Description: ACRS Aclaris Therapeutics November 14, 2025

Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACRS) is a clinical-stage biopharma focused on novel immune-inflammatory therapies in the United States. It operates two segments: Therapeutics, which advances drug candidates addressing high-unmet-need conditions, and Contract Research, which offers laboratory services to external partners.

The company’s pipeline centers on JAK/ITK inhibition and anti-TSLP approaches. Key candidates include ATI-1777 (soft JAK 1/3 inhibitor, Phase 2b for atopic dermatitis), Bosakitug (ATI-045, anti-TSLP mAb, Phase 2a across atopic dermatitis, asthma, CRS-NP, and COPD), ATI-2138 (oral covalent ITK/JAK3 inhibitor, Phase 2a for T-cell-mediated autoimmunity), Zunsemetinib (ATI-450, MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 inhibitor, Phase 1b/2 in metastatic breast and pancreatic cancer), and pre-clinical bispecific ATI-052 (anti-TSLP/IL-4R). Success hinges on demonstrating safety and efficacy in relatively crowded therapeutic spaces.

As of the most recent 10-Q (Q2 2025), ACRS reported cash and cash equivalents of roughly $150 million and a market capitalization near $300 million, giving it a runway of about 12-18 months assuming current burn rates (~$30 million / year). The biotech sector is benefiting from a projected 7 % CAGR (2024-2030) in the JAK-inhibitor market, driven by expanding indications beyond rheumatoid arthritis. However, regulatory scrutiny of JAK safety profiles remains a sector-wide risk factor that could affect ACRS’s timelines.
