The company’s lead drug, DMX 200, is proposed as an adjunct therapy for patients receiving irbesartan, the current standard of care treatment for kidney disease.
In the US Dimerix has ‘orphan indication” for the kidney scarring disease FSGS (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis) and is also furthering a treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Meanwhile, Pharmaxis (ASX:PXS) has developed a treatment for cystic fibrosis called Bronchitol, which is approved in Europe and subject to US approval.
