About Vast Therapeutics
Vast is a life science company focused on breaking the debilitating cycle of chronic infection and inflammation in respiratory diseases. This cycle affects patients across the entire spectrum of human life, ranging from children with rare orphan diseases like cystic fibrosis (CF) to adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) to the highly prevalent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We believe our product candidates may provide an effective treatment for patients chronically infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, NTM, and other drug-resistant microbes.
