24/7 Market News- XORTX Reports that recent Independent Published Research Supports Its approach to Treating Kidney and Other Diseases
DENVER, Colo., Aug 29, 2024 (247marketnews.com)- XORTX Therapeutics (NASDAQ:XRTX) reported that recent peer-reviewed, independent, published research, which highlights that genetic factors are linked to the over-expression of xanthine oxidase (“XO”), further support the Company’s approach to treating several diseases, including kidney disease, by inhibiting XO.
Allen Davidoff, Ph.D., CEO of XORTX, commented, “The combination of pioneering research in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (“ADPKD”) sponsored by XORTX and these peer-reviewed, published research papers support our belief that pharmacologic targeting of XO holds enormous therapeutic potential, specifically where increased XO activity is associated with non-diabetic or diabetic kidney diseases. These discoveries highlight an opportunity to develop a personalized therapeutic approach for individuals whose unique genetic factors predisposed them to disease, and the need for xanthine oxidase inhibition to treat those individuals at risk. We believe that XORTX’s expertise in developing XO inhibitors, protected by a patent portfolio that anticipated this opportunity, combined with our therapeutic platform is ideally positioned to deliver targeted therapeutics to individuals. Our planned clinical trial in patients with ADPKD will test XORLO™, our proprietary formulation of oxypurinol, and will also provide an opportunity to further understand the role of these newly identified genetic factors in individuals with PKD.”
