FAQ
- What is LSALT peptide and what does it target?
- LSALT (Met-Arg-Trp, also called AB-001) is a synthetic tripeptide that inhibits dipeptidase-1 (DPEP-1), a GPI-anchored ectoenzyme on kidney peritubular capillaries and activated neutrophils that mediates neutrophil adhesion in ischemia-reperfusion injury.
- How does blocking DPEP-1 prevent CSA-AKI?
- By inhibiting DPEP-1 on inflamed endothelium, LSALT reduces neutrophil rolling, adhesion, and transmigration into the renal interstitium, limiting the inflammatory cascade that damages tubular epithelial cells after cardiopulmonary bypass.
- Why is central IRB approval a milestone for this trial?
- Central IRB approval means a single ethics review covers all participating U.S. sites, removing the site-by-site bottleneck that had been slowing U.S. activation of Arch's Phase II CSA-AKI trial of LSALT peptide.
