HOPO Therapeutics is a privately-held, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company leveraging its world-class expertise to develop treatments for heavy metal poisoning and to pioneer novel methods for directed radioisotope delivery. The company’s orally-available flagship drug candidate HOPO-101 is a heavy metal chelating agent positioned to become the best-in-class solution for significant unmet needs in lead poisoning and other forms of heavy metal toxicity, as well as nuclear and radiological threat readiness.
HOPO-101 has been well-tolerated in an ongoing Phase 1 safety study, and has shown superior pre-clinical efficacy compared to the standard-of-care medical countermeasure. Further development of our chelating agents into new delivery platforms for medical radioisotopes has yielded a pipeline of drug candidates with class-leading properties for targeted PET imaging and radioligand therapy.
