Pioneering New Therapies for Gout and Progressive Kidney Disease

We are XORTX Therapeutics, a late stage clinical pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative therapies to improve the quality of life of patients with gout and progressive kidney disease. Our programs are designed to manage aberrant purine metabolism and reduce high uric acid to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of gout and slow the progression of high uric acid related kidney diseases.

About our company

Developing First-in-class Uric Acid Lowering Agents

We have four programs: One of these programs is at the pre-NDA filing stage, two are in clinical development, and one is at an early stage of development. Each is intended to treat gout or rare and progressive kidney diseases, all of which are modulated by aberrant purine and uric acid metabolism.

XRx-026 for Gout

We are currently developing XRx-026 for the treatment of allopurinol intolerant gout patients.  Allopurinol intolerance occurs in 3-5% of gout patients receiving allopurinol treatment, the current standard of care for gout.  The medication previously used by allopurinol intolerant gout patients, febuxostat, now carries a severe Black Box warning resulting in an exciting opportunity for our gout program which is approaching an NDA filing.

Redefining Drug Development Through Strategic Collaborations
