CDTX - Cidara Therapeutics Announces Presentations Highlighting Phase 1 and Phase 2a Clinical Data on CD388 at ESCMID 2024 | Benzinga
SAN DIEGO, April 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDTX), a biotechnology company using its proprietary Cloudbreak® platform to develop drug-Fc conjugate (DFC) immunotherapies designed to save lives and improve the standard of care for patients facing serious diseases, today announced two poster presentations highlighting data on CD388 at the 34th European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) conference, being held April 27-30, 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.
The first presentation highlights data from the Phase 2a study of CD388, showing the DFC was well tolerated and demonstrated statistically significant antiviral effects when administered as a single subcutaneous dose in healthy volunteers challenged with influenza. The second presentation highlights data from a Phase 1 single ascending dose study of CD388 which showed the drug has an extended half-life of 6-8 weeks. These data underscore the potential of CD388 to provide patients with seasonal influenza prevention.
"Data presentations at the ESCMID 2024 conference support our belief that CD388 has the potential to provide season-long, universal protection from influenza," said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Cidara. "We look forward to continuing to advance this candidate through Phase 2b development after our recent reacquisition from Johnson & Johnson and move closer to providing additional preventative options to patients."
