oral treatment options that are more

bioactivation holds the potential to address the tolerability
issues associated with systemic distribution of this class of

explore the most effective strategies for demonstrating clinical
efficacy and advancing the development of this promising candidate,
which targets significant unmet medical needs.”
