About MIV-711
MIV-711 is a potent and selective inhibitor of cathepsin K, the main protease involved in breaking down collagen in bone and cartilage. It has been shown to slow, stop or reverse the progressive degeneration of joints affected by osteoarthritis. By inhibiting cathepsin K and increased/excessive osteoclast activity, MIV-711 has the potential to counteract the excessive bone breakdown seen in patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease). MIV-711 restores the balance between the breakdown of bone with mutated collagen and the formation of new bone with the aim of preventing fractures and bone deformities.
