About BELLUS Health (www.bellushealth.com)
BELLUS Health is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of RCC and other
hypersensitization-related disorders. The Company's product
candidate, BLU-5937, is being developed for the treatment of RCC
and chronic pruritus associated with AD.
RCC is a cough lasting more than 8 weeks despite appropriate
treatment for underlying condition(s). It is estimated that there
are approximately 9 million patients in the United States suffering
from RCC. RCC is associated with significant adverse physical,
social, and psychosocial effects on health and quality of life.
Currently, there is no specific therapy approved for RCC and
current treatment options are limited.
Chronic pruritus associated with AD is an irritating sensation
that leads to scratching and persists for longer than 6 weeks in AD
patients. It is estimated that up to 10% of adults in the United
States suffer from AD – almost all report symptoms of pruritus with
over 50% of patients attributing chronic pruritus as their most
burdensome symptom. Despite currently available treatments
targeting AD, there continues to be a lack of options targeting the
burden of pruritus in patients with AD.
