Arphamid develops therapeutics that keep cancer patients on life-saving treatment. We target debilitating complications that force patients to reduce or stop chemotherapy. Dimiracetam, a glutamate modulator (Phase 2-ready), prevents early symptoms of oxaliplatin neuropathy. RF4662 reduces breakthrough pain episodes via GPR103 antagonism (IND-ready). RF4442 addresses cachexia via GPR10 antagonism. We seek €25M to advance three value-inflection milestones toward a €3.5B market.
