Overview
Company Summary
Savara Inc. is a pharmaceutical company that focuses on developing and commercializing novel therapies for rare respiratory diseases. The company specializes in developing innovative solutions to address unmet medical needs in pulmonary diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP).
Savara's primary therapeutic focus is on AeroVanc, an inhaled version of an antibiotic called vancomycin, specifically designed for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pulmonary infection in patients with CF. MRSA infections can be challenging to treat, especially in individuals with compromised lung function, and AeroVanc aims to provide a targeted and more effective approach for these patients.
Additionally, Savara is also involved in the development of other potential therapies, including Molgradex, which is being investigated as a treatment for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP), a rare lung disorder causing the buildup of protein and lipid substances in the lungs. Molgradex is a recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor agonist, and Savara is conducting clinical trials to evaluate its safety and efficacy for aPAP patients.
Savara Inc. is committed to advancing the development of these innovative therapies and improving the lives of individuals suffering from rare respiratory diseases. By focusing on niche markets, the company aims to provide targeted treatments to patients with unmet medical needs, ultimately making a positive impact in the field of respiratory medicine.
