BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTAI) is a pioneering clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and develop the next generation of transformative medicines. Focusing on neuroscience and immuno-oncology, BioXcel re-innovates existing approved drugs and clinically validated candidates using proprietary machine learning algorithms and big data. This innovative approach allows the company to discover new therapeutic indications more efficiently.
BioXcel's two leading clinical programs are BXCL501 and BXCL701. BXCL501, marketed as IGALMI, is an FDA-approved sublingual film formulation of dexmedetomidine used for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I and II disorder in adults. This product is undergoing further development to expand its use for agitation in dementia related to probable Alzheimer’s disease and for at-home use.
BXCL701 is an oral innate immune activator designed to inflame the tumor microenvironment, enhancing the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. It is currently being investigated for the treatment of rare forms of prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer. The company recently reported promising results from a Phase 2 trial of BXCL701 in combination with KEYTRUDA for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
BioXcel also continues to strengthen its intellectual property portfolio, with over 100 patent applications in prosecution and multiple patents issued globally. The company's financial performance reflects a commitment to advancing its clinical pipeline; for example, net revenue from IGALMI increased significantly in the first quarter of 2024, driven by growing demand and new customer acquisitions.
The company maintains a strong focus on advancing its TRANQUILITY and SERENITY programs, designed to evaluate BXCL501 in treating agitation in various settings, including at home. Additionally, BioXcel's strategic collaborations with institutions like Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center underline its dedication to innovative cancer therapies.
For ongoing updates, BioXcel engages with the investment community through regular conference calls and webcasts and actively participates in key industry conferences like the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
