PlaqueTec is pursuing a better understanding of the biological mechanisms of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease to advance the development of precision medicine. Atherosclerotic disease causes plaque build-up that narrows or blocks the arteries that supply blood to the heart, brain and limbs, and is a leading cause of death globally. Current treatment approaches are largely one-size-fits-all and therefore ineffective for many patients. To address this, PlaqueTec has developed a proprietary technology and data analysis platform to endotype patients and uncover potential biomarkers of coronary vascular function and plaque progression. A more detailed understanding of patient endotypes will support drug development by identifying new targets in specific patient groups, reducing clinical trial sizes and costs, and increasing success rates, ultimately improving outcomes for patients.
