SLBST Pharma is a small biotechnology company based in St. Petersburg, Florida, focused on developing non-hormonal therapies for endometriosis. Its program centers on a reformulation of hydroxychloroquine, designed to address endometriosis by reducing chronic inflammation and inhibiting lesion formation through lowered autophagy. The FDA has granted clearance to advance a Phase 2 dose-finding trial, and the company holds issued and pending patents protecting this indication. Endometriosis affects more than four million diagnosed women and remains without a cure, with current options frequently involving surgery, hormone therapies, and substantial opioid use. The company operates within the biotechnology research sector and pursues a non-hormonal pain-relief approach that targets inflammation and autophagy to address the disease.
