Seek­ing cash to fund PhI­II for once-failed drug, Ad­ynxx rides Alli­qua's shell to Nas­daq

When Ad­ynxx con­ced­ed that its non-opi­oid pain drug failed in Phase II, it vowed to hold out for a Phase III where it would fo­cus on a sub­group of pa­tients. Six months lat­er, it is plan­ning to tap the pub­lic mar­ket for the cash to back their move.

The biotech has inked an all-stock deal with Alli­qua Bio­Med­ical to re­verse merge its way on­to Nas­daq. When it wraps up in 2019, the trans­ac­tion would give Ad­ynxx share­hold­ers 86% con­trol of the new com­pa­ny, which will have the same name.
