Knoa Pharma is a public health–focused pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative, small molecule therapeutics that address significant unmet medical needs. We also seek to expand access to lifesaving opioid overdose reversal medications and affordable treatment for opioid use disorder at no profit. We have a promising pipeline of novel compounds currently in clinical trials across multiple therapeutic areas. Sunobinop, an orally active nociceptin agonist, is being investigated in CNS disorders such as insomnia and alcohol use disorder, as well as the urologic conditions overactive bladder and interstitial cystitis. In oncology, Knoa is advancing tinostamustine, a dual acting DNA alkylator and pan-HDAC inhibitor designed to treat highly challenging diseases, including glioblastoma and a hematological and solid tumors. Tinostamustine was recently granted Orphan Drug status for the treatment of gliomas and has begun enrolling patients in the Phase 2/3 GBM AGILE trial.
