About Basking
Basking is developing the first in class agent (BB-031) targeting von Willebrand Factor (VWF) along with a direct acting reversal agent (BB-025) to immediately the pharmacological effect of BB-031 in the event of bleeding. BB-031 is an RNA aptamer optimized for rapid onset of action and short duration of effect. Basking will initiate a Phase 2 trial in acute ischemic stroke in late 2022 and is exploring further application in pulmonary embolism in preclinical studies.
