| Nature of Business | 1. Nature of Business Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing IKT-001 for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (“PAH”). The Company's lead product candidate, IKT-001, is a prodrug of imatinib mesylate (“imatinib”), for PAH which is an orphan indication for which the Company has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Imatinib was first approved in the United States in 2001 for various cancers and blood disorders and, following more than 20 years of clinical use, has a well-characterized safety profile with the first reported use of imatinib in PAH occurring in 2005. PAH is a progressive, life-threatening disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance that affects approximately 50,000 Americans. The Company has completed a non-human primate safety study and a bioequivalence clinical study in healthy volunteers to determine the doses of IKT-001 that are equivalent to imatinib. The Company's Phase 3 clinical study, named IMPROVE-PAH (IKT-001 for Measuring Pulmonary Vascular Resistance and Outcome Variables in a Phase 3 Evaluation of PAH), is a single pivotal global study, which is presently enrolling patients with 26 country regulatory approvals and 43 clinical sites activated to date, and 3 additional pending country regulatory approvals and 4 planned country regulatory submissions. |
