About Dyax
Dyax is a biopharmaceutical company focused on
the development and commercialization of novel biotherapeutics for unmet
medical needs. The Company is developing DX-2930,
an investigational fully human monoclonal antibody, for the prevention
of HAE attacks. Dyax plans to initiate a single, pivotal Phase 3
clinical trial evaluating DX-2930 in HAE by year-end 2015. Additionally,
Dyax markets KALBITOR®
(ecallantide) for the treatment of acute attacks of HAE in patients

Both DX-2930 and KALBITOR were identified using Dyax's proprietary phage display technology. Dyax has broadly licensed this technology under its Licensing and Funded Research Portfolio (LFRP). The current portfolio includes one FDA approved product, Eli Lilly and Company’s CYRAMZA® (ramucirumab), for which Dyax receives royalties, and multiple product candidates in various stages of clinical development for which the Company is eligible to receive future milestones and royalties.
