ADX-324 is an investigational short-interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic agent under development by ADARx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., primarily for the prophylactic treatment of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE).[1] The therapeutic strategy of ADX-324 centers on the specific targeting and reduction of plasma prekallikrein (PKK) production, a pivotal protein in the pathophysiological cascade leading to bradykinin generation and subsequent angioedema attacks characteristic of HAE. This is achieved through the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism, where ADX-324 is designed to silence the KLKB1 messenger RNA (mRNA).[2]
A key feature of ADX-324's development is its utilization of ADARx Pharmaceuticals' proprietary RNA targeting platform. This platform incorporates technologies for liver-directed delivery, primarily through N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) conjugation (referred to as PLR™ - Preeminent Liver RNA, or CTD™ - Cell-Targeted Delivery technology), and advanced oligonucleotide optimization strategies (known as SPE™ - Sequence Specific Platform Enhancement, or MST™ - mRNA Silencing Technology) to enhance potency, stability, and duration of action.[1]
Preclinical investigations, notably studies conducted in non-human primates, have provided encouraging data supporting the potential for ADX-324 to be administered via a long-acting, low-volume subcutaneous dosing regimen, possibly on a bi-annual or even annual basis.[1] Such a dosing schedule would represent a significant advancement in convenience and treatment burden reduction for HAE patients. Pharmacodynamic data from these preclinical efforts were presented at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) in November 2023, signaling progress in understanding the drug's activity profile.[8]
ADX-324 is currently progressing through clinical development. A Phase 1/2a clinical trial (NCT05691361; ADX-324-101) is ongoing, evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) in healthy volunteers and subsequently in patients with HAE.[1] Following this, a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT06960213; STOP-HAE) has been designed and is anticipated to begin recruiting participants in mid-2025 to further assess the efficacy and safety of ADX-324 in preventing HAE attacks.[12]
The consistent emphasis in company communications on a "low volume subcutaneous dose regimen" with "bi-annual, and possibly annual" dosing intervals [1] highlights a core strategic objective: to differentiate ADX-324 from existing HAE prophylactic treatments, many of which necessitate more frequent administration. HAE is a chronic condition requiring lifelong prophylaxis, making patient adherence and treatment burden critical considerations. An siRNA therapeutic capable of achieving sustained PKK knockdown with such infrequent dosing could address a significant unmet medical need, influencing the design of the Phase 3 trial which evaluates quarterly and semi-annual dosing.[13]
Furthermore, the development trajectory of ADX-324 serves a dual purpose. Beyond its potential as a specific treatment for HAE, its clinical progression acts as a validation for ADARx's underlying proprietary RNA delivery (PLR™/CTD™) and oligonucleotide modification (SPE™/MST™) technologies. ADARx possesses a diversified pipeline targeting various therapeutic areas.[4] Success with ADX-324, particularly in demonstrating effective liver targeting, durable gene silencing, and a favorable safety profile, would inherently de-risk other programs leveraging these same foundational technologies. The significant collaboration agreement with AbbVie, initiated in May 2025 for other therapeutic areas, further underscores the perceived value and potential of ADARx's RNA platform technologies.[15]
ADX-324 is being developed by ADARx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in San Diego, California.[1] The company is dedicated to the discovery and development of next-generation RNA-targeting therapeutics aimed at addressing a wide array of diseases, including genetic disorders, cardiometabolic conditions, complement-mediated diseases, and central nervous system (CNS) ailments.[1] ADARx's strategy involves leveraging its proprietary RNA technologies to create therapies that offer advantages in delivery, precision, and durability, positioning itself as an innovator in the competitive RNA therapeutics landscape.[18] The company's pipeline includes multiple wholly-owned clinical and preclinical candidates targeting the liver, CNS, and adipose tissue, with ADX-324 being its most advanced program, poised for Phase 3 clinical trials for HAE.[15] The company's focus on "next-generation" solutions suggests an ambition to overcome limitations of earlier RNA therapies and establish a leading presence in the field.
ADX-324 belongs to the class of drugs known as short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs).[1] siRNAs are double-stranded RNA molecules that harness the cell's natural RNA interference (RNAi) pathway to achieve sequence-specific gene silencing.[5] This mechanism operates post-transcriptionally, where the siRNA molecule is incorporated into a multi-protein complex called the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The siRNA then guides RISC to recognize and cleave the complementary target messenger RNA (mRNA), thereby preventing the mRNA from being translated into its corresponding protein.[5] This targeted approach allows for highly specific downregulation of disease-causing genes. The selection of siRNA as a therapeutic modality allows ADARx to build upon a class of drugs with several precedents of regulatory approval for various conditions, particularly those involving liver-expressed gene targets. This established pathway potentially allows ADARx to concentrate its innovative efforts on enhancing the delivery and oligonucleotide characteristics of its candidates rather than validating an entirely novel therapeutic approach.
ADARx Pharmaceuticals employs a suite of proprietary technologies to optimize its RNA therapeutic candidates. For ADX-324, company communications have highlighted the use of the PLR™ (Preeminent Liver RNA) delivery platform and SPE™ (Sequence Specific Platform Enhancement) technology.[1]
The company's broader technological capabilities, as detailed on its website, include CTD™ (Cell-Targeted Delivery) and MST™ (mRNA Silencing Technology).[5] The CTD™ platform encompasses strategies for targeted delivery, including the use of proprietary clusters of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ligands. These GalNAc clusters facilitate efficient binding to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), which is highly expressed on hepatocytes, thereby enabling effective liver-targeted delivery of RNA drugs.[5] ADX-324 is specifically described as a GalNAc3-conjugated siRNA, indicating its reliance on this liver-targeting mechanism.[6]
The MST™ platform focuses on optimizing the siRNA drug candidates themselves for precise targeting, profound target mRNA reduction, and sustained therapeutic effect. This is achieved by enhancing key aspects of delivery, RISC engagement, and RNA sequence optimization.[5]
It is plausible that PLR™ is the specific branding for ADARx's GalNAc-mediated liver delivery component within the broader CTD™ framework, particularly relevant for hepatically expressed targets like PKK. Similarly, SPE™ likely encapsulates aspects of the MST™ platform related to the chemical modifications and sequence design of the siRNA oligonucleotide to improve its stability, potency, duration of action, and reduce off-target effects. This integrated technology stack—combining targeted delivery with optimized oligonucleotide chemistry—is fundamental to achieving the desired therapeutic profile for ADX-324, including the potential for low-volume, long-acting subcutaneous administration.[1] The distinct branding of these platform components may also reflect a nuanced communication strategy, emphasizing specific technological advantages relevant to particular drug candidates or audiences.
ADX-324 is designed to target plasma prekallikrein (PKK), also known by its gene name KLKB1.[2] PKK is a zymogen that, upon activation to plasma kallikrein (PKa), plays a crucial role in the plasma kallikrein-kinin system.[21] This system is central to the pathophysiology of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), particularly HAE Types I and II. These types are most commonly caused by mutations in the SERPING1 gene, leading to a deficiency or dysfunction of the C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) protein.[6]
C1-INH normally regulates the activity of several proteases, including those in the contact system like factor XIIa and plasma kallikrein. In the absence of sufficient functional C1-INH, the contact system becomes overactive, leading to uncontrolled generation of plasma kallikrein.[21] Plasma kallikrein then cleaves high-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK) to release bradykinin.[6] Bradykinin is a potent vasoactive peptide that binds to bradykinin B2 receptors on endothelial cells, increasing vascular permeability. This results in the leakage of fluid into the interstitial space, causing the recurrent, localized, and potentially life-threatening swelling attacks (angioedema) characteristic of HAE.[21] The liver is the primary organ responsible for the synthesis of prekallikrein.[6] The selection of PKK as a therapeutic target is supported by a strong biological rationale and clinical validation from other therapies aimed at the kallikrein-kinin pathway for HAE management. This established understanding reduces the inherent risk associated with novel target discovery and allows development efforts to focus on optimizing drug delivery, dosing frequency, and long-term safety.
ADX-324 functions as an siRNA therapeutic that specifically targets the mRNA encoding PKK.[1] Through the RNAi pathway, ADX-324 guides the RISC to bind and cleave PKK mRNA molecules. This degradation of PKK mRNA occurs primarily within hepatocytes, the main liver cells, due to the GalNAc-mediated liver-targeting delivery mechanism of ADX-324.[5] By preventing the translation of PKK mRNA into protein, ADX-324 effectively reduces the synthesis and subsequent secretion of PKK from the liver into the bloodstream.[6] This upstream intervention, by inhibiting the production of new PKK protein, offers the potential for a more durable and sustained reduction in plasma PKK levels compared to therapies that directly inhibit the activity of already circulating PKK or kallikrein. This sustained effect is a cornerstone of the strategy to achieve a long-acting prophylactic treatment.
The ultimate therapeutic goal of ADX-324 is the prophylactic prevention of HAE attacks.[1] By substantially lowering plasma PKK levels, ADX-324 aims to reduce the capacity for excessive bradykinin generation. This, in turn, is expected to decrease the frequency, severity, and predictability of angioedema episodes in patients with HAE Types I and II.[4] The mechanism of action, focused on reducing the synthesis of PKK, inherently positions ADX-324 as a preventative therapy rather than an acute treatment for ongoing attacks. This prophylactic approach aligns with the chronic nature of HAE and the objective of providing patients with long-term control over their condition, as reflected in the design of its clinical trials which focus on attack prevention.[13]
Hereditary Angioedema is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by recurrent, unpredictable, and often debilitating episodes of angioedema.[1] These swelling attacks can affect various parts of the body, including the skin (extremities, face, genitals), the gastrointestinal tract (causing severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting), and the upper airways (larynx), where swelling can be life-threatening due to asphyxiation.[21]
HAE is primarily classified into types based on C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) levels and function:
Both HAE Type I and Type II result from mutations in the SERPING1 gene, which encodes C1-INH.[21] The deficiency or dysfunction of C1-INH leads to dysregulation of several plasma cascade systems, most notably the contact system (kallikrein-kinin system), resulting in the overproduction of bradykinin, the principal mediator of swelling in HAE.[6] The clinical development program for ADX-324 specifically targets patients with HAE Type I or Type II, as this population shares the common underlying pathophysiology of C1-INH deficiency leading to bradykinin-mediated angioedema, making PKK inhibition a rational therapeutic strategy.[13]
While the therapeutic landscape for HAE has evolved significantly with the availability of on-demand treatments for acute attacks and several prophylactic options, unmet medical needs persist.[23] A major challenge for patients requiring long-term prophylaxis is the treatment burden associated with many current therapies. Some prophylactic treatments involve frequent intravenous or subcutaneous injections (e.g., C1-INH replacement therapies administered twice weekly, or other pathway inhibitors requiring administration every one to four weeks).[25] This can significantly impact a patient's quality of life, adherence to treatment, and overall well-being.
ADX-324 aims to directly address this unmet need by offering a potentially highly effective prophylactic treatment with a significantly reduced dosing frequency. Preclinical data suggest the possibility of bi-annual or even annual subcutaneous administration.[1] Such an extended dosing interval, if validated in clinical trials, would represent a substantial improvement in convenience and could transform the management of HAE, allowing patients greater freedom and a reduced focus on their chronic condition. This focus on convenience, alongside efficacy and safety, is a key differentiating factor for ADX-324.
The preclinical development of ADX-324 has involved a series of studies to establish its mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety prior to human testing. Notably, these included evaluations in non-human primate (NHP) models, which are often used to assess the activity and duration of effect of RNAi therapeutics due to their physiological similarity to humans.[1] These NHP studies were pivotal in supporting the potential for a long-acting dosing regimen for ADX-324. While company press releases have alluded to these "promising preclinical studies" [1], detailed peer-reviewed publications comprehensively outlining the full preclinical data package for ADX-324 specifically in HAE-relevant animal models were not available within the scope of the provided information. This is a common occurrence in the early stages of drug development, where key findings are often first disseminated through company announcements and conference presentations before formal publication in scientific journals.
A central finding from the preclinical program, as highlighted by ADARx Pharmaceuticals, is the confirmation in NHP studies of robust and sustained reduction (knockdown) of PKK levels following administration of ADX-324.[1] This sustained knockdown is the basis for the anticipated long-acting dosing interval, with the company suggesting the likelihood of a bi-annual or possibly even annual low-volume subcutaneous dose regimen for ADX-324.[1] Early clinical observations from the Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers appear to corroborate these preclinical findings, with reports indicating "very deep knockdown" of prekallikrein proteins.[6] This suggests that the targeted engagement and mechanism of action observed in preclinical models are translating to early human studies, providing a strong rationale for investigating less frequent dosing schedules in later-stage clinical trials.
ADARx Pharmaceuticals presented pharmacodynamics data from a preclinical trial of ADX-324 for HAE at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) in November 2023.[8] Scientific conferences such as ACAAI serve as important venues for disseminating emerging data to the clinical and scientific communities, often well in advance of peer-reviewed publication. However, the specific details of the pharmacodynamic data presented at this meeting, such as the precise levels of PKK reduction achieved, the duration of this effect in the preclinical models used, or other specific endpoints, were not available in the provided research materials. The available information confirms the event of the presentation but does not include the abstract content or poster details.
The clinical development of ADX-324 is advancing through a structured program designed to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and ultimately its efficacy in preventing HAE attacks.
The foundational human study for ADX-324 is a Phase 1/2a trial registered under NCT05691361 and also identified as ADX-324-101.[9]

According to information from AdisInsight, ADX-324 does not currently hold Orphan Drug Designation from regulatory authorities such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA).[8] This is noteworthy given that HAE is a recognized rare disease, and other therapies in development for HAE, such as garadacimab, sebetralstat, and deucrictibant, have received such designations.[27]
Orphan Drug Designation is typically sought for drugs intended to treat rare diseases (e.g., prevalence <5 in 10,000 in the EU, or affecting <200,000 people in the U.S.) and provides various incentives to developers, including market exclusivity periods, fee reductions, and protocol assistance.[31] The absence of a reported orphan drug designation for ADX-324 could be due to several factors: ADARx Pharmaceuticals may not have yet applied for this status, the application process might be ongoing, or the available databases may not be fully up-to-date on this specific aspect for ADX-324. Alternatively, the company might have a different regulatory strategy. Nevertheless, the fact that competitor HAE drugs have secured orphan status underscores the recognized unmet medical need and the regulatory support available for developing treatments for this condition.
No information regarding other specific regulatory designations for ADX-324, such as Fast Track or Breakthrough Therapy, was found in the provided research materials. The initial Phase 1/2a clinical trial (NCT05691361) is being conducted in Australia [1], a common strategy for early-phase clinical development by international biotechnology companies due to factors such as efficient regulatory pathways and established clinical trial infrastructure. This does not preclude subsequent regulatory filings and development in other major jurisdictions like the U.S. and Europe.
ADARx Pharmaceuticals has successfully secured significant funding to support the development of its pipeline, including ADX-324. In August 2023, the company announced an oversubscribed $200 million Series C financing round. This round saw participation from a syndicate of prominent investors, including Blackrock, T. Rowe Price Associates, and Venrock, among others.[2] These funds were earmarked, in part, to advance ADX-324 through its clinical trials. Prior to this, in January 2023, coinciding with the initiation of the Phase 1 trial for ADX-324, ADARx announced the closure of a $46 million Series B-1 financing round.[2] The substantial capital raised in these financing rounds, particularly the $200 million Series C, signals robust investor confidence in ADARx's RNA technology platform and the potential of its lead candidates, including ADX-324. This financial backing is critical for supporting the resource-intensive later stages of clinical development, such as the planned global Phase 3 trial for ADX-324.
In May 2025, ADARx Pharmaceuticals entered into a significant strategic collaboration and license option agreement with AbbVie.[15] Under the terms of this agreement, AbbVie made an upfront payment of $335 million to ADARx, with ADARx being eligible for substantial additional option-related fees, milestone payments, and tiered royalties that could amount to "several billion dollars".[15] This collaboration is focused on the development of next-generation siRNA therapeutics across multiple disease areas, specifically neuroscience, immunology, and oncology.[15] It leverages ADARx's proprietary siRNA technology and RNA discovery expertise alongside AbbVie's extensive experience in biotherapeutic drug development, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and tissue delivery approaches.[15]
Importantly, the ADX-324 program for HAE remains wholly owned by ADARx Pharmaceuticals and is not part of this specific collaboration with AbbVie, which targets different therapeutic areas.[6] Nevertheless, this major partnership serves as a strong external validation of ADARx's core RNA technology platform (PLR™, SPE™, CTD™, MST™). Such a significant investment and commitment from a major pharmaceutical company like AbbVie indicates a high degree of confidence in the potential of ADARx's platform to generate viable and innovative drug candidates. This development indirectly supports the prospects of ADX-324, as it originates from the same foundational technologies. ADARx's strategy appears to involve advancing its lead, wholly-owned assets in areas like rare diseases (e.g., ADX-324 for HAE) while simultaneously leveraging its platform's broader applicability through strategic partnerships to generate non-dilutive funding and access expanded development and commercialization capabilities.
Should ADX-324 successfully navigate its clinical development program and gain regulatory approval, its potential for a bi-annual or possibly annual subcutaneous administration regimen could significantly alter the HAE prophylactic treatment landscape.[1] Such a reduction in dosing frequency would substantially lessen the treatment burden currently experienced by many HAE patients who rely on more frequently administered therapies. This improvement in convenience could lead to better long-term adherence and an enhanced quality of life for individuals living with this chronic condition. The inclusion of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as an outcome measure in the Phase 3 STOP-HAE trial underscores the importance of this aspect.[13] Effective and sustained PKK knockdown leading to a clinically meaningful reduction in HAE attack frequency and severity would be the primary driver of its clinical impact.
The HAE therapeutic field includes several established and emerging prophylactic options. Current treatments include C1-inhibitor replacement therapies (plasma-derived and recombinant), other plasma kallikrein inhibitors (such as the monoclonal antibody lanadelumab and the investigational antibody garadacimab [30]), and bradykinin B2 receptor antagonists (for acute treatment).[6] The pipeline also features other innovative approaches targeting PKK, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) like donidalorsen, which also aims for infrequent subcutaneous dosing, and gene therapies like NTLA-2002, which seeks a one-time curative approach by knocking out the KLKB1 gene.[6]
ADX-324's key differentiating attributes within this competitive environment will likely be its siRNA mechanism of action, which offers reversible gene silencing, and its potential for a very infrequent, low-volume subcutaneous dosing schedule. While the HAE market is becoming more crowded, a therapy that combines strong efficacy with a highly convenient administration profile could capture a significant share. The reversible nature of siRNA-mediated gene silencing might also be perceived by some patients and clinicians as a favorable characteristic compared to permanent genetic modifications offered by gene therapies, particularly concerning long-term safety considerations.
The successful advancement of ADX-324 hinges on several critical milestones and the navigation of inherent challenges in late-stage drug development. The foremost of these is the successful completion of the ongoing Phase 1/2a trial (NCT05691361) and, crucially, the demonstration of robust efficacy and a favorable safety profile in the pivotal Phase 3 STOP-HAE trial (NCT06960213). Establishing long-term safety will be paramount, especially given the novel nature of RNAi therapeutics and the chronic prophylactic use intended for ADX-324.
Beyond clinical success, ADARx will need to navigate the complex regulatory approval processes with global health authorities, including the FDA and EMA. Ensuring consistent and scalable manufacturing of a complex biologic like an siRNA therapeutic to meet potential commercial demand is another significant undertaking. Finally, achieving favorable market access and reimbursement in an increasingly competitive HAE landscape, where multiple effective therapies exist or are emerging, will be essential for ADX-324 to reach patients who could benefit from it. The "not yet recruiting" status of the Phase 3 trial as of May 2025 indicates that pivotal data confirming its efficacy and safety are still some time away.[12]
ADX-324 represents a promising investigational siRNA-based therapeutic for the prophylactic treatment of Hereditary Angioedema, a rare and debilitating genetic disorder. Developed by ADARx Pharmaceuticals, ADX-324 leverages the company's proprietary RNA delivery (PLR™/CTD™) and oligonucleotide optimization (SPE™/MST™) technologies to achieve targeted knockdown of plasma prekallikrein, a key mediator in HAE pathophysiology.
The primary appeal of ADX-324 lies in its potential to offer a highly differentiated treatment profile characterized by a long-acting, low-volume subcutaneous dosing regimen, possibly bi-annually or annually. This could significantly reduce the treatment burden for HAE patients, improving their quality of life and adherence to prophylactic therapy. Preclinical studies in non-human primates and early pharmacodynamic data from healthy volunteers in the ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical trial (NCT05691361) have supported this potential by demonstrating deep and sustained PKK knockdown.
The planned Phase 3 trial (NCT06960213, STOP-HAE) will be critical in definitively establishing the efficacy and safety of ADX-324 with infrequent dosing regimens. While regulatory designations such as Orphan Drug status were not confirmed for ADX-324 in the reviewed materials, the strong investor backing and strategic collaborations, such as the recent agreement with AbbVie (though for different indications), highlight the perceived value of ADARx's underlying RNA technology platform.
Successful development of ADX-324 would not only provide a valuable new therapeutic option for individuals with HAE but also serve as a significant validation of ADARx Pharmaceuticals' innovative approach to RNA-based medicines. The journey of ADX-324 exemplifies the broader advancements in applying sophisticated RNA technologies to address unmet medical needs in rare diseases, with a clear focus on enhancing both clinical outcomes and patient convenience. The progression of its late-stage clinical trials will be closely monitored by the medical and scientific communities.
