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.

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).
