Enanta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is screened out under 2 exclusion reasons spanning 1 issue category.
This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. It is a statement of values.
Enanta Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company whose core business model involves animal testing as a standard component of drug development. The company's preclinical research activities, as disclosed in its regulatory filings, require the completion of laboratory tests and animal studies conducted according to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards. This reliance on animal models is integral to the development of its therapeutic candidates.
While the provided evidence does not detail specific testing protocols or species used, the company's operations fall under the broad exclusion for commercial animal exploitation. This category captures activities where animals are used as a means to commercial ends, which includes the pharmaceutical industry's widespread use of animals in preclinical research and toxicity testing.
Enanta Pharmaceuticals is a research and development-focused biotechnology company whose drug discovery and development pipeline inherently requires animal testing for regulatory compliance. The company's public filings explicitly list animal studies as a standard part of its preclinical testing process, necessary to assess product toxicity and advance candidates toward clinical trials. As a pharmaceutical company developing small molecule drugs for viral and liver diseases, Enanta's business model is contingent on conducting or commissioning animal testing to meet FDA requirements for investigational new drug applications.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
