Description
Theratechnologies is a Canadian technology company engaged in the discovery and development of therapeutic products in the fields of endocrinology and metabolism. The company has and is developing a portfolio of peptides at various stages of development for the treatment of catabolic and metabolic disorders, as well as osteoporosis and type II diabetes.
Products / Services
The Company currently holds three major products targeting multi-billion dollar markets: The first stabilized peptide developed by Theratechnologies over the last years is ThGRF (TH9507), a growth hormone-releasing factor analogue for which scientific results have shown potential in a variety of catabolic and metabolic indications. ThPTH or parathormone is a hormone which has the ability to promote bone formation, potentially reducing by a significant margin the incidence of fractures in people suffering from osteoporosis. ThGLP-1 or glucagon-like peptide-1 could be one of the most promising emerging therapy for type II diabetes since the discovery of insulin. Theratechnologies also owns a rich portfolio of peptides derived from the LAP (Long Acting Peptide) and ExoPep technologies.
Technology / Differentiation
The company's current development programs target growth hormone replacement, osteoporosis and diabetes. The most advanced of these is ThGRF, a stabilized analogue of a natural peptide known as growth hormone-releasing factor. ThPTH is a transdermal formulation of parathyroid hormone for the treatment of osteoporosis and ThGLP-1 is a stabilized analogue of GLP-1, a multi-active hormone for diabetes.
