CDT Equity Inc. Emerges as Biotech Development Company with Evolved Strategy

Conduit Pharmaceuticals is changing its name to CDT Equity Inc. to reflect its evolution into a data-driven biotech development company. CDT focuses on identifying, enhancing, and advancing high-potential therapeutic assets through scientific innovation and strategic partnerships. Its strategy involves unlocking the value of clinical-stage compounds and improving drug properties through advanced co-crystallization and solid-form technologies. The company has a pipeline of candidates targeting inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, idiopathic male infertility, dermatology, and animal health.

NAPLES, Fla., and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: CDT) announced today that it will change its name to CDT Equity Inc. (CDT), reflecting a significant evolution in its strategy and business model. The rebranding marks a shift towards a more data-driven approach to biotech development, focusing on identifying, enhancing, and advancing high-potential therapeutic assets through scientific innovation and strategic partnerships [1].

CDT Equity Inc. (CDT) aims to unlock the untapped value of clinical-stage compounds, particularly those deprioritized by larger pharmaceutical companies despite strong Phase I safety data. The company leverages advanced co-crystallization and solid-form technologies developed at its Cambridge facility to improve drug properties and extend patent life by up to 20 years [1]. CDT's pipeline includes candidates targeting inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, idiopathic male infertility, dermatology, and animal health.

Key partnerships are driving CDT's strategic expansion. A collaboration with Sarborg enables CDT to apply proprietary algorithms utilizing AI-powered disease mapping to identify novel repurposing opportunities against a database of over 800 disease signatures. This partnership has directly informed two new combination patent filings, strengthening CDT's intellectual property portfolio. Additionally, a partnership with Manoira allows CDT to expand its drug portfolio into the animal health market in a cost-efficient manner, while retaining 100% ownership of all data and intellectual property generated for human applications [1].

CDT's strategic shift also includes evaluating a cryptocurrency treasury reserve strategy, working with consultants to advise on a novel market that has seen significant recent activity and success for respective stakeholders. This approach reflects a willingness to explore non-traditional value creation strategies that could differentiate CDT in the capital markets [1].

Operating with a lean, disease-agnostic model, CDT Equity Inc. prioritizes speed, adaptability, and capital efficiency. The company avoids the cost burden of late-stage clinical trials, focusing instead on high-leverage development strategies. "Looking ahead, we are committed to creating shareholder value through licensing, strategic M&A, and positioning the company as a platform for transformative innovation," said Dr. Andrew Regan, Chief Executive [1].

The rebranding of Conduit Pharmaceuticals to CDT Equity Inc. represents more than a cosmetic change—it signals a fundamental shift in business strategy. By focusing on extracting value from deprioritized clinical-stage compounds with established safety profiles, CDT is establishing itself as a platform company in the healthcare, biotech, and broader technology innovation sectors [2].
