A Monumental $128 Million Step Forward for HHT Research

April 3, 2024

Today is a monumental day for HHT. The new biotechnology company, Diagonal Therapeutics, officially launched and we wanted to share more about why this is news you simply can’t miss!

In short, Diagonal’s lead program is focused on developing an innovative treatment not just to alleviate the symptoms of HHT – but using antibodies to reverse the formation of vascular malformations altogether. That’s right, there is now a biotechnology company, backed by $128 million in Series A financing, focused entirely on a curative HHT therapy.

For months, Cure HHT has been collaborating with Diagonal’s management team to help make this day a reality. We have connected them to leading HHT scientists to help them further develop their program, and have spent countless hours meeting with venture capital firms to educate them on the burden of this disease and help Diagonal secure funding to launch.
