Gosselies, Belgium, April 26, 2023 – Bioxodes SA, a company specializing in the development of novel therapies for the prevention and treatment of thrombotic and inflammatory diseases, today announces it has been selected to present at key international business and scientific conferences this spring and early summer: Bio€quity on May 14-16, in Dublin, Ireland, the European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) on May 24-26, in Munich, Germany, and the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) congress on June 24-28, in Montreal, Canada.
 
“We are thrilled to participate in these key events to present the progress of our first-in-class drug candidate, Ir-CPI, for patients with IntraCerebral Hemorrhage (ICH),” said Marc Dechamps, CEO of Bioxodes. “There is currently a major unmet medical need, with no treatment option that can prevent acute secondary brain damage within the first 72 hours in patients exhibiting this pathology. We are working on our Series A funding round to help finance our phase IIa clinical trial for Ir-CPI and to be fully ready for the start of phase IIb.”

About Ir-CPI
Ir-CPI is a first-in-class drug candidate. Thanks to its unique mode of action, it prevents both the formation of unwanted blood clots and any increased risks of bleeding (action on factors XIa and XIIa). By inhibiting neutrophils activation, it also prevents the acute neuroinflammatory events associated with intracerebral hemorrhage. Derived from a tick’s saliva, this product could become the first injectable antithrombotic drug suitable for use in patients within the first 72 hours of intracerebral hemorrhage. The market for an injectable form of such a molecule, primarily for use in hospitals, is estimated to be worth more than one billion dollars per annum.
