What Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc. does

In the company’s own words

Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACRS) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small and large molecule product candidates for immuno-inflammatory diseases. The company leverages its proprietary KINect drug discovery platform, which enables the identification of potential small molecule product candidates through a unique combination of proprietary chemical libraries, novel inhibitor modalities, structure-based drug design expertise, and custom kinase assays. This platform is designed to expand the druggable kinome and provide faster paths to high-quality inhibitor assets.

The company's pipeline includes several key investigational candidates. Bosakitug (ATI-045) is a novel humanized anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody with potential best-in-class properties including high affinity, low dissociation rates, and extended half-life characteristics. ATI-2138 is an oral covalent dual inhibitor of ITK and JAK3 for T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases, which demonstrated positive Phase 2a results in atopic dermatitis. ATI-052 is a novel bispecific antibody targeting both TSLP and IL-4Ra, with positive Phase 1a results announced in January 2026. ATI-9494 is an oral covalent ITK inhibitor with differentiated pharmacological properties. Additionally, lepzacitinib (ATI-1777) is an investigational topical JAK 1/3 inhibitor for atopic dermatitis and other dermatologic conditions.

Aclaris does not operate manufacturing facilities and relies on third parties for preclinical and clinical supply manufacturing. The company pursues a strategy of identifying and consummating transactions with third-party partners to further develop, obtain marketing approval for, and commercialize its product candidates. In November 2024, the company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Biosion to develop and commercialize bosakitug and ATI-052 worldwide, excluding Greater China, with potential milestone payments and royalties. The company also acquired its ITK inhibitor programs through the 2017 acquisition of Confluence Life Sciences. Aclaris maintains a comprehensive intellectual property portfolio with patents and pending applications directed to its product candidates, with expiration dates ranging from 2035 to 2046.
