Its lead product candidate, SL-325, is a monoclonal antibody that is designed to bind to death receptor 3 (DR3) and inhibit its interaction with its ligand, TL1A.

The firm is conducting a Phase I clinical trial in healthy volunteers. In addition, the Company is also developing SL-425, a half-life extended version of SL-325. The company is also developing multiple preclinical DR3-based bispecific antibodies, which are designed to inhibit both the DR3/TL1A axis and another biologically relevant target for the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
