Tarix Pharmaceuticals is focused on unmet needs in Oncology, HIV, and
other indications. Tarix's lead compound, TXA127, is currently in a Phase II
clinical trial for the treatment and prevention of thrombocytopenia
associated with cancer chemotherapy, a Phase II trial to enhance
engraftment in patients receiving a peripheral blood stem cell engraftment,
and a Phase I clinical trial to increase the CD4 counts in AIDS patients
maintained on multi-drug therapy (HAART).
Tarix will shortly begin two clinical trials to enhance engraftment in patients
receiving a cord blood transplant.
