Another program is Ataciguat, an investigational oral, once-daily soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activator aimed at slowing the progression of calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS).

The company also operates Prolaio, a proprietary data and analytics platform that utilizes wearable sensors and AI-driven analytics to support clinical trials and digital clinical endpoints.
