Relief is a biopharmaceutical company founded by former Merck executives (Serono division) whose objective is to provide patients with therapeutic relief in serious diseases with high unmet medical need.
Relief Therapeutics SA has executed, on 28 August 2015, a license agreement with Ares Trading SA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merck KGaA ("Merck”), for the exclusive, worldwide right to research, develop, use and commercialize atexakin alfa ("Atexakin”, or the "Molecule” or "SON-080” or the "Asset”). Atexakin is a low-dosage formulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a natural mammalian cytokine of 185 amino acids with pleiotropic functions in different tissues and organs for which clinical Phase I/II studies were conducted in thrombocytopenic cancer patients by Serono International ("Serono”), later acquired by Merck. Additional pre-clinical results generated by Serono in specific animal models have demonstrated the ability of Atexakin to regrow nerves and reinstate their normal functions, suggesting its potential to treat a cluster of diseases referred to as neuropathies.
