Orally available ABC modulators unlocking new paths to disease modification
About Us
Caladrix Inc. was founded in 2025 to address the urgent unmet need in neurodegenerative disorders. Caladrix is pioneering a new therapeutic paradigm centered on activating the brain’s natural clearance pathways. The company’s mission is to deliver transformative, non-immunologic treatments that work in harmony with the brain’s innate biology, leveraging validated transporter biology and scalable oral delivery.
Caladrix’s strategy combines scientific innovation, strategic partnerships, and capital efficiency to rapidly advance from preclinical discovery to global clinical development.
Science & Mechanism
Caladrix’s scientific platform centers on ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. For Alzheimer’s Disease, a validated efflux mechanism responsible for clearing neurotoxic proteins, inflammatory molecules, and metabolites from brain tissue is in development. Unlike antibody therapies that rely on immune mechanisms and carry the risk of ARIA, Caladrix enhances a specific ABC-transporter function through small molecules. This non-immunologic, ARIA-free approach restores physiological protein clearance, reduces neuroinflammation, and reinstates cellular homeostasis. Human and animal data, along with genetic validation from over 730,000 individuals, affirmed the target ABC-transporter as a causal and protective factor in Alzheimer’s disease.

Pipeline
Caladrix’s lead clinical candidate, C-001, is an orally available ABC modulator targeting early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
The development program is informed by preclinical efficacy data, translational biomarker findings, and human proof-of-concept studies. C-001 is entering a Phase 1 trial in 2H 2026.
Platform approach: New chemical entities are in development for AD and other diseases, including modified-release oral formulations for global scalability and patient adherence.
Partners
Caladrix has established collaborations with world-leading institutions and CROs. These alliances enable high-quality data generation, scalable trial execution, and accelerated regulatory pathways.
