Thryv Therapeutics to Present at the 2025 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, LA
Montreal, Quebec – November 5, 2025 – Thryv Therapeutics Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing a series of novel serum glucocorticoid inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) inhibitors for inherited cardiac arrhythmias, cardiometabolic diseases, and cardiomyopathies, today announced that new preclinical data will be presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025, taking place November 8–10 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions bring together global experts to exchange the latest advancements in cardiovascular science, clinical care, and research. Thryv Therapeutics is honored to contribute to this important dialogue with its recent research highlighting the potential of SGK1 inhibition as a novel therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease, including heart failure.

About THRV-1268 and Thyrv’s SGK1 Inhibitor Program
THRV-1268 is a best-in-class, highly selective SGK1 (serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1) inhibitor with the potential to transform the treatment landscape for Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), heart failure, and atrial fibrillation, three serious cardiac conditions with urgent unmet medical needs. Thryv Therapeutics has open Investigational New Drug (IND) applications to study THRV-1268 in both LQTS and heart failure.
Thryv is advancing a portfolio of potent and selective SGK1 inhibitors that target the fundamental mechanisms driving electrical and structural remodeling in the heart. SGK1 acts as a central regulator of key pathological processes—including inflammation, fibrosis, and both electrical and structural remodeling—that contribute to the onset and progression of cardiometabolic diseases such as heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
About Thryv Therapeutics
