THAC, The Healthy Aging Company, is a French and US-based privately-owned biopharmaceutical company which has the ambition to develop a range of first-in-class drug candidates targeting T2DM and its complications.

 

♦ Its pipeline could lead to potential real game changers for patient care and disease management.THAC is primarily focused on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, a condition with still unmet medical needs.

THAC envisions that by fighting insulin resistance, the root cause of T2DM, major breakthrough could be achieved for the treatment of T2DM and the prevention of severe related complications such as peripheral neuropathy (e.g. diabetic foot wounds, amputations).

THAC drug candidates have a unique and innovative mechanism of action that targets oxidation and inflammation.  

THAC drug candidates are intended to delay disease progression, improve patient’s quality of life, delay premature death and prevent T2DM complications ; peripheral neuropathy is a severe complication for which there is no treatment available; e.g., diabetic foot wounds and amputations.
