aTyr Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIFE) is at the forefront of the discovery and clinical development of pioneering medicines targeting severe, rare diseases. Leveraging unique insights into physiocrine biology, a newly identified group of physiological modulators, aTyr aims to deliver breakthrough treatments to patients in need.
The company's flagship candidate, resolaris™, is a first-in-class intravenous protein therapeutic designed to address rare myopathies with an immune component. Resolaris™ is undergoing a series of Phase 1b/2 clinical trials, including trials for adult patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2B or FSHD, and patients with an early onset form of FSHD.
aTyr Pharma holds a substantial intellectual property portfolio, featuring 70 issued or allowed patents and over 240 pending patent applications, all of which are solely owned or exclusively licensed by the company. This robust IP estate underpins their strategic focus on severe, rare diseases characterized by immune dysregulation.
One of the company’s notable recent achievements includes the development of efzofitimod, a first-in-class NRP2-targeting immunomodulator. Preclinical models have demonstrated that efzofitimod has significant immune regulatory functions, improving disease outcomes and mitigating fibrosis, particularly in rheumatoid arthritis and associated lung fibrosis.
In addition to its innovative drug pipeline, aTyr Pharma has bolstered its leadership and expertise by enlisting Dr. Frederick to guide corporate affairs and commercial strategies for efzofitimod in interstitial lung disease (ILD).

aTyr Pharma has announced promising preclinical findings regarding its monoclonal antibody, ATYR2810, showcased at the 2023 AACR Annual Meeting. This antibody targets neuropilin-2 (NRP2) and VEGF-C, showing significant inhibition of tumor growth in models of aggressive cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Notably, ATYR2810, both alone and in combination with chemotherapy, exhibited enhanced sensitivity to treatment. These results highlight its potential to combat therapy resistance, a critical concern in aggressive cancer types.
The ongoing research emphasizes the role of high levels of VEGF-C in promoting therapy resistance, and ATYR2810's unique mechanism could offer a differentiated approach to treating such cancers. The poster presentation on this innovative therapy is scheduled for April 17, 2023, during the conference in Orlando, FL.
aTyr Pharma, a biotherapeutics company, has published a review in the journal Sarcoidosis, Vasculitis and Diffuse Lung Diseases highlighting efzofitimod as a first-in-class biologic with significant anti-inflammatory properties for treating pulmonary sarcoidosis. The study discusses efzofitimod's mechanism involving neuropilin-2, showcasing preclinical and clinical data supporting its efficacy. Dr. Robert Baughman emphasized the drug's potential to reduce long-term steroid use and improve patient quality of life. The company is currently enrolling patients in the Phase 3 EFZO-FIT™ study, marking a crucial step in developing treatments for this serious lung condition.
aTyr Pharma (Nasdaq: LIFE) announced significant findings regarding ATYR0101, a potential therapeutic biologic targeting fibrotic diseases. Dr. Leslie A. Nangle will present research at the Keystone Symposia on Fibrosis Pathogenesis from March 19-23, 2023, in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The study reveals that ATYR0101 binds with LTBP1, a crucial protein involved in the transformation of growth factor beta (TGF-β), indicating its role in extracellular signaling and fibrotic processes. This discovery may lead to new therapeutic avenues for treating fibrotic pathologies, emphasizing the importance of ongoing research in this area.
aTyr Pharma (Nasdaq: LIFE) and the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research will hold a Virtual Town Hall on March 25, 2023, at 12:00pm ET to discuss treatments for sarcoidosis, focusing on transitioning from steroids to new therapies.
