Adial is at an important inflection point with our many recent accomplishments. Addiction is a devastating disease that takes an enormous toll on our families, communities, country and the economy. I am excited to lead Adial as we advance our mission to bring life-transforming therapies to patients who are in need. This begins with our lead investigational drug candidate, AD04, a genetically targeted therapeutic agent for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder and other addictions.

Adial History

Adial was founded on the ground-breaking work of Bankole A. Johnson, M.D., D.Sc. Dr. Johnson began his work in the 1990’s and, once the genome was unlocked, focused on understanding the genetics behind addiction. After animal studies, imaging studies, and early clinical work, he hypothesized that a serotonin-3 blocker might help people with certain genetics related to the serotonin system. After a Phase 2 study conducted by the University of Virginia at three sites in Virginia and one site in Texas, he met William Stilley and Adial Pharmaceuticals was founded in 2010 and began operations in 2011.
