About Dyax
Dyax is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on the
development and commercialization of novel biotherapeutics for unmet
medical needs. Dyax's lead product, ecallantide, has been approved under
the brand name KALBITOR® in the United States for the treatment of acute
attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in patients 16 years of age and
older.
Dyax is commercializing KALBITOR in the United States independently, and
establishing strategic collaborations to develop and commercialize
ecallantide for the treatment of HAE in key regions worldwide.
Currently, Dyax has agreements for regions including Europe, Japan,
Russia, the Middle East, Israel, North Africa, Australia, New Zealand,
Latin America (excluding Mexico) and the Caribbean. Dyax is also
exploring other potential indications for ecallantide, either alone or
through collaborations, including drug-induced angioedema.
Ecallantide and other compounds in Dyax's pipeline were identified using
its patented phage display technology, which rapidly selects compounds
that bind with high affinity and specificity to therapeutic targets.
Dyax leverages this technology broadly through the Licensing and Funded
Research Program (LFRP), which has over 70 revenue generating licenses
and collaborations for therapeutic discovery, as well as for affinity
separations, diagnostic imaging, and research reagents. The success of
the Company's LFRP portfolio is illustrated by the program's advanced
licensee pipeline that includes 18 candidates in clinical development.
Of those candidates, four are in Phase 3 clinical trials, four are in
Phase 2 and ten are in Phase 1.
Dyax is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts. For online
