Executive Summary
Other companies' disappointments could turn out to be blessings for Amplyx Pharmaceuticals. The start-up thinks it has a solution for ADME problems that derail candidates in clinical trials or that lead to side effects and reduced efficacy in marketed drugs. Amplyx believes it can improve problematic small-molecule drugs by extending their half-life without making the compounds too big to be delivered orally.
