Reversing fibrosis at scale in Steatotic Liver Disease.

Steatotic Liver Disease

KRIYA.497 is a one-time inves­ti­ga­tion­al gene therapy designed to express native FGF21, with a goal of reversing fibrosis and steatosis as well as improving the overall metabolic profile in patients with steatotic liver disease.

Steatotic liver disease is a progressive condition in which excess fat builds up in the liver, driving inflam­ma­tion and fibrosis over time. As it advances, healthy liver tissue is gradually replaced by scarring, which can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. It is one of the most common reasons for liver trans­plan­ta­tion in the U.S.

KRIYA.497
How it works

The patho­phys­i­ol­o­gy of steatotic liver disease is driven by metabolic dysfunction; processes FGF21 helps regulate. KRIYA.497 is designed to express the native human form of the FGF21 protein in a steady and continuous manner. The goal is to achieve long-lasting and stable levels of FGF21 for engagement in FGF21-responsive tissues that can reverse fibrosis in the liver.
