Diseases and Conditions

The nonclinical drug candidates that Akros Pharma takes into clinical development come out of the research conducted by the Central Pharmaceutical Research Institute (CPRI) of JT Pharmaceuticals in Osaka, Japan. The current development focus for Akros reflects the research focus at CPRI.

Currently, CPRI and Akros are working to develop new therapeutics for the following disease states:
