Description: Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that has helped to drive the gluten-free food craze, can carry serious complications. There’s no treatment for the disease, which afflicts an estimated 2.4 million people in the United States. PvP Biologics is taking a unique approach to treating celiac disease with its Kumamax, a synthetic enzyme that degrades the parts of gluten that trigger an immune response. We spoke to Adam Simpson, president and CEO of PvP Therapeutics, about the interesting history behind Kumamax, how it works, and why it will be the only drug PvP ever develops.
