Company Profile

I-Cordis LLC has developed a immunomodulatory molecule to prevent and treat heart failure. The firm was spun out of Washington University research on immunomodulatory molecules that were both known to be safe in humans and proven to have cardioprotective effects in order to identify novel targets and tools to treat heart failure. This research effort led to both the identification of B lymphocytes as an innovative target to modulate the immune response in heart failure and to the identification of Pirfenidone as an ideal starting point to develop a safe and effective drug for this patient population.
