BioAge Labs Inc (BIOA) USD0.00001

BioAge Labs, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases, such as obesity, by targeting the biology of human aging. Its lead product candidate, azelaprag, is an orally available small molecule agonist of the apelin receptor (APJ) that was observed to promote metabolism and prevent muscle atrophy during bed rest in a Phase Ib clinical trial. It has initiated a Phase II trial of azelaprag in combination with tirzepatide for the treatment of obesity in older adults. Azelaprag has the potential as an oral regimen to reduce weight loss and improve body composition in patients on obesity therapy with incretin drugs. It is also developing orally available small molecule brain penetrant NLRP3 inhibitors for the treatment of diseases driven by neuroinflammation. Its preclinical programs, based on novel insights from the Company’s discovery platform built on human longevity data, address key pathways in metabolic aging.
