About Kalytera Therapeutics
Kalytera Therapeutics, Inc. ("Kalytera") is pioneering the development of a next generation of
cannabinoid therapeutics. Through its proven leadership, drug development expertise, and intellectual property portfolio, Kalytera
seeks to establish a leading position in the development of novel cannabinoid medicines for a range of important unmet medical
needs, with an initial focus on graft versus host disease (“GVHD”).
Kalytera also intends to develop a new class of proprietary cannabidiol ("CBD") therapeutics.
CBD is a versatile compound that has shown activity against a number of pharmacological targets. However, there are limitations
associated with natural CBD, including its poor oral bioavailability. Kalytera will seek to develop innovative CBD formulations and
prodrugs in an effort to overcome these limitations, and to target specific disease sites within the body. Kalytera intends to file
composition of matter and method of use patents covering its novel inventions, with the goal of limiting future competition.
