Kira Pharmaceuticals

Biotech & Life Sciences · Southern District, Hong Kong · Founded 2017

Working at the forefront of complement drug discovery and developing transformative therapies for people living with immune-mediated diseases MoreLess

Kira Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that aims to revolutionize the treatment of complement-mediated diseases. The company is named after a patient with complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G), a rare kidney disease. Complement-mediated diseases are conditions where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, leading to various health problems. These diseases can affect various areas such as dermatology and ophthalmology.

Kira Pharmaceuticals operates in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry, serving patients suffering from complement-mediated diseases. The company's business model revolves around the development of novel therapies using its proprietary LOGIC platform. This platform is designed to identify, optimize, and generate effective therapies for complement-mediated diseases.

The company has been successful in developing a pipeline of nine novel complement assets since its inception in 2017. These assets are focused on validated targets across the complement cascade, a complex series of reactions that are part of the body's immune response.

Despite the complexities and challenges associated with the complement system, Kira Pharmaceuticals, with its team of complement biology experts, drug developers, protein engineers, and industry leaders, is uniquely positioned to develop first-in-class and best-in-class therapies. These therapies have the potential to transform the lives of patients suffering from complement-mediated diseases.

Kira Pharmaceuticals generates revenue through the development and commercialization of its novel therapies. The company collaborates with top-tier research institutions in the US and Europe, leveraging its deep knowledge of complement biology and precise drug design to optimize assets for clinical success.
