Z Factor
Developing Phase 1 and preclinical stage folding correctors for Z-variant of alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT),
to treat both liver and lung disease manifestations of A1AT deficiency
Mission
Develop a potent and specific catalytic
folding corrector of Z-A1AT to increase
serum levels and reduce liver burden to
treat liver and lung disease
manifestations of A1AT deficiency
De-risking data
ZF874 increased levels of active Z-A1AT in
the blood and improved markers of liver
pathology in Piz mice
Seven cohorts of healthy volunteers
successfully dosed up to 50mg/kg of ZF874
with excellent oral bioavailability and all
doses well tolerated except for transient
apparent Cmax effect at 50mg/kg in fasted
state
ZFactor
Market opportunity
Estimated prevalence of 200,000 Pizz
individuals worldwide
PiMZ prevalence of 42.4 million
individuals and observed in large subset of
COPD and NASH populations
