The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $2,045,782 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Endomet Biosciences, Inc., a woman-owned small business located in Irvine, California. The grant aims to develop ENDO-205, a novel, non-hormonal therapeutic for the treatment of endometriosis, a prevalent and debilitating gynecological condition affecting approximately 10% of women worldwide. The project will advance ENDO-205 through manufacturing, stability testing, nonclinical assessments, and preparations for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application and Phase 1 clinical trials. If successful, this project could provide women suffering from endometriosis with a new, tolerable, and potentially curative treatment option that addresses the root causes of the disease.
