Alcresta Revenue and Competitors

Alcresta Therapeutics is dedicated to developing and commercializing novel, enzyme-based products designed to address challenges faced by people living with gastrointestinal disorders and rare diseases. The company uses its proprietary technology platform to support a broad pipeline of products, with an initial focus on pancreatic insufficiency or fat malabsorption, which results in malabsorption common in cystic fibrosis, digestive cancers, preterm birth, and other serious diseases. The company's lead product, RELiZORB®, is designed to reliably and efficiently deliver the optimal nutritional and caloric benefit from existing enteral feeding formulas by improving the breakdown and absorption of fats, in particular long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids like omega-3 (including DHA, EPA). RELiZORB is indicated for use in pediatric patients (ages 5 years and above) and adult patients to hydrolyze fats in enteral formula. The company's platform is supported by our extensive experience in pharmaceutical, medical device and nutritional product development. Based in Massachusetts, the company is backed by top-tier venture investors Athyrium Capital Management, Bessemer Venture Partners, Frazier Healthcare, and Third Rock Ventures.
