About POXEL

POXEL is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company with a focus on developing innovative treatments for chronic serious diseases with metabolic pathophysiology, including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and rare disorders. The company has clinical and earlier-stage programs from its adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator and deuterated TZD platforms targeting chronic and rare metabolic diseases. In the treatment of NASH, PXL065 (deuterium-stabilized R-pioglitazone) is in a streamlined Phase 2 trial (DESTINY1). PXL770, a first-in-class direct AMPK activator, has successfully completed a Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial for the treatment of NASH with positive outcomes. Additionally, for the rare inherited metabolic disorder, adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), the company intends to initiate Phase 2a proof of concept studies with PXL065 and PXL770 in patients with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). The company's lead product, TWYMEEG® (Imeglimin), has been approved and launched for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Japan, and the company expects to receive sales-based payments and royalties from Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma. With a strategic partnership with Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma for Imeglimin in Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and nine other Southeast Asian countries, Poxel is poised for further expansion and growth. It is listed on Euronext Paris and is headquartered in Lyon, France, with subsidiaries in Boston, MA, and Tokyo, Japan. In March 2023, the company secured a €3.50MPost-IPO Equity investment from Iris Capital Investment.
