A Clinical Stage Company

ARKAY is a privately-held, clinical stage company. Leading experts in diabetes and cardiovascular disease have invested in the company. Currently, there are no anti-inflammatory 'Beta cell-centric' therapies on the market. This is why the opportunity to capitalize on this cutting-edge medicine is so great.

Our lead combination product was efficacious and safe in the preclinical PoC studies performed using C57BL/6J DIO (Diet-induced obesity) mice with pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance*.

ARKAY Therapeutics has established fully protected intellectual space for advancing anti-inflammatory 'Beta-cell-centric' therapies. U.S. patent US 9,839,644 B2 "Formulations and Methods for Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome” was issued on December 12, 2017. It describes in detail over 60 formulations and methods for treating Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and metabolic disease-related disorders.  ARKAY's IND application for evaluating the superiority of our product over Metformin in obese type 2 diabetes patients with inadequate glycemic control was approved by the FDA in May 2018 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03686657).

ARKAY has sold the rights to the clinical stage asset and the intellectual property (IP) to Myopharm Limited. ARKAY's team will continue to serve as advisors to Myopharm.


Collaborators

ARKAY is collaborating with Albany Medical College, one of the premier medical schools for clinical research, and leading CROs for formulation development, clinical supplies, and clinical trial monitoring and data management.
