- Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP)
- Severe asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Addressing Unmet Medical Needs
The company's team is committed to maximizing verekitug's unique attributes to address substantial unmet needs for patients underserved by current standard of care treatments. The focus on severe respiratory disorders represents Upstream Bio (搜索)'s initial therapeutic area of concentration within the broader inflammatory disease space.
