Spanish biotech Oryzon Genomics is focused on epigenetics. Iadademstat is being explored for acute leukaemias, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and neuroendocrine tumours. Central nervous system (CNS) asset vafidemstat has completed several Phase IIa trials and a Phase IIb trial in borderline personality disorder, and is in a Phase IIb trial for schizophrenia.

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

Oryzon has reported its Q324 results, the highlight of which was the borderline personality disorder (BPD) programme, with the final Phase IIb PORTICO data demonstrating vafidemstat’s potential to offer meaningful results in a condition with no approved drugs currently. A further boost was the positive FDA feedback for Phase III, and the next step will be the submission of a full trial protocol for PORTICO-2 (expected in Q125). Oryzon also made strides in strengthening its intellectual property (IP) profile, extending vafidemstat’s patent protection up to at least 2040. In oncology, the first patient was dosed in the investigator-initiated Phase Ib study of iadademstat with venetoclax and azacitidine in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). For FRIDA (iadademstat with gilteritinib in AML), the strategic priority in oncology, the next update will be at EHA 2025. Our valuation adjusts to €796m or €12.3/share (from €775m or €12.1/share).
