About Us

Enterprise Therapeutics

Enterprise Therapeutics is a drug discovery company dedicated to the research and development of novel therapies for the treatment of respiratory diseases. The company is backed by top tier venture capital investors and is based in the UK with offices at the University of Sussex Innovation Centre and in Blackfriars, London.

In diseases such as cystic fibrosis, asthma and COPD the lungs become congested with mucus leading to difficulty in breathing. Enterprise Therapeutics’ scientific strategy is aimed at discovering new disease modifying therapies that target the underlying mechanisms of mucus congestion, which will reduce the frequency of lung infections and improve patient quality of life.

These novel muco-regulatory therapies are being achieved through targeting ion channels such as ENaC to increase the hydration and clearance of mucus. Enterprise has also identified novel targets and compounds that reduce mucus production, an approach that compliments mucus hydration therapies.

Its proven management team has significant expertise in drug discovery, drug development, respiratory biology and ion channel pharmacology.

About Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

CF is the most common lethal genetic disease of Caucasians with an estimated 100,000 patients worldwide. The average life expectancy, although improving, is approximately 50 years.

About Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

COPD is a chronic disease characterised by a progressive and irreversible decrease in lung function. Globally, COPD is reported to affect over 300 million people and in 2012 was the world’s third highest killer. The estimated economic cost of COPD is >$2 trillion.

About Severe Asthma

Patients with severe asthma are either refractory or poorly managed by current therapies (bronchodilators, steroids). Severe asthma patients comprise around 5% of the estimated 300 million global asthma patients.

Enterprise is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research and development of novel therapies for the treatment of respiratory diseases of high unmet medical need and commercial opportunity – the company plans to initiate clinical trials in 2020.

Scientific Strategy

Enterprise is developing muco-regulatory drugs that are expected to help respiratory patients by improving their ability to breath and reduce the number of lung infections they experience leading to a longer and more healthy life.
