Pliant Therapeutics

ChallengerBioTech

Fibrotic Disease

Pliant Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotech (Nasdaq: PLRX) developing integrin inhibitors for fibrotic diseases, with lead program bexotegrast in Phase 2b/3 trials for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

About

Pliant Therapeutics develops small molecule integrin inhibitors targeting the pathological tissue scarring (fibrosis) that drives diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH/MASH). Integrins are cell surface receptors that activate TGF-β, the master regulator of fibrosis — blocking specific integrin subtypes (αvβ6, αvβ1) can halt or reverse fibrosis progression without broadly suppressing immunity.

Medical Imaging AI

a2z Radiology AI raised $20M in 2025 for its whole-body AI that simultaneously screens for 24+ conditions across CT scans — from incidental cancers to cardiovascular risk — in a single automated read.

About

a2z Radiology AI has developed a whole-body CT analysis platform that simultaneously screens for over 24 medical conditions across a single CT scan, including incidental cancers, coronary artery disease, aortic aneurysm, bone density loss, and organ abnormalities. The AI acts as a second reader that radiologists can use to catch incidental findings that fall outside the primary reason for a scan — a major source of missed diagnoses.
