Adial Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ADIL) filed a new U.S. utility patent application for AD04, its genetically targeted 5-HT3 (serotonin-3) receptor antagonist for Alcohol Use Disorder in patients with heightened responsiveness to ondansetron. The company requested a Track One Prioritized examination to expedite review.
If granted, the patent is expected to protect core assets through at least 2045, which Adial says could support early enforcement, licensing discussions, and potential commercialization strategy.
