Eledon is dedicated to “One Transplant For Life” to significantly improve both the longevity of the organ and the overall health and quality of life for transplant recipients so that a donor’s greatest gift will keep on giving.

Our lead compound is tegoprubart, an anti-CD40L antibody with broad therapeutic potential to regulate the drivers that can lead to the immune system attacking and rejecting transplanted organs.

Targeting a more successful transplant experience. For life.

A successful transplant is just the beginning. The current immunosuppressive therapies that keep a new organ working are essential, but over time they can take a toll, causing serious side effects like kidney damage, diabetes, high blood pressure, headaches, and tremors. For decades, this trade-off has gone largely unchallenged.

At Eledon, we believe it doesn’t have to be this way. We’re developing a next generation immunosuppression therapy designed to protect transplanted organs while reducing the lifelong burden of immunosuppression, so a transplant can mean not just more years, but better ones.

Kidney transplantation

For over 30 years, transplant immunosuppression has changed very little,and neither have transplant outcomes. Most transplanted kidneys still fail within 10 to 15 years, often because the very therapy meant to protect them gradually wears them down. Patients deserve options designed to reduce side effects of current immunosuppressive treatments as well as extend the functional life of a transplanted kidney, not shorten it.

Islet cell transplantation

For people with type 1 diabetes and severe, difficult-to-control blood sugars, islet cell transplantation offers the possibility of life without the constant threat of severe low blood sugar. But today it depends on calcineurin inhibitors, drugs that can potentially damage the very cells they're meant to protect as well as cause a new set of problems. A regimen that could shield an islet graft without that long-term burden wouldn't just be an improvement. It could be transformational.

At Eledon our mission is One Transplant for Life.

“There has been little innovation in immunomodulatory therapy for organ transplants since the approval of tacrolimus over 30 years ago. Organ transplant recipients deserve better. Targeting the CD40 Ligand pathway may provide significant advantages over current treatment options, including the ability to more effectively control immune response and increase transplant durability.”
