Adial Pharmaceuticals Expands Intellectual Property Portfolio with New U.S. Patent Granted for Genetic-Based Treatment of Alcohol and Opioid Use Disorders
AD04
For Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
AUD is a disease effecting greater than 35 million people in the US alone. For about 20% of this group there is a specific genetic component which Adial has identified and developed a genetic biomarker test which indicates its lead compound AD04 should be highly effective in controlling cravings and heavy and binge drinking and supporting abstinence.
AD04
The Company’s lead compound AD04 (“AD04”) is a genetically targeted therapeutic agent for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and was recently investigated in a Phase 3 clinical trial for the potential treatment of AUD in subjects with certain target genotypes, which were identified using the Company’s proprietary companion diagnostic genetic test.
The resulting data indicate a statistically significant response in the reduction of heavy drinking days in a subgroup of patients. The subgroup consisted of patients who drank fewer than 10 drinks per drinking day and comprised about two-thirds of the patients enrolled into the study. Adial is in the process of engaging regulatory authorities to refine the future development of AD04.
Adial possesses a world-wide, exclusive license from the University of Virginia Patent Foundation to commercialize AD04, subject to FDA approval of the product, based upon three (3) separate patents and patent application families, with patents filed and issued in over 40 jurisdictions, including 3 issued patents in the U.S. AD04 has been used in several investigator-sponsored trials and we possess or have rights to use toxicology, pharmacokinetic and other preclinical and clinical data that support AD04 development.
AUD is a potentially multi-billion-dollar market with limited competition & unmet need (accounts for ~5.3% of deaths worldwide and ~5.1% of disease worldwide)
The Lancet reports that alcohol is the number one cause of death in the U.S. & globally among both men and women ages 15 to 49 years
Differentiated product
• Designed to reduce drinking levels (believed through reduction of craving)
• Potential to facilitate abstinence
• Limited side effects to date

Adial Pharmaceuticals Expands Intellectual Property Portfolio with New U.S. Patent Granted for Genetic-Based Treatment of Alcohol and Opioid Use Disorders
May 01, 2025
Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADIL) (“Adial” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for the treatment and prevention of addiction and related disorders, today announced patent number 12,274,692 was issued on April 15, 2025 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) covering a novel method of treating alcohol-related diseases and opioid-related disorders using AD04 in genetically identified patients.
This newly issued patent strengthens Adial’s intellectual property portfolio by covering the administration of AD04, the Company’s investigational drug, as a precision medicine approach for patients with specific genetic markers. The patent claims a method of treating addiction by administering a therapeutically effective amount of AD04 to patients with serotonin-related gene variations, including specific genotypes of HTR3A, HTR3B, and SLC6A4, such as the LL genotype of 5-HTTLPR in combination with variations in rs1150226, rs17614942, and rs1176713. The granted claims include specific genetic profiles associated with treatment efficacy and the corresponding dosing regimens. Specifically for AUD, the patent claims cover a method of treatment for a broad definition of alcohol related disorders including, but not limited to, disorders associated with alcohol use such as alcohol induced or associated anxiety, bi-polar, sexual dysfunction, sleep disorder, or gambling disorder as well as alcohol withdrawal.
“This patent represents yet another significant milestone for Adial Pharmaceuticals as we advance our mission to provide targeted treatments for individuals suffering from alcohol and opioid use disorders,” said Cary Claiborne, Chief Executive Officer of Adial Pharmaceuticals. “By identifying genetic markers associated with AD04 response, we are pioneering a precision medicine approach for AUD that has the potential to enhance treatment efficacy and improve patient outcomes. We remain committed to advancing AD04 through clinical development and regulatory pathways to address the urgent need for effective, personalized addiction treatments.”

Adial Pharmaceuticals Advances to Second Cohort in Pharmacokinetics Study of AD04 for the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder
Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.
Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADIL) (“Adial” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for the treatment and prevention of addiction and related disorders, announced the progression to the second cohort in the pharmacokinetics study of AD04, the Company’s lead investigational genetically targeted, serotonin-3 receptor antagonist, therapeutic agent for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in heavy drinking patients (defined as < 10 drinks/drinking day), following the successful completion of the first cohort. Topline results from both cohorts are expected to be announced during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Cary Claiborne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Adial commented, “We are pleased with the progress of our pharmacokinetics study of AD04. The successful completion of the first cohort allows us to advance to the second cohort as planned, staying on track with our projected timeline. The results from both cohorts will offer invaluable insights that are critical for the design of our upcoming Phase 3 Clinical Trial. We anticipate engaging with the FDA following receipt of the topline data from this study and seek their feedback on the overall design of our Phase 3 program.”
The pharmacokinetics study was initiated in June 2024 and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2024. The single-center open-label relative bioavailability and dose proportionality study will enroll up to 30 healthy adult volunteers and compare the pharmacokinetic profile of AD04 when administered as an oral dose of 0.33 mg with or without food against a reference standard product. This study will provide valuable information on the pharmacokinetic properties of AD04.
