About us
At Kallyope, we focus on big health challenges that matter to patients and families. We aim to discover and develop effective, easy to use, and well-tolerated oral agents addressing metabolic, neurological, and gastrointestinal diseases. Inside every human body is a complex, unexplored network of metabolic, neurological, and gastrointestinal interconnections. Our scientists are unlocking the mysteries of this network to develop oral therapies for obesity and diabetes; neurological disorders, including migraine; and gastrointestinal disease, including celiac disease. Based in New York City, we are home to some of the world’s most intrepid scientific minds from the world’s top institutions, working alongside a seasoned team with a proven track record of success in drug discovery and development. Together, we are leveraging multiple sophisticated technologies and internally-developed capabilities to bring fundamentally new solutions to some of the most pressing unmet needs in human health.

Pleased to share that Kallyope is covered in The Wall Street Journal article on growth in the obesity market and biotech’s up-and-coming players. Brian Gormley's thoughtful reporting on new oral therapeutics features Kallyope in the section “Alternatives emerge,” noting the advancement of our two oral drugs, K-757 and K-833, in Phase 2 clinical trials, which aim to stimulate the release of appetite-suppressing hormones. Kallyope Chief Medical Officer Brett Lauring, M.D., Ph.D. says, “As the obesity-medications market matures, novel treatments will be needed.” READ MORE https://lnkd.in/gXcYQcS7 #type2diabetes #obesitytreatment #obesityprevention

Very pleased that Kallyope is the focus of a feature article by Biocentury Director of Biopharma Intelligence Stephen Hansen, “Translating bariatric surgery weight loss into a pill,” highlighting how our oral approach to treating #obesity differs from GLP-1 agonists. The piece provides insight into how we’ve developed the unique nutrient receptor agonists K-757 and K-833, currently in Phase 2 clinical trials, that aim to prolong plasma levels of GLP-1 and other gut hormones, with the potential effect of reducing appetite and improving glucose control.

Great panel discussion yesterday on #obesity treatments in development and the myriad issues around weight loss at The Next Frontier of the #LifeSciences virtual event, hosted by PharmaVoice and BioPharma Dive and featuring Kallyope Chief Medical Officer Brett Lauring, and fellow CMOs David Kendall, of Zealand Pharma and Ashish Nimgaonkar, of Glyscend Therapeutics. As Brett noted, it’s important to view obesity as a chronic disease that cannot be treated by one-size-fits-all interventions, and the role of companies like Kallyope is to introduce easy-to-use, affordable, and scalable therapies. #pharma #biotech #Type2Diabetes
