CR10049 (targeted kinase inhibitor for the inflammatory OA phenotype)
CR10049 is the lead of a series of small molecules with potent activity on undisclosed selected kinases that play a role in both OA pain (symptom-modifying) and inflammatory joint degeneration (structure-modifying). One such drug would be a major breakthrough in the treatment of the inflammatory OA phenotype.
