About TRE-515
TRE-515 is a novel deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) inhibitor that has already demonstrated a strong safety profile and early signs of clinical benefit in an ongoing human oncology trial. With its differentiated mechanism of action, TRE-515 has the potential to reshape treatment for lupus and other autoimmune diseases—addressing an urgent need where patients have limited options today.
