Corporate presentation summary
16 Mar, 2026Transformative therapies for preeclampsia and stroke
DM199, a recombinant human KLK1 protein, is in late-stage development for preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction (FGR), and acute ischemic stroke (AIS), targeting large unmet needs in $5B+ and $10B+ U.S. markets respectively.
No FDA-approved disease-modifying therapies exist for preeclampsia or FGR; current treatments are limited to symptom management and early delivery, which increases neonatal morbidity and costs.
DM199’s mechanism increases placental blood flow, reduces blood pressure, and repairs endothelial dysfunction, with a favorable safety profile and no placental transfer observed.
Interim phase 2 results in preeclampsia show significant reductions in blood pressure and uterine artery resistance, suggesting improved placental perfusion and potential to safely extend gestation.
DM199 is also being evaluated in a pivotal phase 2/3 trial for AIS, aiming to improve collateral circulation and outcomes in patients not eligible for current first-line therapies.
Clinical development and results
Over 300 patients have been dosed with DM199 across multiple studies, demonstrating general safety and tolerability in both IV and SC formulations.
In preeclampsia phase 2 trials, DM199 was not detected in umbilical cord blood, indicating no placental crossing, and showed significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Uterine artery Doppler studies revealed a 13.2% reduction in blood flow resistance post-infusion, supporting enhanced placental perfusion.
In AIS, phase 2 data showed improved functional outcomes (mRS ≤1 at 90 days) in non-mechanical thrombectomy patients, with a treatment window up to 24 hours, five times longer than tPA.
Human urinary KLK1 (HUK), a related therapy, is widely used in China for AIS, supporting the rationale for DM199’s development and dosing.
Intellectual property, financials, and leadership
DM199 benefits from strong IP protection, with patents extending to 2039 (plus potential 5-year extension) and anticipated 12 years of regulatory exclusivity in the U.S.
Manufacturing challenges have been overcome, enabling scalable production and trade secret protection for key processes.
As of September 30, 2025, the company holds $67M in cash, providing runway into the second half of 2027, with no warrants or debt.
The leadership team and board bring extensive experience in drug development, commercialization, and regulatory affairs, including prior roles at major biopharma companies and successful product launches.
