Melius Pharma is a Swedish company founded in 2021 focused on the development of new treatments for interstitial lung diseases.

The company’s lead project for chronic cough in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is set to enter a Phase IIa clinical proof of concept study. Chronic cough is a serious symptom in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis that severely affects the quality of life in patients suffering from this disease. Median survival for patients after diagnosis is 3–5 years with current treatments according to the company.

Melius Pharma says its drug candidate is a new chemical entity benefiting from more than 20 years of safety data in man as well as efficacy data from both clinical and preclinical cough studies.

The company is backed by investors including Linc AB and Fåhraeus Startup and Growth Fund.
