- ABIONYX Pharma SA (ABNX.PA) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing innovative apoA-I-based therapies for severe diseases lacking effective treatments, including sepsis, renal disorders, ophthalmological conditions, and metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The company offers CER-001, an engineered high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particle containing recombinant human apoA-I with sphingomyelin and dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol phospholipids that mimics pre-beta HDL to address inflammation, acute kidney injury, and immune dysregulation in sepsis and post-acute coronary syndrome; CER-002, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta agonist targeting cardiovascular and metabolic indications; and CER-209, a P2Y13 receptor agonist drug candidate for NASH, atherosclerosis, liver metabolic diseases, and related conditions; alongside HDL vectors for targeted drug delivery in oncology and ophthalmology. ABIONYX Pharma operates primarily in Europe with clinical activities extending to the United States and global partnerships, targeting patients with critical care needs, rare genetic disorders like LCAT deficiency (Norum disease), and underserved therapeutic areas in biotechnology. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Balma, France, the company, formerly Cerenis Therapeutics Holding SA until its name change in August 2019, employs approximately 51 people under CEO Cyrille Tupin. Recent developments include an exclusive global strategic partnership with SEBIA announced in November 2025 to advance sepsis diagnostics using apoA-I biomarkers; advanced strategic discussions with IHU SEPSIS, the world's leading sepsis research center, also in November 2025; the start of talks in August 2025 with a major sepsis player for CER-001 commercialization; a €8.7 million award from the French government's France 2030 i-Démo plan in February 2025 to combat sepsis; positive EMA feedback in 2024 for CER-001 in LCAT deficiency; and the appointment of Rob Scott, MD, as Chief Medical Officer in early 2024 to lead R&D expansion.
