Rivus Pharmaceuticals is a privately held clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company founded in 2019, with corporate offices in South San Francisco, California and research operations in Charlottesville, Virginia. Grounded in mitochondrial biology, it develops oral small-molecule controlled metabolic accelerators for obesity and associated cardio-metabolic disease. Lead candidate HU6 is in Phase 2 development for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and has reported Phase 2a data in obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF); RV-8451, an oral non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonist for obesity, is in IND-enabling studies. Rivus is a therapeutics developer, not a software or technology vendor: it publishes no developer program, public API, SDK or machine-readable specification of any kind.
