Oryzon Genomics is a Spanish biotech focused on epigenetics. Iadademstat is being explored for acute leukaemias, small-cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumours. Vafidemstat, its central nervous system asset, has completed several Phase IIa trials and a Phase IIb trial in borderline personality disorder is now the lead study.

Oryzon is among the leading clinical stage drug developers with a second generation of epigenetic therapeutics, which have greater selectivity and potentially a favourable safety/efficacy profile than the first generation HDAC inhibitors.

Oryzon Genomics has announced it has enrolled the first patient in its Phase Ib FRIDA study investigating iadademstat in combination with Astellas’ FDA-approved FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib to treat FLT3+ relapsed/refractory (r/r) acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. The FRIDA study is central to Oryzon’s overall strategy as management believes the second-line AML setting may represent a potentially quicker route to market for iadademstat, targeting an AML patient population with limited and sub-optimal treatment options. FRIDA will recruit up to 45 patients across 10–15 trial sites in the United States and, in our view, its initiation marks a significant clinical milestone for the company.
