PARAMUS, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Liberyx Therapeutics, an innovative drug development company targeting rare pediatric diseases, today announced that it has completed its Series A fundraising to support the further development of multiple pipeline programs ready for clinical development.

“With multiple promising candidates for rare neurometabolic disorders, Liberyx Therapeutics is at the forefront of developing safe and efficacious therapies for our patients. The support from our investors is a strong validation of our portfolio and our vision for efficient drug development,” said Alex Yang, Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Liberyx Therapeutics

Yang continued, “Our drug candidates originate from Dr. Kalipada Pahan’s work at Rush University, who is a leading neuroimmunology researcher with a strong track record of discovering promising therapies. The validation of these candidates in preclinical studies demonstrated significant potential for effective treatment of children with rare neuro-metabolic diseases. We are optimistic towards what we will find as clinical development commences.”

Liberyx Therapeutics is dedicated to quickly bringing safe, efficacious, and patient-friendly drugs to young children with rare metabolic disorders. The two primary indications under investigation for the lead candidate LBX-100 are glycine encephalopathy (also known as non-ketotic hyperglycinemia) and urea cycle disorders. There is strong unmet need for both of these indications where few, if any, effective treatments are available. In the immediate future, Liberyx Therapeutics anticipates that LBX-100 will target glycine encephalopathy upon a successful Phase 1 trial which will commence in the second half of 2022.

“Liberyx Therapeutics has a promising pipeline of therapies that may transform the treatments that are available for rare neurometabolic disorder patients. We are optimistic that we will make great strides in upcoming clinical development,” said Andrew O, Head of Investor Relations and Business Development Director of Liberyx Therapeutics.
