A biology-driven development philosophy.​

Developing differentiated therapeutic approaches for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases​.​

Addressing complex disease biology.

Cardiometabolic diseases, including atherosclerosis and metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH), represent a growing global health burden with limited durable treatment options. These conditions are characterised by interconnected disturbances in lipid metabolism, inflammation, and tissue remodelling, creating substantial challenges for conventional single-target therapeutic approaches.

Corvidane is developing novel therapeutic programmes designed to address these underlying biological complexities in a way that is compatible with real-world clinical practice.

 

Relevance

Current cardiometabolic drug development is increasingly constrained by fragmented mechanisms, safety trade-offs, and limited durability of effect. As treatment paradigms shift towards combination regimens and earlier intervention, pharmaceutical companies are seeking therapies that can integrate into evolving standards of care rather than compete directly with them.

 

Corvidane’s programmes are being developed with this reality in mind, prioritising compatibility, scalability, and long-term clinical utility.

 

A biology-driven development philosophy

Corvidane’s work is grounded in a deep understanding of cardiometabolic disease biology and its translational implications. The company focuses on upstream biological drivers that influence multiple disease-relevant processes, with the objective of achieving meaningful and sustained therapeutic impact.

 

Programme design emphasises biological coherence, translational relevance, and disciplined progression rather than isolated performance claims.

 

Focused on cardiometabolic indications

Initial development efforts are centred on cardiometabolic conditions where unmet medical need remains high and disease mechanisms overlap across vascular and metabolic tissues. This focus supports efficient knowledge transfer across programmes and a coherent long-term development strategy.

 

Disciplined advancement

Corvidane advances its programmes through structured preclinical development with a clear view towards regulated clinical pathways. Activities are designed to inform strategic decisions, manage development risk, and support long-term value creation.

Public communications intentionally reflect this discipline and do not disclose confidential development data.

 

Collaboration and partnership

Corvidane engages selectively with scientific and strategic partners aligned with its development philosophy. The company values collaborations grounded in scientific alignment, development rigour, and long-term value creation.

Persistent unmet needs in cardiovascular and metabolic disease

Atherosclerosis

Heart attack and stroke, the #1 and #2 global causes of death, are largely driven by atherosclerosis and together claim over 17 million lives each year — nearly one‑third of all deaths worldwide.

This burden is projected to rise to 23 million deaths annually by 2030.

Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatohepatitis

MASH is the leading cause of liver transplants in the US and affects 3%-5% of U.S. adults.

The incidence of MASH is projected to reach 7% by 2030, yet existing treatments do not adequately address residual cardiovascular risk or the complex pathology of MASH — particularly among people with type 2 diabetes, who account for 30–50% of cases.

Our Solution

An orally administered, multi-pathway therapeutic for Atherosclerosis  & MASH, CVMB-216 is a patented therapy that activates a spectrum of clinically validated targets.​

​

Key Advantages:​

A differentiated and monetisable therapeutic approach rooted in natural lipid signaling.

Corvidane is developing a differentiated therapeutic approach designed to address core disease drivers shared across cardiovascular and metabolic indications.

 

Rather than pursuing narrowly defined endpoints, the approach is intended to support broad clinical relevance, positioning the programme for use as a foundational therapy or as part of combination regimens as standards of care evolve.

 

This design philosophy supports multiple potential paths to value, including strategic partnerships across cardiometabolic indications where pharmaceutical companies continue to seek development-ready, de-risked assets compatible with existing and emerging therapies.

Comprehensive mechanisms of action spanning lipid metabolism, inflammation and fibrosis - the triad driving both CVD and MASH using a highly safe approach. 

Our completed preclinical studies show the remarkable safety that you would expect from a natural product and have already achieved significant risk reduction in the program. 

 

Our future preclinical work is structured to further support development decisions, achieve further risk reduction, and ensure future regulatory engagement, rather than isolated optimisation of individual metrics.

 

A focused strategy for complex cardiometabolic disease

Cardiometabolic diseases such as atherosclerosis and MASH arise from tightly interconnected disturbances in lipid handling, inflammation, and tissue remodeling. Despite extensive development activity, many therapeutic strategies address these processes in isolation, limiting their effectiveness in heterogeneous patient populations.

 

Corvidane’s approach is based on the premise that durable clinical benefit requires coordinated modulation of upstream biological drivers rather than narrow downstream intervention.

 

Integrated biological relevance

The company’s programmes are designed to engage convergent disease-relevant processes that sit at the intersection of vascular dysfunction, metabolic stress, and tissue injury. This integrated view reflects increasing recognition that cardiometabolic pathology is driven by network-level dysregulation rather than singular molecular defects.

 

Translational intent from inception

From inception, Corvidane’s development strategy has prioritised translational relevance. Programme design is informed by disease biology observed across vascular and metabolic contexts, with the objective of maintaining coherence between biological rationale and clinical applicability.

 

Preclinical work is structured to support development decisions, risk reduction, and future regulatory engagement rather than isolated optimisation of individual metrics.

 

Disciplined data stewardship

Corvidane maintains a clear separation between public scientific communication and confidential development data. Detailed experimental results, study designs, and quantitative outcomes are shared selectively with qualified partners under appropriate confidentiality frameworks.

 

This reflects both the competitive nature of early-stage therapeutic development and the company’s commitment to responsible data governance.

 

Path to regulated development

Programmes are being advanced with a view towards regulated clinical development in cardiometabolic disease indications. Ongoing activities focus on refining development hypotheses, establishing a robust translational package, and preparing for future engagement with regulatory authorities and strategic partners.

 

Partnership-oriented development

Corvidane is open to collaboration with pharmaceutical companies, academic groups, and strategic partners who share an interest in advancing differentiated approaches to cardiometabolic disease. Partnership discussions emphasize scientific alignment, development discipline, and long-term value creation.
