XORTX Announces Acquisition of Renal Anti-Fibrotic Therapeutic Program from Vectus Biosystems
Acquisition includes novel new chemical entity VB4-P5 with potential to address significant unmet needs in rare and large-market kidney diseases
CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XORTX Therapeutics Inc. (“XORTX” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XRTX | TSXV: XRTX | Frankfurt: ANU), a late stage clinical pharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies to treat gout and progressive kidney disease, announces that it has entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) to acquire a Renal Anti-Fibrotic Therapeutic Program from Vectus Biosystems Limited, an Australian Securities Exchange listed company (“Vectus”). The program includes a novel new chemical entity, VB4-P5, along with its associated intellectual property, regulatory documentation, and manufacturing data. The program is currently at the pre-IND (Investigational New Drug) stage of development and targets both rare and prevalent forms of kidney disease — areas with substantial unmet medical need.
Dr. Allen Davidoff, Chief Executive Officer of XORTX, stated, “The opportunity to acquire the VB4-P5 program was highly compelling. This program is underpinned by a novel, patented small molecule with robust global patent protection and strong preclinical evidence. It is directly aligned with our strategic focus on developing innovative therapies for progressive kidney disease, and it builds upon our mission to bring new classes of treatments to patients suffering from rare renal disorders.”
The Term Sheet provides for XORTX to acquire from Vectus the intellectual property specifically related to the VB4-P5 compound and the data generated by Vectus from its work on the VB4-P5 small molecule and related assets. The consideration receivable by Vectus is USD $3.0 million, payable in common shares or common share equivalents of XORTX (the “Securities”) at a deemed issue price of USD $0.86 per Security (the “Issue Price”), with the Issue Price subject to adjustment in certain circumstances provided, however, that the Issue Price will not below lower than the Discounted Market Price (as defined in the policies of the TSXV) on the last trading day prior to this issuance of this press release.
The Term Sheet is subject to finalization of closing documentation, satisfaction of conditions that are typical for a transaction of this type including receipt of all regulatory approvals, and compliance with applicable stock exchange requirements and applicable securities laws. Closing of the acquisition will occur no more than 90 days from the execution of the Term Sheet. If requested by Vectus, XORTX will use its reasonable commercial efforts to register the Securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States. In addition, Vectus will enter into a voluntary lockup agreement that, among other things, restricts sales of the Securities by Vectus for 180 days after the Closing Date.
About Kidney Disease and Fibrosis
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects an estimated 14% of adults globally, including approximately 35–37 million individuals in the United States alone1.
Kidney fibrosis — characterized by excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix following renal injury — is a hallmark of CKD progression, leading to organ dysfunction, high morbidity, and mortality2. Rare kidney diseases such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)3 and lupus nephritis4 also manifest fibrosis, contributing to the deterioration of kidney and cardiovascular function. Currently, available treatments for kidney fibrosis focus primarily on blood pressure control and dietary interventions. No approved therapies specifically target or reverse kidney fibrosis.
About the VB4-P5 Program
Early preclinical data from the VB4-P5 program demonstrate the potential of this potent small molecule to inhibit and possibly reverse kidney fibrosis. Patent protection for VB4-P5 includes composition-of-matter and method-of-use claims across more than 30 global jurisdictions, positioning the program for broad development and commercialization opportunities.

$XRTX XORTX Submits a New Patent for the Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/01/03/2803143/0/en/XORTX-Submits-a-New-Patent-for-the-Treatment-of-Chronic-Kidney-Disease.html
CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XORTX Therapeutics Inc. ("XORTX" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XRTX | TSXV: XRTX | Frankfurt: ANU), a late-stage clinical pharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies to treat progressive kidney disease, announces submission of a new patent for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (“CKD”). This patent is designed to protect new discoveries and strategies for the treatment of individuals with varied degrees of kidney function in the setting of CKD. Importantly, this patent entitled “Oral and Sublingual Formulations of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors and Methods of Treating Disease” outlines new formulations and methods for safer and more effective the use of xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI) in the setting of CKD in particular autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), diabetic nephropathy (DN), IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
The positive topline results from the XRX-OXY-101 bridging pharmacokinetic clinical study reported in Q1 2023 (the “Study”) characterized the pharmacokinetics of the Company’s proprietary formulation of oral oxypurinol, XORLO™. Results from the Study showed that XORLO™ was well tolerated by the 88 subjects who received the drug. There were no safety concerns during the testing of drug across the various dosing regimens used. Overall results were positive and showed: i) a substantial increase in the bioavailability of oxypurinol with the XORLO™ formulation platform; (ii) a substantially increased dose proportionality compared to non-formulated oxypurinol; (iii) a multiple dosing regimen that achieved therapeutic target values. In simple terms, substantially increased early oral absorption of XORLO™, and increased circulating concentrations of oxypurinol necessary to inhibit production of uric acid across the desired therapeutic range and thereby slow down the advancements of CKD. Each of these results will provide key data to facilitate precise dosing recommendations for upcoming registration trials in individuals with progressing kidney disease due to ADPKD as well as other causes of CKD.
Dr. Allen Davidoff, CEO of XORTX, commented, “The Bridging Pharmacokinetic Study reported this year provided a wealth of clinical data regarding the potential substantive benefit of the novel formulations of the xanthine inhibitor class of drugs. Analysis of this data set, the use of in silico based pharmacokinetic modeling of data from the XRX-OXY-101 clinical trial, and further innovation, resulted in a deeper understanding of how to address the challenges of dosing in progressing kidney disease. This patent application is intended to claim new opportunities to enhance how the xanthine oxidase inhibitor class of drugs may be dosed in the future. Importantly, how to further improve the safe and effective administration of this class of drugs, including oxypurinol.”
