The clinical-stage company’s lead target is dotinurad, which is a once-daily oral URAT1 inhibitor designed to treat gout – a painful inflammatory condition affecting millions globally.
The funds will fuel Crystalys’ clinical development program.
This includes two ongoing Phase III registration-directed trials named RUBY and Topaz (NCT07089875) and a Phase II study named AMETHYST (NCT07535034).
The trials are designed to evaluate dotinurad across a spectrum of gout patients, including those with limited treatment options who represent a significant unmet medical need.
