SAN DIEGO, Oct. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cidara Therapeutics, Inc.

The conference is taking place both in-person at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, MA and virtually from October 11 – 15, 2023.
"It is important to highlight these new data demonstrating the safety, efficacy and tolerability of CD388 in preventing influenza A and B," said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D. president and chief executive officer of Cidara. "These data support the conclusions drawn from the Phase 2a study, additional data from which will be disclosed at an upcoming conference, that CD388 has the potential to offer true universal protection for patients regardless of their immune status. These data continue to support the unique approach of our Cloudbreak platform which aims to design DFCs that may safely and effectively prevent and treat serious diseases such as influenza and cancer."
CD388 is being developed for the universal protection of influenza A and B under an exclusive worldwide collaboration agreement with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Janssen), a Johnson & Johnson company. Janssen recently delivered its Election to Proceed Notice for CD388 with the intent to transfer its rights and obligations to another entity.
