Celladon Corporation is a biotechnology company focused on developing cutting edge treatments for cardiovascular diseases. Celladon’s lead development program is designed to treat congestive heart failure by using a recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector to restore production of an enzyme that regulates calcium cycling and contractility in heart muscle cells. Celladon's first generation product, MYDICAR®, replaces the gene for the SERCA2a enzyme, which is known to be depleted in severe heart failure. One year data from the Phase 2 CUPID clinical trial demonstrate that restoring SERCA2a enzyme production provides sustained improvements in ventricular function and multiple cardiac parameters in patients with advanced heart failure.
