About CalciMedica
CalciMedica is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel CRAC channel inhibition therapies for inflammatory and immunologic diseases.

CalciMedica is currently conducting a Phase 2b trial (called CARPO ? NCT04681066) for AP with SIRS, with topline data expected in the second quarter of 2024, as well as supporting the ongoing Phase 1/2 AIPT study (called CRSPA ?

NCT06374797) in AKI with associated AHRF in the second quarter of 2024 with data expected in 2025.
