Advancing Non-Systemic Medicines for Inflammatory Skin Diseases
Turn Therapeutics develops first-in-class topical cytokine-modulating therapeutics designed to deliver targeted anti-inflammatory effects without systemic immune exposure or injections.
Turn Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing first-in-class targeted therapies designed to act where disease occurs, not where it does not.
Our approach is grounded in a simple principle: effective medicine should deliver therapeutic impact locally, without unnecessary systemic exposure.
We are building a new category of precision therapeutics that combine biologic-level efficacy with localized delivery, beginning in dermatologic inflammation.
Breakthrough Science, Precisely Where It Is Needed
A Promising Therapeutic Direction for Inflammatory Skin Diseases
Currently approved moderate-to-severe eczema treatments primarily rely on systemic injectable biologics that suppress immune function throughout the entire body – not just where inflammation occurs. This can lead to unwanted serious side effects that may contribute to the interruption or discontinuation of therapy.

GX-03: A First-in-Class Topical Modulator of IL-36 and Key Downstream Cytokines
GX-03 targets IL-36α, IL-36γ, IL-31, and IL-4 — central drivers of itch and inflammation in eczema — delivering strong anti-inflammatory effects directly to the site without systemic exposure.
Capital-Efficient Execution
Our business model combines a focused clinical pipeline with strategic partnerships that generate non-dilutive revenue. This approach validates our operational capabilities and enables sustained investment in GX-03 development.
