Ten patent-pending programs
Axia Discovery has filed 11 U.S. provisional patent applications in 2026, establishing a patent-pending pipeline of de novo-designed cyclic peptide therapeutics — led by oncology radioligand therapy, with CNS, cardiometabolic, and renal programs.
PCT international filings anticipated. Preclinical · in-silico-designed, wet-lab validation underway.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (CKD-MBD)
Novel de novo-designed cyclic peptide positive allosteric modulators (calcimimetics) of an undisclosed, clinically-validated receptor, targeting secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). The calcimimetic mechanism is validated by approved therapies in the same class.
How Our Pipeline Works
Target Selection
We focus on validated receptor targets with strong disease-linkage evidence and favorable structural biology for cyclic-peptide engagement.
De Novo Design
Our platform designs novel cyclic-peptide candidates from scratch with physics-based simulation and generative AI — engineered for selectivity against the closest receptor relatives.
Bench Validation
Computational predictions are validated at the bench through CRO and academic collaborations. Experimental data feeds directly back into the design cycle.
IP Protection
Novel compositions are protected by U.S. provisional patent applications filed in 2026, with PCT international filings anticipated. Detailed IP status is shared under CDA.
