A Potential Breakthrough in Addiction Treatment
AD04, Adial Pharmaceuticals’ flagship product, is a genetically targeted therapeutic agent designed to combat AUD.
The drug, a serotonin-3 receptor antagonist, was the subject of the company’s ONWARD™ pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial.

Promising Trial Results and Potential Applications
Results from the ONWARD trial were promising, indicating a reduction in drinking among participants without significant safety or tolerability concerns.
Beyond AUD, AD04 holds potential applications in treating other addictive disorders, including Opioid Use Disorder, gambling addiction, and obesity.
Pioneering Addiction Medicine
Adial Pharmaceuticals’ commitment to developing innovative treatments for addiction underscores its mission to address critical unmet medical needs.
The company’s focus on leveraging genetic targeting and advanced therapeutic modalities positions it as a key player in the evolving landscape of addiction medicine.
Investor Interest and Future Prospects
Investors and stakeholders keen on the pharmaceutical sector are closely monitoring Adial Pharmaceuticals’ progress.
With a robust pipeline of potential therapies and a track record of execution, the company continues to garner attention within the biopharmaceutical industry and beyond.
As Adial Pharmaceuticals moves forward with its warrant exercise and the advancement of AD04, it remains dedicated to making meaningful strides in the field of addiction medicine and improving the lives of those affected by addiction and related disorders.
