ADARx Pharmaceuticals
| General Information | |
| Business: | (Incorporated in Delaware) We are a late-clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing next-generation siRNA therapeutics designed to treat a broad spectrum of diseases. We are focused on advancing and expanding our pipeline of highly potent, selective and durable siRNA therapeutic candidates, including three clinical-stage programs and two advanced preclinical programs. Our goal is to control the expression of specific disease drivers with highly selective RNA targeted therapies, delivering life-changing treatments for patients with urgent unmet medical needs. Our team is united by a shared vision to build a leading next-generation siRNA therapeutics company. siRNA, or small interfering RNA, therapeutics represent a significant advancement in precision medicine by addressing diseases at the genetic level (mRNA or RNA) while avoiding permanent alterations to a patient’s genome (DNA). While this class of medicines has had significant success both clinically and commercially, its broader potential has historically been constrained by challenges in achieving potent, durable and selective silencing, especially outside of established liver-directed applications. Drawing on decades of RNA drug development experience, our team has built two proprietary technologies to overcome these limitations through advances in siRNA design and delivery: (1) messenger RNA (mRNA) Silencing Technology (MST) and (2) Cell Targeted Delivery (CTD). These technologies are collectively designed to optimize our siRNA sequences and delivery to both hepatic and extrahepatic tissues. Using these technologies, we seek to develop novel therapeutics prioritizing chronic diseases where deep, durable target suppression can enable meaningful clinical benefit for patients with significant unmet need. We currently have five wholly-owned therapeutic candidates in clinical and preclinical development. Our three clinical-stage therapeutic candidates, each of which targets hepatic tissues, are being evaluated for the treatment of complement-mediated diseases, hereditary angioedema (HAE) and thrombotic diseases. In addition, we are utilizing our CTD technology to expand beyond hepatic delivery into extrahepatic tissues, with two programs in or advancing to the investigational new drug application (IND)-enabling stage targeting adipose (obesity) and neurons (neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s). Beyond our wholly-owned pipeline, in May 2025, we entered into a discovery-stage Collaboration and License Option Agreement (the AbbVie Agreement) with AbbVie to advance novel siRNA therapeutics across multiple therapeutic areas, pursuant to which we received an upfront cash payment of $335.0 million and are eligible to receive additional payments of up to $385.0 million in option extension and option exercise payments, up to $7.45 billion in additional contingent milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties at rates in the high single digits to mid-teens, as more fully described in the section titled “Business—Collaboration and license option agreement.”
Our wholly owned pipeline includes: Agazisiran: Our complement factor B (CFB) program, agazisiran, represents a pipeline-in-a-product opportunity, where a single therapeutic candidate has the potential to address multiple indications. Our Phase 1 clinical trial evaluated the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) activity and pharmacodynamic (PD) activity of agazisiran. We are conducting three Phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of agazisiran in patients with complement-mediated diseases: (1) renal diseases, including IgAN, C3G and IC-MPGN; (2) PNH; and (3) GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The Phase 2 clinical trials are enrolling, with initial data in IgAN, C3G and PNH expected in mid- to second half of 2027. Data from our ongoing Phase 2 clinical trials are expected to inform potential Phase 3 trial plans. ADX-626: Our Factor XI (FXI) program, ADX-626, is in development for secondary stroke prevention with additional clinical potential for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. We are conducting a Phase 1 single ascending dose clinical trial in healthy volunteers for ADX-626 to evaluate the safety and tolerability, PK activity and PD activity of ADX-626. We are preparing for Phase 2 clinical development and intend to continue to explore higher doses of ADX-626 in the Phase 1 trial. We plan to initiate a Phase 2a/b clinical trial in secondary stroke prevention in 2027, with Phase 2a 3-month PD data expected by the end of 2027. ADX-077: Our adipose-targeted obesity program, ADX-077, is designed to reduce body weight and fat while preserving lean mass. Our obese NHP study evaluated the preclinical activity and safety of ADX-077. We have initiated IND-enabling studies and plan to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial in 2027, subject to receipt of regulatory clearance. Initial clinical data from this planned Phase 1 clinical trial are anticipated in 2028. ADX-199: Our neuron-targeted program, ADX-199, is designed to selectively silence and degrade amyloid-ß precursor protein (APP) mRNA in neurons, which is genetically linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Our NHP studies evaluated the preclinical activity and safety of ADX-199. We are advancing ADX-199 into IND-enabling studies and plan to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial by the end of 2027 or in early 2028. Initial clinical data from this planned Phase 1 clinical trial are anticipated in 2028. Beyond our named programs, we plan to continue to leverage our proprietary technologies to strategically expand our pipeline of next-generation siRNA therapeutics. Our execution is made possible by our team, which is led by seasoned entrepreneurial executives with deep experience in their respective fields, who are united by a shared vision to build a leading next-generation siRNA therapeutics company. Note: Net loss and collaboration revenue are for the 12 months that ended on June 30, 2026.
