We have, by a wide margin, the safest and most effective nocturia drug. Nocturia leads to over 10,000 deaths per day and costs the US economy $215B/year in lost worktime and lower productivity. We have the only drug that treats low bladder capacity, which is an issue for 76% of nocturia sufferers. Our clinical trial results were 5x better than the first FDA approved nocturia drug and 2.5x better than the other FDA approved nocturia drug, both of which carry a black warning about a dangerous blood disorder and have other side effects. Of course these drugs treat polyuria rather than low bladder capacity, so they are not competitors for our drug.

General manager assistantZY Therapeutics Inc.
ZY Therapeutics Inc. is a venture backed startup company focusing on developing innovative precision drug delivery technology. It was founded by two scientists in 2015 in North Carolina. In 2017, ZY’s leading project won collaboration award from Nanotechnology Characterization Lab (NCL), part of national lab established by FDA, NCI and NIST in a concerted effort to regulate and support nanotechnology in oncology space. ZY’s proprietary delivery platforms currently focus on optimized injectable formulations to deliver oncology therapy to the action sites. The first biodegradable oncology nano-formulation, ZY-010-PNP, completed Pre-IND discussion with the FDA and agreement on 505b(2) regulatory pathway was achieved. Further, the isotope labeling human plasma In vitro study as well as canine pharmacokinetic study conducted by NCL suggest a unique drug releasing profile in comparison to the benchmark brands suggesting enhanced the therapeutic effect with lower safety concern. An IND was filed with favorable responses of communication from FDA were received in 2018 and 2020. The active targeting delivery nanomedicine ZY-012-CNP for prostate cancer is in preclinic development and scheduled to file Pre-IND application in Q2 2021. Additional products are in encapsulation feasibility studies. The target indications cover majority of solid tumors, including but not limited to TNBC, Ovarian Cancer and mCPRC, of which xenograft in vivo models have proved the drug efficacy. On the same platform, additional active drugs with solubility and / or acute toxicity issues were successfully formulated to greatly improve delivery efficacy and safety.
