The Company is a late-stage clinical specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutic products that treat rare and orphan diseases for which there are currently either no approved or very limited treatments or cures. The Company’s lead product, QRX003, is under clinical development as a potential treatment for Netherton Syndrome (“NS”), a rare hereditary genetic disease. QRX003 is entering pivotal registrational clinical testing under an open Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The Company has opened six clinical sites in the United States (“US”) along with international sites that are being opened in the UK, Spain, France and the Netherlands. QRX003 is currently being tested in six pediatric NS patients in investigator-initiated studies in Ireland, Austria, the Netherlands and New Zealand. QRX003 is also being developed as a potential treatment for Peeling Skin Syndrome with the first subject being treated in New Zealand. The Company is in the process of expanding this study to include up to an additional five pediatric subjects. The Company has entered into a Research Agreement with the Queensland University of Technology (“QUT”) in Australia, under which the Company has obtained an option for a global license to QRX008 for the potential treatment of scleroderma, as well as a Research Agreement with The School of Pharmacy at University College Cork (“UCC”) for the development of novel topical formulations of rapamycin (sirolimus), QRX009, as potential treatments for a number of rare and orphan diseases for which there are either limited or no approved therapies or cures, including Pachyonychia Congenita, Gorlin Syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, microcystic lymphatic malformations, venous malformations and angiofibromas, as well as other indications that the Company is assessing.

In addition, the Company is targeting to submit an IND to the FDA for QRX009 for an additional indication in Q3, 2026.
