Description

Orphazyme was founded in Denmark in 2009 on a scientific discovery about the role of heat shock proteins (HSPs), which was described in a well-cited article published in the journal Nature. We translated this scientific discovery into late-stage clinical trials of our investigational drug candidate, arimoclomol, with the aim of developing new treatment options for people with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Niemann-Pick disease type-C (NPC). In May 2022, substantially all of Orphazyme’s assets and business activities, including those relating to the development and approval of arimoclomol, were sold to KemPharm Denmark A/S, a wholly owned subsidiary of KemPharm, Inc.
