About Dyax
Dyax is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on
the discovery, development and commercialization of novel
biotherapeutics for unmet medical needs. The Company currently
markets KALBITOR® (ecallantide) for the treatment of acute attacks
of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in patients 12 years of age and
older. Dyax is also developing DX-2930, a fully human monoclonal
antibody, for the potential prophylactic treatment of HAE.
Both KALBITOR and DX-2930 were identified using Dyax's
proprietary phage display technology. Dyax has broadly licensed
this technology and has a portfolio of product candidates being
developed by its licensees, which it refers to as the LFRP. The
Company is eligible to receive future milestones and/or royalties
dependent upon the development and commercialization of these
candidates. In 2014, Dyax’s licensee Eli Lilly and Company began
marketing their FDA approved product, CYRAMZA™ (ramucirumab), as a
single-agent treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer
after prior chemotherapy, making this the first royalty-bearing
product from Dyax’s LFRP.
