Significant market opportunity
-
Pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); $3.5b[2]
-
Kidney fibrosis
-
Cardiac fibrosis
LOXL2 and fibrosis:
-
LOX family of enzymes are the final step in the fibrotic disease process
-
Clear association of increased levels of LOXL2 (and LOXL3) with disease progression in IPF, NASH and cardiac fibrosis
Competitive profile:
-
Novel target and mechanism of action
-
Once daily oral drug
-
Best in class drug with high level inhibition of LOXL2 enzyme for 24 hours from one dose
-
Only known drug in clinical development to inhibit LOXL3
-
Place of LOXL2 at the end of the fibrotic cascade provides opportunity to use in combination with other Pharma pipeline drugs
LOXL2 inhibitor program

| Toxicity | Wide therapeutic window As long as possible |
28 day tox studies complete 13 week studies (2 species): 2 successfully completed; 2 in progress – report Q4 ‘18 |
| Clinical phase | Phase 1 with target engagement Phase 2 ready |
Both compounds successfully completed Phase 1 clinical trials |
| Target engagement | Drug inhibits target | Very high levels of inhibition for 24 hours from a single daily dose over 14 days – achieved with both compounds |
LOXL2 inhibitor program – partnering process
Positive engagement with pharma companies
-
Pharma company interest driven by search for:
-
Inhibitor to LOXL2 and LOXL3 enzymes,
-
Effective anti-fibrotic drug, and/or
-
Drugs to complement existing disease portfolio – lung, liver, kidney, heart, etc.
-
Pharmaxis engagement with multiple potential partners on planning and progress of the LOXL2 program for over 2 years
-
Pharmaxis data packaging will complete in Q4, including:
