Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Adial Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage

biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for addictions. The Company's lead investigational new

drug product, AD04, is a genetically targeted therapeutic agent for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and is currently

being investigated in a Phase 3 clinical for the potential treatment of AUD in subjects with certain target genotypes, which are

to be identified using the Company's proprietary companion diagnostic genetic test. A Phase 2b clinical trial of AD04 for

the treatment of AUD showed promising results in reducing frequency of drinking, quantity of drinking and heavy drinking (all with

statistical significance), and no overt safety concerns (there were no statistically significant serious adverse events reported).

AD04 is also believed to have the potential to treat other addictive disorders such as opioid use disorder, gambling, and obesity.
