Frequently asked questions about VLX-1005

What is VLX-1005?

VLX-1005 is an investigational small molecule being developed by Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, a hematology condition in which heparin treatment triggers a low platelet count. It has completed a Phase 1 clinical study and has received Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the FDA.

What is VLX-1005 used for in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia?

VLX-1005 is being developed to treat heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, a serious blood disorder in which the anticoagulant heparin causes an immune reaction that lowers platelets and raises clotting risk. It is investigational and has not been approved for any use. Its only completed trial studied co-administration with argatroban in healthy volunteers.

What does VLX-1005 target?

VLX-1005 targets 12-LOX, also known as 12-lipoxygenase, an enzyme. By acting on this enzyme target, the small molecule is designed to address the platelet and clotting processes involved in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The completed Phase 1 study evaluated VLX-1005 given together with argatroban in healthy human subjects.

Who is developing VLX-1005?

VLX-1005 is being developed by Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc., which trades under the ticker CVKD. The company is advancing the small molecule for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Development to date includes one completed Phase 1 trial conducted in the United States.

What phase is VLX-1005 in?

VLX-1005 is in Phase 1 development. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently active. The FDA has granted VLX-1005 Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations for its development in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. It remains investigational and is not approved for commercial use.

What clinical trials is VLX-1005 in?

VLX-1005 has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT05325346, titled a Phase I study of the co-administration of VLX-1005 and argatroban in healthy human subjects. The trial enrolled 12 participants in the United States, was randomized and active controlled, and included healthy volunteers aged 19 years and older.
