About Halia Therapeutics, Inc.
Halia Therapeutics is transforming the treatment landscape for chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases with a pipeline of groundbreaking therapeutics. The company’s programs target NEK7 and LRRK2, key drivers of inflammation and cellular dysfunction. Halia’s lead candidate, HT-6184—a novel NEK7/NLRP3 inhibitor—has demonstrated safety and tolerability in Phase I trials (NCT05447546) with single and multiple escalating oral doses in healthy volunteers. It is now being evaluated in two Phase II studies: one assessing its efficacy in treating lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) and another exploring its role in mitigating post-procedural inflammation and pain (NCT06241742). Halia recently initiated a Phase I trial for HT-4253, an innovative LRRK2 inhibitor targeting neurodegenerative diseases, in healthy volunteers (NCT06537817).
