What Pliant Therapeutics, Inc. does.

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing integrin-based therapeutics. Our lead program is focused on the development of treatments for solid tumors by inhibiting integrin-mediated activation of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). We have applied our deep understanding of integrin biology, along with our medicinal chemistry and translational medicine expertise to develop a proprietary drug discovery platform that we believe has broad applicability across multiple areas of disease.

Our wholly owned lead product candidate, PLN-101095, is an oral, small molecule, dual selective inhibitor of αvβ8 and αvβ1 integrins in development for the treatment of solid tumors. In 2025, we announced positive data from a Phase 1 open-label dose-escalation trial of PLN-101095 as monotherapy and in combination with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab in patients with solid tumors that are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors. We also continue to explore the full potential of our drug discovery platform consisting of a proprietary library of over 15,000 integrin binding molecules, focusing on integrin-based target-mediated drug delivery.

Our lead wholly owned product candidate, PLN-101095, is an oral, small molecule dual inhibitor of αvß8 and αvß1 integrins for the treatment of solid tumors that are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors, or ICIs. As TGF-β biology has been elucidated, it has become increasingly understood in the scientific literature that TGF-β plays an important anti-inflammatory role in the tumor micro-environment, preventing T-cell infiltration and inhibiting release of various cytokines. This mechanism is becoming increasingly recognized as a potential cause of the resistance to checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-PD-1 therapies seen in many tumors. We are targeting the TGF-β activating integrins αvβ8 and αvβ1, which are upregulated in certain tumors, with the goal of sensitizing tumors to checkpoint inhibitors. In March 2025 and December 2025, we announced positive data from a Phase 1 open label dose-escalation trial of PLN-101095. In this trial PLN-101095 was administered as monotherapy for 14 days, followed by combination therapy with pembrolizumab in patients with solid tumors that are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
