Turn Therapeutics’ GX-03 Technology Named as One of “Five Novel Mechanisms Reshaping Atopic Dermatitis Treatment” by Patient Care Online Magazine

 

Turn’s Topical IL36/IL31 Inhibitor Named Alongside Other Phase 2 & 3 Candidates from Amgen, Sanofi, Leo Pharma, Apogee Therapeutics, and Nektar Therapeutics

 

Los Angeles, CA — November 11, 2025 — Turn Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: TTRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing dermatologic, advanced wound, and infectious disease therapies, today announced it has been named as one of the “Five Novel Mechanisms Reshaping Atopic Dermatitis Treatment” by Patient Care Online Magazine.

 

“We are honored to have our GX-03 technology be recognized as a top innovation by this widely read online magazine and this surprise designation further validates our goal of bringing best-in-class eczema products to patients in need,” said Bradley Burnam, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Turn Therapeutics. “IL-36 is implicated in the inflammatory cascade behind atopic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis, and our technology, with its novel mechanism of action, represents the first topical agent to address this target, offering patients a potential alternative to systematics and injectables. Our studies have demonstrated GX-03’s ability to inhibit several key targets including IL-36 alpha, IL-31, as well as IL-4 and IL-36 gamma, all of which are linked to both eczema and psoriasis. We are working diligently to bring our proprietary pipeline of therapeutics to market and look forward to announcing topline data from our lead program in severe eczema in early 2026.”

Los Angeles, CA — November 11, 2025 — Turn Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: TTRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing dermatologic, advanced wound, and infectious disease therapies, today announced that Chief Executive Officer, Brad Burnam, spoke with Dr. Robert Redfield, M.D., former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about healthcare communication and ways to restore public trust in science.

“It was a pleasure speaking with Dr. Redfield about re-improving public trust in health authorities,” said Bradley Burnam, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Turn Therapeutics. “There is an obligation that companies and public health authorities have to report fact-base science to the American people. Dr. Redfield is a champion of that sentiment. I look forward to continuing the conversation not only with Dr. Redfield but with other, similar, government officials so that both biotech executives and other public facing health figures can further restore public trust in science.”

 

Dr. Robert Redfield, M.D., is a virologist who served as the director for the CDC from 2018 to 2021. During his tenure, Dr. Redfield was a strong advocate for science-based and data-driven decision-making.
