About Eloxx Pharmaceuticals
Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company developing novel RNA-modulating drug
candidates (designed to be eukaryotic ribosomal selective
glycosides) that are formulated to treat rare and ultra-rare
premature stop codon diseases. Premature stop codons are point
mutations that disrupt protein synthesis from messenger RNA. As a
consequence, patients with premature stop codon diseases have
reduced or eliminated protein production from the mutation bearing
allele accounting for some of the most severe phenotypes in these
genetic diseases. These premature stop codons have been identified
in over 1,800 rare and ultra-rare diseases.
Read-through therapeutic development is focused on extending
mRNA half-life and increasing protein synthesis by enabling the
cytoplasmic ribosome to read through premature stop codons to
produce full-length proteins. Eloxx’s lead investigational product
candidate, ELX-02, is a small molecule drug candidate designed to
restore production of full-length functional proteins. ELX-02 is in
the early stages of clinical development focusing on cystic
fibrosis and cystinosis. ELX-02 is an investigational drug that has
not been approved by any global regulatory body. Eloxx’s
preclinical candidate pool consists of a library of novel drug
candidates designed to be eukaryotic ribosomal selective glycosides
identified based on read-through potential. Eloxx recently
announced a new program focused on rare ocular genetic disorders.
Eloxx is headquartered in Waltham, MA, with operations in Rehovot,
Israel. For more information, please visit www.eloxxpharma.com.
