ZyVersa Therapeutics Supports FDA-Authorized Emergency Compassionate Use of Cholesterol Efflux Mediator™ VAR 200 in a Patient with ApoCII Amyloidosis
July 8, 2025
ZyVersa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZVSA; “ZyVersa”), a clinical stage specialty biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class drugs for treatment of patients with renal and inflammatory diseases who have unmet medical needs, is pleased to provide regulatory and product support for FDA-authorized Emergency Compassionate Use of Cholesterol Efflux Mediator™ VAR 200 in a patient with ApoCII amyloidosis. Emergency Compassionate Use, also called Emergency Expanded Access, is a pathway for a patient with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition to gain access to an investigational drug for treatment outside of clinical trials when enrollment criteria are not met or there are no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy options.
The patient with ApoCII amyloidosis will receive treatment at the University of Miami Peggy and Harold Katz Family Drug Discovery Center under the care of the Center Director, Dr. Alessia Fornoni, Professor of Medicine, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and VAR 200 inventor. VAR 200 treatment and monitoring will follow the protocol of the ongoing DKD clinical trial, VAR200-0301 (ClinicalTrials.Gov ID: NCT06489340).
“We are at a time where Precision Medicine offers new tools to endophenotype patients and to identify the molecular signature that allows us to match the right patient to the right drug. The evidence of lipotoxic glomerular injury in this patient is what prompted me to request emergency compassionate use. I am very excited about the opportunity to test the efficacy of VAR 200 for this new indication, as I believe experimental treatment cases like this one will drive further clinical development for other patients as well,” stated Dr. Fornoni.
“We are proud to support Dr. Fornoni’s Emergency Compassionate Use of VAR 200 in her patient with ApoCII amyloidosis who currently has no other effective treatment options. We are hopeful that VAR 200 will help to improve the course of her disease and quality of life,” said Stephen C. Glover, ZyVersa’s Co-founder, Chairman, CEO, and President. “We look forward to learning the effects of VAR 200 on proteinuria in this patient with ApoCII amyloidosis, which in combination with the data from our Phase 2a DKD trial, will support the design of our ongoing VAR 200 clinical development program.”
ABOUT CHOLESTEROL EFFLUX MEDIATOR™ VAR 200
Cholesterol Efflux Mediator™ VAR 200 (2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, 2HPßCD) is an injectable drug in phase 2 development to ameliorate renal lipid accumulation that damages the kidneys’ filtration system, leading to development and progression of kidney disease. VAR 200 removes excess lipids from the kidney both passively, and actively by upregulation of cholesterol efflux transporters, ABCA1 and ABCG.
Preclinical studies with VAR 200 in animal models of FSGS, Alport syndrome, and diabetic kidney disease demonstrate reduced levels of cholesterol and lipids, protection against renal injury and fibrosis, and improvement in proteinuria. Additional information can be found in the VAR 200 White Paper.
The lead indication for VAR 200 is orphan kidney disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Prior to initiating a Phase 2a trial in patients with FSGS, we are conducting a small Phase 2a trial in patients with diabetic kidney disease, which we expect will provide patient proof-of-concept more quickly than an FSGS study. Alport Syndrome and diabetic kidney disease indications may be pursued based on our indication expansion strategy.

ZyVersa Therapeutics Announces Article Published in Peer-Reviewed Biomedical Journal Demonstrating That NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibition Attenuates Inflammatory Bowel Disease Symptoms in Animal Model
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract affecting 1 in 100 Americans (around 2.4 million people) that can lead to disabling bowel symptoms and progressive bowel damage.
Study provides direct evidence that NLRP3 signaling is over-activated in IBD, and that its inhibition attenuates intestinal inflammation and tissue damage, leading to significant improvements in IBD symptoms, and restoration of normal intestinal microbial flora.
ZyVersa is developing Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 which can inhibit up to 12 different inflammasomes (including NLRP3 inflammasomes) and their associated ASC specks which perpetuate damaging inflammation.
WESTON, Fla., Nov. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZyVersa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZVSA, or “ZyVersa”), a clinical stage specialty biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class drugs for treatment of inflammatory and renal diseases, announces publication of an article in the peer-reviewed Biomedical Journal demonstrating that inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasomes in an IBD animal model attenuates intestinal inflammation and tissue damage, leading to significant improvements in IBD symptoms, and restoration of normal intestinal microbial flora.
In the paper titled, “Inhibition of NLRP3 attenuates sodium dextran sulfate-induced inflammatory bowel disease through gut microbiota regulation,” the authors evaluated human colon biopsy samples from patients with IBD and healthy controls, and conducted a study in an IBD mouse model. Following are key findings reported in the paper:
NLRP3 and IL-1ß expression is increased in the colon of IBD patients.
NLRP3 inhibition in the IBD animal model: Inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in the colon, resulting in significantly reduced levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1b, IL-6, and TNF-a.Alleviated severe diarrhea and significantly improved IBD symptoms, based on the disease activity index score.Attenuated histopathological changes indicative of tissue damage (goblet cell reduction, crypt destruction, and epithelial barrier disruption).Restored gut microbiota to normal.
The authors stated, “In conclusion, this study provides direct evidence that NLRP3 signaling is over-activated in IBD patients. The inhibition of NLRP3 reverses the IBD-like symptoms in DSS-induced mice, which the regulatory effects on gut microbiota might mediate. Overall, this present study provides a basis for the clinical application of NLRP3 as a target for IBD treatment.” To read the article, Click Here.
“Restoration of quality of life is the ultimate long-term goal in IBD management. Although disease remission can often be achieved with current therapies, bothersome symptoms can still prevail,” stated Stephen C. Glover, ZyVersa’s Co-founder, Chairman, CEO and President. “The research published in the Biomedical Journal provides support for inflammasome inhibition as a promising treatment option for IBD. ZyVersa is developing Inflammasome ASC inhibitor IC 100. Unlike NLRP3 inhibitors, designed to inhibit formation of one inflammasome to block initiation of the inflammatory cascade, IC 100 was designed to inhibit multiple types of inflammasomes and their associated ASC specks to uniquely block both initiation and perpetuation of damaging inflammation, which we believe is necessary to control chronic inflammation.” To review a white paper summarizing the mechanism of action and preclinical data for IC 100, Click Here.
About Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100
IC 100 is a novel humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that inhibits the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC. IC 100 was designed to attenuate both initiation and perpetuation of the inflammatory response. It does so by binding to a specific region of the ASC component of multiple types of inflammasomes, including NLRP1, NLRP2, NLRP3, NLRC4, AIM2, Pyrin. Intracellularly, IC 100 binds to ASC monomers, inhibiting inflammasome formation, thereby blocking activation of IL-1ß early in the inflammatory cascade. IC 100 also binds to ASC in ASC Specks, both intracellularly and extracellularly, further blocking activation of IL-1ß and the perpetuation of the inflammatory response that is pathogenic in inflammatory diseases. Because active cytokines amplify adaptive immunity through various mechanisms, IC 100, by attenuating cytokine activation, also attenuates the adaptive immune response.
