    Trefoil was founded to bring forward TTHX1114, a novel engineered FGF1 (eFGF1) compound to treat corneal diseases. Lead candidate TTHX1114 is an engineered form of naturally-occurring Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 (FGF1) designed to protect corneal endothelial cells and prevent vision loss by stimulating corneal endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Trefoil’s first product, currently undergoing clinical trials, is an intracameral injection of TTH1114 for the treatment of endothelial deficiencies. An intracameral injection involves the injection of a small amount of TTHX1114 into the eye (directly behind the cornea) using a very small needle. TTHX1114 has the potential to be the first pharmacologic treatment for corneal endothelial dystrophy, which puts patients at risk of vision threatening post-surgical edema which may lead to the need for a cornea transplant.

Trefoil is a biotechnology company that brings forward novel engineered FGF-1 compounds to treat endothelial cell mediated diseases.
