CalciMedica, Inc. operates as a biopharmaceutical company. The company is headquartered in La Jolla, California and currently employs 14 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2020-09-25.

The firm's technology targets the inhibition of CRAC channels to modulate the immune response and protect against tissue cell injury. Its lead product candidate is Auxora, a potent and selective intravenous formulated small molecule CRAC channel inhibitor containing the active compound zegocractin (formerly referred to as CM4620) that, in animal models, reduced acute epithelial and/or endothelial cell injury and inflammation in organs, such as the pancreas, lungs and kidneys.
