Description: IRON Disc Medicine January 13, 2026
Disc Medicine, Inc. (NASDAQ: IRON) is a clinical-stage biotech focused on hematologic disorders in the United States, targeting the core biology of red-cell production-specifically heme biosynthesis and iron homeostasis. Its lead assets include bitopertin for erythropoietic porphyrias (e.g., erythropoietic protoporphyria, X-linked protoporphyria, Diamond-Blackfan anemia), DISC-0974 for anemia of myelofibrosis and chronic kidney disease, and DISC-3405 for polycythemia vera, with a preclinical candidate (DISC-0998) aimed at inflammation-related anemia.
Key quantitative signals (as of the most recent 10-Q) show a cash balance of roughly $55 million, giving the company an estimated 12-month runway at current burn rates, and a market capitalization near $210 million. The anemia therapeutics market is projected to exceed $10 billion by 2028, while biotech R&D spending is rising at ~6 % CAGR, providing a favorable macro backdrop for companies that can advance to late-stage trials. DISC-0974 recently entered a Phase 2b study, and bitopertin has received Fast Track designation from the FDA, both of which could materially de-risk the pipeline if data are positive.
