Brief summary
HMPL-011, the Hutchison MediPharma study drug, is an experimental compound being investigated for its potential to control how the body responds to certain inflammatory processes found in a number of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. It is hoped that this information will lead to an improved anti-inflammatory drug which could reduce the inflammation responsible for the damage to the body’s organs caused by these diseases (such as the joint destruction seen in rheumatoid arthritis).
