Melius Pharma AB is a Swedish clinical stage pharmaceutical company that develops new treatments for chronic cough in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients. The company is based in Lund, Sweden and is privately owned, benefiting from the support of two of Sweden's most prominent professional life science investors who bring expertise to develop the company. IPF is a chronic, progressive lung inflammation characterized by fibrosis and disruption of normal lung architecture. Melius Pharma has developed ME-015, which stabilizes ion channels in the neuronal endings in the lungs that mediate cough. ME-015 is presumed to have an acute effect and is a solution for chronic cough, which is one of the major symptoms experienced by 80%% of IPF patients.
