Disease: reduction of tissue damage and improvement of ventricular function associated with myocardial infarction
Details:
DecImmune\'s proprietary antibody therapeutic is designed to reduce tissue damage and improve ventricular function associated with myocardial infarction. In a range of experimental models, DecImmune has shown that it is possible to reduce damage to heart tissue by using their proprietary therapeutic antibody. In these models the reduction in damage to heart tissue results in pumping efficiency returning to normal levels. DecImmune is also investigating this targeted approach to reduce tissue damage for a range of other acute and chronic post-injury settings.
