Aeglea BioTherapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company. It is focused on human enzyme therapeutics to treat people with rare metabolic diseases. Its lead product candidate is pegzilarginase, which is a recombinant human arginase 1 that enzymatically degrades the amino acid arginine to lower arginine levels in patients with Arginase 1 Deficiency. It has engineered pegzilarginase with modifications that enhance the stability and arginine-degrading activity of the enzyme in human plasma. Its second product candidate, AGLE-177, is a novel PEGylated ( polyethylene glycol) human enzyme engineered to degrade free homocysteine and homocystine in patients with Homocystinuria. The Company is evaluating Pegzilarginase in a global pivotal Phase III pivotal PEACE (Pegzilarginase Effect on Arginase one Deficiency Clinical Endpoints) trial and Phase I/II open-label extension trial.
