Description

Cloudbreak (r) is a Drug Fc Conjugate that acts as a single-molecule cocktail by coupling targeted small molecules and peptides to a human antibody fragment (Fc). These conjugates bind to the target receptors for an extended period while simultaneously engaging with the immune system of the human body, allowing them to both treat and prevent disease. antibody drug conjugates like this have the potential to carry multiple drug molecules (payloads).

Technology highlight

• Long half-life, similar to monoclonal antibody • Ability to target cryptic sites & has small molecule binding pockets • Targeted pharmacological action with low systematic exposure • Multivalent target engagement of DFC increases potency of API and reduces resistance potential • Extracellular targeted action


Technology main components

Drug -Fc Conjugate cocktail consists of (i) API, (ii) peptide fusions, and (iii) a human antibody fragment specific to the targeted disease (Fc MOIETY).

Additional features

Other features of the technology

  • Drug-eluting
  • Other(s)

    Targeted action

Release properties

Small molecule conjugates in DFC exhibit selective targeting towards enzyme active sites and receptors. The distribution of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is influenced by the molecular size of the DFC, with smaller sizes facilitating faster tissue penetration. The API is released from the Fc domain at the target site in a cumulative manner, optimizing therapeutic efficacy through sustained and controlled delivery for a longer period of time.

Injectability

Preclinical and clinical studies focused on DFC drug candidates administered via intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SQ) routes. For administration, a 25-gauge or larger bore needle is used.

Safety

Interim analysis of Phase 2a studies of CD-388 shows that the drug was well-tolerated with no treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) or serious adverse events (SAE) in 28 subjects who received CD-388.

Stability

Patent info

Description

Compositions and Methods for The Treatment of Viral Infections

Brief description

This patent pertains to antiviral drug conjugates and methods for inhibiting viral growth and treating viral infections that involves administering an effective amount of the conjugate, population of conjugates, or pharmaceutical composition to the subject. These conjugates contain monomers or dimers of a moiety that inhibit influenza virus neuraminidase, conjugated to Fc monomers, Fc domains, Fc-binding peptides, albumin proteins, or albumin protein-binding peptides. The neuraminidase inhibitor targets neuraminidase on the viral particle's surface, while the Fc domains bind to FcyRs on immune cells, activating phagocytosis and effector functions. These drug conjugates have enhanced antiviral activity.
