Therapeutics is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the 
development and commercialization of an emerging class of novel orally 
available small molecule drugs known as allosteric modulators for 
neurological disorders. Allosteric modulators offer several potential 
advantages over conventional non-allosteric molecules and may offer an 
improved therapeutic approach to conventional "orthosteric" small 
molecule or biological drugs. Addex's allosteric modulator drug 
discovery platform targets receptors and other proteins that are 
recognized as essential for therapeutic intervention. Addex's lead 
product candidate, dipraglurant (mGlu5 negative allosteric modulator or 
NAM), is poised to start a pivotal registration clinical trial for 
Parkinson's disease levodopa induced dyskinesia (PD-LID) in Q2 2021. 
Addex is also investigating dipraglurant's therapeutic use in 
blepharospasm (a type of dystonia), for which a clinical trial is 
expected to be initiated in Q2 2021. Addex's third clinical program, 
ADX71149 (mGlu2 positive allosteric modulator or PAM), developed in 
collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is scheduled to enter 
a phase 2a proof of concept clinical trial for the treatment of epilepsy 
in Q2 2021. Addex's GABAB PAM program has been licensed to Indivior PLC, 
which is focused on development for the treatment of addiction. 
Preclinical programs include GABAB PAM for CMT1A, mGlu7 NAM for PTSD, 
mGlu2 NAM for mild neurocognitive disorders, mGlu4 PAM for Parkinson's 
disease and mGlu3 PAM for neurodegenerative disorders. Addex shares are 
listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and American Depositary Shares 
representing its shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and 
trade under the ticker symbol "ADXN" on each exchange.
