The evolution and discovery of pegtarazimod

2008

Human astrovirus causes gastroenteritis without triggering a significant inflammatory response—an uncommon feature among viral infections.

2018

Investigation of this phenomenon identified a short peptide sequence responsible for immune regulation, with dual activity as a complement modulator and an inhibitor of MPO and NETosis, key drivers of inflammation.

2021

This discovery led to the development of pegtarazimod, which is now advancing through multiple clinical studies. ReAlta is redefining inflammation with this singular, dual-action compound that inhibits both complement and neutrophil-driven pathologies, creating a platform with uniquely broad and durable therapeutic potential.

ReAlta is guided by its core values
