About Aphaia Pharma
Aphaia Pharma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company harnessing proprietary precision-targeted drug formulations to restore endogenous hormone release from nutrient-sensing cells in the gastrointestinal tract to treat and prevent metabolic disorders such as obesity and associated diseases. Aphaia’s lead oral candidate, an oral glucose formulation, has been shown to safely restore endogenous hormone release in individuals with obesity. A recently completed Phase 2 trial provided proof-of-concept for its clinical efficacy, demonstrating that the formulation improves glucose tolerance in individuals with prediabetes.
