About EnliTISA

EnliTISA’s vision is to improve the lives of patients with inflammatory and fibrotic diseases through the discovery and development of breakthrough therapies.


EnliTISA is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapeutics with a primary focus on inflammatory and fibrotic conditions with unmet medical needs.

 

EnliTISA, based in Shanghai, China, was founded by Chinese and Swedish team members in 2021, and is focusing on anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis multi-innovative drug development. The Chinese-Swedish team collaborates on pre-clinical and clinical development of drugs in China, Europe and the US.

All projects in the pipeline are based on the inventions made by the EnliTISA team. By now, twelve patent applications have been filed and two patents in China and one in US have been granted.

Two projects are in clinical trial stage: 

TISA-818, a new chemical entity, is intended to be used for the treatment of Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), and for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

A Phase I study in healthy volunteers conducted in China is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

A Phase II study in patients with  ARDS is planned to start in H1-2023 to start in May, 2023.

In H2-2023 the plan is to start a phase 1 trial in Europe.

 

Montelukast sodium topical sterile gel for anorectal surgery and radiation proctitis. 

 

The rights to mainland China has been licensed to Shanghai Pharma.

A Phase I study in healthy volunteers has been completed. Phase II studies in the two indications are planning to start in H2-2023.

 

Ultimately, we aim to develop EnliTISA into a fully integrated pharmaceutical company by retaining commercial rights to our programs in China. For this purpose, we join forces with pharmaceutical companies in order to create strategic co-development alliances.

By now, three out-licensing deals of Chinese territory have been done with Shanghai Pharma. Four projects are planning for out-licensing in Europe, US and Asia, in 2023 and 2024.
