Cadrenal Therapeutics advances in tecarfarin production

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. - Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVKD), a biopharmaceutical company with a market capitalization of $26.6 million, has reached significant milestones in the manufacturing and supply chain development for tecarfarin, its leading drug candidate for cardiovascular disease treatment. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with cash reserves exceeding its debt obligations. The company announced that it has completed the technical transfer and production of the tecarfarin drug substance according to current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) at a U.S. facility of a top global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO).

The manufacturing of tecarfarin, a novel oral vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant, is now in progress. Tecarfarin is designed to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and deaths due to blood clots in patients requiring long-term anticoagulation therapy. The drug aims to fulfill the unmet needs in anticoagulation therapy that are not addressed by traditional treatments like warfarin, which can have serious side effects. While the company’s stock has shown impressive strength with a 112% return over the past year, InvestingPro analysis indicates the company is currently burning through cash rapidly, a common characteristic of early-stage pharmaceutical companies.

Quang X. Pham, Chairman & CEO of Cadrenal, expressed satisfaction with the progress in the supply chain and cGMP manufacturing process for tecarfarin, highlighting its importance in supporting the company’s clinical development strategy and the potential benefits for patients with chronic VKA anticoagulation needs.

Tecarfarin has received Orphan Drug designation for use in advanced heart failure patients with mechanical circulatory support devices and for end-stage kidney disease with atrial fibrillation. It also has fast-track status for the latter indication.

Cadrenal’s focus on developing specialized cardiovascular therapeutics includes a "pipeline-in-a-product" approach with tecarfarin at the forefront. The company is also exploring business development opportunities with a long-term strategy to create a comprehensive pipeline of cardiovascular drugs.

The company’s progress with tecarfarin reflects its commitment to addressing the needs of patients with cardiovascular diseases requiring anticoagulation therapy.
