Aerovate Therapeutics, Inc. is a biotechnology company which engages in the development of drugs for rare cardiopulmonary disease. The company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and currently employs 16 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2021-06-30. The firm is focused on developing drugs that improve the lives of patients with rare cardiopulmonary disease. The firm's lead program is a drug that addresses the core disease processes of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). AV-101 is an inhaled dry powder formulation of imatinib that conveniently delivers the medicine directly to the diseased lung tissues while reducing systemic adverse effects. AV-101's anti-proliferative mechanism is distinguished from vasodilatory therapies and is poised to make a meaningful difference in the lives of PAH patients. The firm has completed a Phase I trial in the United States of AV-101 in 82 healthy adults. In its Phase I trial, there were no adverse events associated with AV-101. The company anticipates initiating a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized Phase II b/III trial of AV-101.
