Resolve Therapeutics is a privately held biotechnology company based in Seattle that is dedicated to helping patients with lupus through the development of RSLV-132, its novel targeted biologic therapy. RSLV-132 represents a new approach to inhibiting the production of interferon-alpha at a proximal step in the inflammatory cascade. A multitude of evidence points to interferon-alpha as a critical mediator of the inflammation present in lupus patients. Development efforts in this field are greatly enhanced by the recent clinical validation of a biomarker called the 'interferon signature' which tracks the activation level of the interferon pathway in lupus patients. The interferon signature provides a valuable pharmacodynamic endpoint which greatly enhances the early clinical evaluation of drugs acting to inhibit the interferon pathway. RSLV-132 is currently in advanced preclinical development, and Resolve expects to begin human clinical studies with this compound in the near future.
