Cadrenal Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVKD), a biopharmaceutical company developing transformative therapeutics to overcome current gaps in anticoagulation therapy, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided an update on the clinical development of tecarfarin and the acquisition and development of frunexian.
Highlights
- Progressed clinical development of tecarfarin.
- Completed the manufacturing of tecarfarin drug product in accordance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP).
- Ongoing activities in support of a single-site U.S. Phase 2 study of tecarfarin in LVAD patients as part of the collaboration agreement with Abbott.
- Investigator discussions for a potential multi-site Phase 2 study of tecarfarin in dialysis patients already treated with warfarin.
- Expanded Cadrenal’s portfolio through the acquisition of the assets of eXIthera Pharmaceuticals, including its proprietary portfolio of investigational intravenous (IV) and oral Factor XIa inhibitors, in September 2025.
- The lead asset, frunexian, is a first-in-class, Phase 2-ready IV Factor XIa inhibitor designed for acute care settings where contact activation of coagulation by medical devices plays a significant role, such as cardiopulmonary bypass, catheter thrombosis, and other blood-contacting implanted cardiac devices.
“We have uniquely positioned ourselves to address gaps in anticoagulation treatment of multiple indications through the development of two differentiated anticoagulants (tecarfarin and frunexian) while benefitting from pathways that provide clear regulatory designations,” commented Quang X. Pham, Chairman & CEO. “Having multiple pathways has allowed us to be prudent and flexible in our strategic approach to achieving critical development milestones as we look to advance our therapies for patients where conventional anticoagulation does not provide sufficient safety or efficacy.”
“Our focus as we finish 2025 is the progression of tecarfarin into clinical applications where significant anticoagulation challenges exist,” Pham continued. “We are in discussions with key partners to move forward a development strategy which we believe is critical to the broader anticoagulation industry to address gaps in care and unlock key value for shareholders.”
