$PVLA : Palvella Therapeutics (PVLA) - QTORIN™ Rapamycin
Palvella’s QTORIN™ platform is a patented anhydrous gel system designed for topical delivery of rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor, to treat rare genetic skin conditions like Pachyonychia Congenita, microcystic lymphatic malformations, and potentially others. The technology emphasizes stable, high-concentration anhydrous formulations (e.g., 3.9% rapamycin) that enable targeted skin penetration without significant systemic exposure, which is critical for chronic use in sensitive populations.
