Nyrada Inc.

Nyrada Inc. is a preclinical stage, drug development company specializing in small molecule drugs to treat cardiovascular and neurological diseases. The Company's two lead programs are focused on cholesterol-lowering and brain injury. These programs are developing an oral, small molecule cholesterol-lowering drug, and a drug to reduce secondary brain damage following a stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Its Cholesterol-Lowering Program is an oral PCSK9 inhibitor for the treatment of high blood LDL-cholesterol levels in patients poorly responsive to or unable to take statin drugs. Its Brain Injury Program is developing a drug to block secondary brain damage that occurs following a stroke or TBI, such as severe head trauma from contact sports, a fall, or a motor vehicle accident. The Brain Injury Program is a neuroprotectant drug to reduce the impact of long-term disability in patients who suffer a traumatic brain injury or ischemic stroke. It is also developing new therapies.
