Exxel plans to launch a first-in-human Phase 1/1b study of EX937 for the treatment of refractory chronic cough, a large underserved market with no current FDA-approved therapies. In preclinical studies, EX937 demonstrated efficacy in its ability to modulate chronic cough in multiple models. Additionally, EX937 has shown to have a favorable safety profile and is expected to have no CNS side effects by being entirely excluded from the central nervous system and brain. EX937 also has the potential to be utilized across a number of high-value indications, including hyperactive bladder, peripheral neuropathic pain and migraine headaches. Exxel Pharma has a second program (ARN compounds) with the potential to treat Social Anxiety and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Akari Therapeutics Participates in the Virtual Investor 'Top 5 for ‘25' On-Demand Conference
On-demand video webcast now available here BOSTON and LONDON, Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akari Therapeutics, Plc (Nasdaq: AKTX), a biotechnology company developing next-generation precision bi-functional antibody drug conjugates (ADC) for the treatment of cancer, today announced it participated in the Virtual Investor 'Top 5 for '25' On-Demand Conference. As part of the event, Dr. Samir Patel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Akari Therapeutics, presented the top five reasons of why he believes the investment community and industry colleagues should pay attention to Akari in 2025. The on-demand video webcast is now accessible for viewing here and on the Investors section of the Company's website ( About Akari Therapeutics Akari Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing next-generation precision bi-functional antibody drug conjugates (ADC) for the treatment of cancer. Utilizing its innovative ADC discovery platform, the Company has the ability to generate novel bi-functional ADC candidates and optimize them based on the desired application to target a range of cancers to fuel a growing pipeline. Akari's lead candidate, AKTX-101, targets the TROP2 receptor on cancer cells and with a proprietary linker delivers its novel PH1 payload directly into the tumor. Unlike current ADCs that use tubulin inhibitors and DNA damaging agents as their toxin classes, PH1 is a novel bi-functional payload that is designed to disrupt RNA splicing within cancer cells, inducing tumor-specific cell death while generating immunostimulatory effects and minimizing off-target toxicity. Given this mechanism, AKTX-101 has the potential to overcome many of the shortcomings of current ADCs, off-target toxicity and resistance. In preclinical studies, AKTX-101 has shown to have superior activity, prolonged survival, less resistance and better tolerability and safety. Additionally, AKTX-101 has the potential to be synergistic with checkpoint inhibitors and has demonstrated prolonged survival in preclinical models. The Company is generating validating data on its novel payloads to advance its pipeline. For more information about the Company, please visit and connect on X and LinkedIn.
