Developing best-in-class therapeutics that target gout and adjacent inflammatory conditions.

Targeting Gout: the world’s most painful form of arthritis.

Gout is the world's most common and most painful form of inflammatory arthritis.

Prevalence continues to accelerate, yet effective, fast-acting options remain scarce and insufficient for many.

Backed by decades of real-world use.

We work with time-tested, botanically derived bioactive compounds, observed in real-world use long before the lab.

Our signal-first approach delivers safer, more predictable, and more effective clinical development.

In pursuit of clinical validation.

From observation to formulation, we are focused on translating promising solutions into validated, science-driven therapeutics.

Delivering meaningful care for patients around the world.

Gout is widespread and growing.
Current options are lacking.

Most common type of inflammatory arthritis.

U.S. gout prevalence more than doubled from 2001 to 2021.

A condition this prevalent, painful, and debilitating deserves better-tolerated, faster-acting options.

Botanically derived.
A distinct advantage.

Celeritas focuses on developing botanical drugs: a complex mixture of naturally derived herbal compounds, well observed in real human use for decades.

Botanical drugs deliver distinct advantages over synthetic drugs:

  • 01

    Better tolerated. Wider therapeutic margin.

    Botanical drugs are typically better tolerated than synthetic alternatives, with a superior risk-to-benefit ratio shaped by broad therapeutics margins and low interaction potential.

  • 02

    Drug-grade rigor. First-line therapies.

    Evidence-based botanical drugs are held to the same regulatory standards as synthetic drugs:
    randomised controlled trials, defined composition, validated processing. In multiple indications, botanical drugs have become first-line therapy options for their tolerance-to-efficacy profile.

  • 03

    Decades of history and untapped potential.

    Recent scientific and regulatory advances have redefined how botanical drugs are evaluated, unlocking new pathways through real-world evidence and modern analytical techniques.

CTX-145

CTX-145, our lead candidate, is being advanced for acute gout flare and adjacent inflammatory and metabolic conditions.

  • Pre-clinical planning
  • Botanically derived bioactives
  • Inflammatory and metabolic focus

Highlighted patient-reported signals:

<4 Hours
Reported flare relief · vs. 24–48 hour standard.
10+ Years
of real-world observational use.
0 Side Effects
Reported across observational accounts.
1 Dose Required
vs. 2-3 multiple dosage requirement for standard gout therapies.
I suffered an acute gout flare early in the morning. I couldn't go to work, much less get out of bed. After taking one dose the pain that usually lasts days only lasted hours.
