FDA grants Orphan Drug Designation for #VS01 for the treatment of #hyperammonemia in Inborn Errors of Metabolism. This second #ODD from FDA is a significant milestone for the development of VS-01 and a strong recognition of its clinical potential.

Today is #WorldHepatitisDay! With a person dying every 30s from a hepatitis-related illness and over 350M people living with it globally, we must raise awareness now. Hepatitis is the primary underlying disease of #ACLF, an underserved syndrome we can’t wait to support with #VS01
Sadly, England witnessed a staggering 21% surge in alcohol-related death in pandemic year. @LiverTrust says "We need urgent actions to avoid a liver disease epidemic in the future". #VS01 aims to support these patients by reversing cirrhosis complications. theguardian.com/society/2021…

Complications of having a urea cycle disorder:
When a person has too much ammonia in their blood (hyperammonemia), it can cause them to have a serious complication called a hyperammonemic crisis.

Why are #UCD and neonatal #hyperammonemia so hard to control? Great summary added to @RaremarkHealth knowledge bank. Delayed diagnosis and access to emergency treatments increase risks of long-lasting brain damages. We aim to solve this situation with #VS01.
Why are urea cycle disorders (UCDs) so hard to control?
UCDs are complex. Their main complication is #hyperammonemia, which means that high levels of ammonia are in your blood. Find out more in our article. #UCD #OTCD raremark.com/urea-cycle-diso…
Hi Leo! We'd like to officially welcome Leo Hofmann to the @VersantisAG team. Leo brings a wealth of pharmaceutical technology expertise to support the development of our pipeline products and R&D projects. We are excited to have him on board!
Today marks International #NASHday. NASH is a life-threatening liver disease rapidly becoming the dominant driver for #cirrhosis and liver transplantations. At Versantis, we aim to reverse multi-organ complications of cirrhosis with #VS01, our first-line liposome-based therapy.
Excited to attend #BIODigital next week. Join us to see our fresh clinical data and understand how we can transform the care of #liverdiseases! Interested in hearing more? Contact us on [email protected].
