Aramis Biosciences has launched following the completion of Series A financing totaling $10.5 million, according to a press release.

The company’s lead candidate, A197, is a first-in-class topical immunomodulatory agent for the treatment of dry eye disease. A197 is licensed from Dompé.

“Aramis Biosciences was founded to address this treatment gap with A197, a new molecular entity promising a rapid onset of action, a durable, disease-modifying effect and a clean tolerability profile,” Reza Dana, MD, MPH, MSc, scientific co-founder of Aramis Biosciences, said in the release.

The funding will support Aramis’ pipeline through a phase 2 clinical proof of concept trial for A197.
