XORTX Therapeutics Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders.
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 gout patients. 3-5% of gout patients receiving allopurinol treatment, the current standard of care for gout, do not respond well. The medication previously used by such 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.
