Accelerating Clinical Progress in Fibrosis

We are currently advancing first-in-class antibodies in clinical studies to address fibrosis in several indications including those in lung (IPF), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and kidney fibrosis. Our foundational and robust science supports future expansion opportunities into other indications, which could include hepatic, renal, and cardiac fibrosis.

WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein-1 (WISP1) is a secreted matricellular protein shown to have a relevant role in fibrosis progression, making the protein a compelling target for anti-fibrosis therapeutics. MTX-463 is a first-in-class human IgG1 antibody designed to neutralize the WISP1-mediated fibrotic signaling that spans several fibrotic indications, including those in the lung and liver. A Phase 2 study of MTX-463 in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is now recruiting (NCT06967805) and more information can be found at: wispertrial.com

EphrinB2 mediates biological processes involved in tissue fibrosis including cell migration, myofibroblast activation, and tissue remodeling. A growing body of evidence has implicated EphrinB2 in the fibrosis of the skin, lungs, and heart. MTX-474 is a first-in-class human IgG1 antibody designed to neutralize the EphrinB2 signaling that causes the onset and progression of fibrosis. A global Phase 2 study of MTX-474 in patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is now recruiting (NCT07287670) and more information can be found at encompassctrial.com

SMOC2 is a secreted matricellular protein that promotes extracellular matrix assembly, cell adhesion and kidney fibrosis. Furthermore, in human studies across fibrotic indications, SMOC2 expression levels correlate with disease severity and/or outcomes. Mediar has completed IND enabling studies and expected to start Ph-1 studies in H1-2026 in healthy volunteers and CKD patients with fibrosis.

Mediar is advancing novel bi-specific programs to further unlock validated mechanisms with our novel anti-fibrotic portfolio. We are currently advancing two bi-specific programs in Oncology & IBD indications, and considering other pairings with our first-in-class antibodies.
