About this trial

Sovateltide (PMZ-1620; IRL-1620) is targeted to be used as a "Treatment for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in neonates," which is a life-threatening condition. Sovateltide augments neuronal progenitor cell differentiation and better mitochondrial morphology and biogenesis to activate a regenerative response in the central nervous system. The only treatment for HIE is therapeutic hypothermia with limited success, and studies indicate that sovateltide may be beneficial in these patients.
