Company Profile

We are a clinical-​stage biophar­ma­ceu­tical company focused on the devel­opment of Aramchol^™, liver-​targeted stearoyl-​coenzyme A desaturase‑1 (“SCD1ˮ) modulator, a first in class, novel, once-​daily, oral therapy for the treatment of NASH (Non-​alcoholic Steatohepatitis).

We believe that our product candidate, Aramchol^™, has the potential to be a disease modifying treatment for fatty liver disorders, including NASH, which is a chronic disease that consti­tutes a large unmet medical need.
