Our Mission
Orpheus is dedicated to the development of Prominin-1 Peptide (PR1P), a novel therapeutic that stabilizes the ocular environment. PR1P has the unique ability to bind to and stabilize vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This previously unseen mechanism of action allows PR1P to change the treatment landscape in multiple ocular diseases, including retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
