Fortuity Pharma LTD

Fortuity Pharma is a public-benefit corporation dedicated to developing effective and affordable therapies for rare diseases. By repurposing existing drugs and nutraceuticals, they aim to address unmet medical needs in the rare disease community, and make therapies accessible to those who need them most.

Their primary focus is repurposing amlexanox, an anti-inflammatory drug that has been used for a variety of conditions, including asthma and diabetes. With a proven safety profile and low production costs, amlexanox has shown success in preclinical studies for genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Aspartylglucosaminuria, and epidermolysis bullosa; in order to bring amlexanox back to market, they are working towards FDA approval with orphan drug designation to ensure this treatment is available to the rare disease community at an affordable cost.
