The company is headquartered in South San Francisco, California and currently employs 60 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2019-06-20. The firm is developing transformational treatments for patients with serious metabolic diseases marked by high unmet medical need, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a disease without any approved therapies. Efruxifermin (EFX), is its lead product candidate for MASH, which is being evaluated in the ongoing phase IIb SYMMETRY, phase III SYNCHRONY Histology, and phase III SYNCHRONY real-world studies.
