New research from the NEPTUNE cohort has strengthened the biological rationale for Dimerix’s DMX-200 kidney drug, linking CCR2 activity and urinary MCP-1 levels with poorer outcomes in FSGS. The findings support the drug’s mechanism, but do not yet demonstrate Phase 3 efficacy.

CSL has secured an exclusive agreement to co-develop and co-promote Alentis Therapeutics’ investigational drug lixudebart, committing US$355 million upfront and funding a multi-trial development programme. The antibody remains unapproved, with its commercial potential dependent on results from ongoing and planned clinical studies.

Dimerix has drawn A$17 million from a non-dilutive facility, giving the biotech funding it says is sufficient to complete the ACTION3 Phase 3 trial of DMX-200 and continue developing DMX-652. A further A$17 million remains available, although repayment depends partly on future licensing income, milestones or capital-market access.

Dimerix has received a US$10 million upfront payment from Everest Medicines under a regional licensing deal for DMX-200 targeting FSGS in Greater China, South Korea and Southeast Asia. This deal marks Dimerix’s fifth commercial partnership for DMX-200, collectively worth up to A$1.9 billion in milestones and royalties.

Dimerix CEO Dr Nina Webster detailed the company’s geographic and product diversification at the Bioshares Summit, spotlighting the commercial potential of DMX-200 and the newly acquired Phase 2 asset DMX-652 targeting acute kidney injury.

Dimerix Limited (ASX: DXB) has inked its fifth regional licensing agreement with Everest Medicines, boosting potential milestone payments to A$1.9 billion and expanded its kidney disease pipeline through the acquisition of DMX-652. The Phase 3 ACTION3 trial for DMX-200 remains statistically robust, with funding secured to advance both clinical programs.

Dimerix has strengthened its kidney disease pipeline with a US patent grant for DMX-652, extending protection until 2043 and setting the stage for a Phase 2 trial targeting acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery.

Dimerix has acquired DMX-652, a Phase 2-ready oral drug candidate targeting acute kidney injury, expanding its renal disease portfolio. The acquisition includes patent rights, an FDA-approved trial protocol, and funding to initiate clinical development.

Dimerix will provide continued access to its investigational drug DMX-200 for eligible patients with focal segmental glomerular sclerosis after completing the pivotal ACTION3 Phase 3 trial, supporting ongoing treatment ahead of regulatory approval.

Dimerix has completed adult patient recruitment in its Phase 3 ACTION3 trial for DMX-200, with a blinded review confirming the study remains statistically powered to demonstrate treatment efficacy. The company also appointed a new CFO and is negotiating up to US$50 million in non-dilutive funding.

Dimerix’s blinded review of its pivotal ACTION3 Phase 3 trial confirms over 90% statistical power to detect DMX-200’s effect on proteinuria, reinforcing the study’s design and regulatory pathway.

Dimerix Limited is set to conduct a blinded statistical review of its pivotal Phase 3 ACTION3 study in March 2026, aiming to confirm the trial remains powered to demonstrate the primary endpoint of proteinuria reduction in FSGS patients.
