About aTyr Pharma
aTyr Pharma engages in the discovery and clinical development of innovative medicines for patients suffering from severe rare diseases using its knowledge of Physiocrine biology, a newly discovered set of physiological modulators. The Company's lead candidate, Resolaris, is a first-in-class intravenous protein therapeutic for the treatment of rare myopathies with an immune component (RMIC). Resolaris is currently in a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial in adult patients with FSHD, as well a Phase 1b/2 trial in adult patients with LGMD2B or FSHD.
