Frequently asked questions about GX-03

What is GX-03 used for?

GX-03 is an investigational small molecule being studied for two indications: COVID-19 and moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). It is being developed by Turn Therapeutics Inc. (TTRX) and is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for both conditions.

What does GX-03 target?

GX-03 targets IL-36, a cytokine involved in inflammatory responses. By modulating IL-36 signaling, the drug aims to address the inflammatory components of atopic dermatitis and potentially COVID-19, though the exact mechanism in each condition is still under investigation.

Who makes GX-03?

GX-03 is developed by Turn Therapeutics Inc., a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker TTRX. The company is conducting Phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in COVID-19 and atopic dermatitis.

What phase is GX-03 in?

GX-03 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is not FDA approved and remains an investigational drug. Two Phase 2 trials are associated with GX-03: one completed study for COVID-19 and one actively recruiting study for atopic dermatitis.

What clinical trials is GX-03 in?

GX-03 is being evaluated in two Phase 2 trials. NCT04951349, a completed study in Panama, tested intranasal GX-03 for COVID-19 treatment and prevention with 85 participants. NCT07355075, an active trial in the United States, is a double-blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled study of GX-03 in 190 adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

Is GX-03 the same as another drug?

No alternative names for GX-03 have been reported. The drug is consistently referred to as GX-03 across its clinical trial documentation and by its developer, Turn Therapeutics Inc.
