About Us

Treating, improving, and extending patients’ lives.

Our Vision

We are a clinical-stage biotech company dedicated to transforming outcomes in cardiothoracic surgical patients.

Renibus’ first-in-class lead program, RBT-1 (stannic protoporfin/iron sucrose), is a potent inducer of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways. RBT-1 (stannic protoporfin/iron sucrose) has finished its Phase 2 development in cardiac surgery and will soon enter a Phase 3 registration study for its lead indication to reduce the risk of postoperative complications following cardiothoracic surgery.

RBT-3 (iron sucrose), a novel, low molecular weight iron nanoparticle, is one component of RBT-1 (stannic protoporfin/iron sucrose) and is targeted at rapidly resolving anemia and reducing the risk of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and will be in Phase 2 clinical development in 2023.

RBT-9 (stannic protoporfin) is the other component of RBT-1, is a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant drug with select anti-viral properties. It has been in Phase 1 / 2 and is currently being evaluated for a future Phase 2 program.

RBT-2  is an antioxidant and anti-fibrotic drug that has been shown to reduce the risk of CKD progression in preclinical models. Currently in lead formulation stage.
