(Nasdaq: CDT) ("Conduit" or the “Company”) today announces the filing of four new patent applications relating to its key assets AZD1656 and AZD5658, including the Company’s first patent filings for AZD5658. These filings represent a significant expansion of Conduit’s intellectual property portfolio, further supporting its strategy to advance and license differentiated, IP-rich pharmaceutical assets.

With a growing patent estate across autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, Conduit remains focused on unlocking value through IP protection coupled with a capital-efficient development model. About Conduit Pharmaceuticals Conduit is a dynamic, multi-asset clinical stage, life science company delivering an efficient model for compound development. Conduit both acquires and funds the development of Phase 2-ready assets, building an integrated and advanced platform-driven approach powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and cybernetics, and seeking an exit through third-party license deals following successful clinical trials. Led by a highly experienced team of executives including Dr. Andrew Regan and Dr. Freda Lewis-Hall, this novel approach is a departure from the traditional pharma/biotech business model of taking assets through regulatory approval.
