About Tvardi Therapeutics
Pharmaceutical Preparations, SIC 2834
Tvardi Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing oral, small molecule therapeutics targeting Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3). The firm develops treatments for inflammatory and proliferative diseases with significant unmet need driven by dysregulated STAT3 signaling. Its development pipeline centers on two investigational small molecules: TTI-101, a direct STAT3 inhibitor in clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and TTI-109, an oral phosphate prodrug engineered to enhance systemic delivery and tolerability. As a clinical-stage development enterprise without approved commercial products, the company does not currently sell directly to commercial end users or consumers.
Clinical development operations for its candidate molecules span medical trial centers across the United States, including a Phase 2 study conducted across 28 domestic trial sites. The provided text contains no mention of the company's corporate headquarters location or physical corporate facilities beyond these clinical trial locations.
