About MORF-057 Morphic is developing MORF-057 as a selective, oral small molecule inhibitor of the α4β7 integrin for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). α4β7 has been clinically validated as a target for the treatment of IBD by the success of the approved injectable antibody therapeutic vedolizumab. MORF-057, like vedolizumab, is designed to block the interactions between α4β7 on the surface of lymphocytes and the mucosal endothelial cell ligand MAdCAM-1, substantially reducing lymphocyte migration from the bloodstream into intestinal mucosal tissues and avoiding inflammation that is associated with IBD.

Morphic is also advancing its pipeline and discovery activities in collaboration with Schrödinger using its proprietary MInT technology platform which leverages the Company’s unique understanding of integrin structure and biology.

About MORF
oral integrin therapies for patients with immunological, fibrotic, neoplastic and vascular diseases. morphic tx is joining a three decade quest led by our scientific founder, tim springer, who initially discovered the integrin receptor family in the 1980s. this receptor family is an important drug target that has fueled the successful development of six injectable therapies approved for treatment of multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease, plaque psoriasis, acute coronary syndrome and complications during percutaneous coronary intervention. despite blockbuster commercial success, integrins have remained out of reach as small molecule drugs...until now.
