DalCor Pharmaceuticals

Series B in 2016
DalCor Pharmaceuticals specializes in precision medicine aimed at treating cardiovascular diseases by tailoring therapies to individual patients based on their genetic profiles. The company's primary product, dalcetrapib, is a cholesterol ester transfer protein inhibitor designed to mitigate residual cardiovascular risk in patients with a specific ADCY9 genetic profile. This approach is supported by pharmacogenomic research indicating that patients with acute coronary syndrome who possess a particular genetic variant experience a significant reduction in cardiovascular events when treated with dalcetrapib compared to placebo. Founded in 2015, DalCor has established its headquarters in Montreal, Canada, with additional offices in Sarasota, Florida; Zug, Switzerland; and Leatherhead, United Kingdom. The company has secured exclusive worldwide rights to dalcetrapib and the associated ADCY9 genetic marker from Roche, allowing it to focus on enhancing treatment outcomes for genetically targeted patients.
