Mirum Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MIRM) is dedicated to creating life-changing therapies for patients with liver diseases. We are advancing our lead product candidate for Alagille syndrome (ALGS) and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) — conditions with a profound and devastating impact on quality of life for young patients and their families. Untreated, these conditions can lead to liver failure and inflict life-altering symptoms including stunted growth and severe, non-stop itching. Under current standard of care, patients often require a liver transplant and are at higher risk of many serious health issues. Working closely with patients and caregiver communities, we intimately understand the challenges of living with cholestatic liver diseases. Based on a wealth of data from clinical trials spanning multiple years and involving more than one hundred patients, we believe our approach can address the underlying cause of symptoms and liver damage. Our goal is to give families their lives back.
Milestone was founded in 2005 with the underlying concept to base its drug development programs on clinically validated mechanisms of action in order to mitigate as much drug development risk as possible. The company has raised a total of $34 million in venture capital financing since 2006. At its founding, the company assembled a panel of leading pharmaceutical R&D executives (“drug hunters”) each with an average of 30 years experience in drug development. The drug hunters proposed NCE projects based on clinically proven science to form the basis of Milestone’s drug development programs. Milestone has a seasoned management team with experience in cardiovascular diseases, drug development and business start-ups as well as world-class advisory boards of key opinion leaders with significant expertise in cardiology, regulatory affairs, as well as formulation and drug development.
