EXHIBIT 99.1
Addex Regains Rights to Phase 2 mGlu2 PAM Asset ADX71149
Ad Hoc Announcement Pursuant to Art. 53 LR
Geneva, Switzerland, April 17, 2025 - Addex Therapeutics (SIX/NASDAQ: ADXN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a portfolio of novel small molecule allosteric modulators for neurological disorders, announced today that following the previously announced termination of development of ADX71149 (JNJ-40411813) in epilepsy, its partner Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (now known as J&J Innovative Medicine) has return all development and commercialization rights to ADX71149 (JNJ-40411813) and the partnership between the two companies has been terminated.
“ADX71149 is a high quality asset which has completed three Phase 2 studies so we are excited to regain control of its development from our partner with its high quality data package and significant material”, said Tim Dyer, CEO of Addex. “We are evaluating a number of high value therapeutic indications for the future development of the program as well as pursuing discussions with a number of potential partners for the program.”
