Announcement
Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. announced the publication of preclinical data assessing CD388, the company's influenza DFC, in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature Microbiology.
AI Summary
Cidara Therapeutics recently published preclinical data in Nature Microbiology assessing its investigational drug-Fc conjugate, CD388. The study shows that CD388 has the potential to work as a potent, universal antiviral against influenza A and B viruses in both healthy and high-risk populations. Researchers demonstrated that CD388’s intrinsic antiviral activity can protect against various influenza strains, including severe and resistant types, regardless of the immune status of the subjects. The findings in mice indicate that the drug is effective even in immune-compromised models, suggesting broad protection without relying on a strong immune response.
The publication supports the promise of CD388 as a single-dose preventive treatment for influenza. This breakthrough could offer an alternative to vaccines, providing season-long protection that may be particularly beneficial during both seasonal and pandemic flu outbreaks.

Announcement
Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. announced it has reached full planned enrollment of 5,000 subjects in the Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial across clinical sites in the US and UK.
AI Summary
Cidara Therapeutics has reached a major milestone by enrolling 5,000 subjects in its Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial at clinical sites in the United States and United Kingdom. This trial is designed to evaluate the safety, proper dosing, and effectiveness of CD388, a novel drug-Fc conjugate intended to prevent seasonal influenza. The investigational treatment aims to serve as a long-acting, universal influenza preventive through a single dose given at the start of the flu season.
The study targets healthy, unvaccinated adults, who will be monitored throughout the flu season for any breakthrough cases of influenza. Achieving this enrollment at the beginning of the northern hemisphere’s flu season positions Cidara Therapeutics to thoroughly assess CD388’s potential as a one-dose treatment, marking a significant development in the fight against seasonal influenza.

Announcement
Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. announced two presentations at OPTIONS XII for the Control of Influenza conference, to be held September 29 through October 2, 2024 in Brisbane, Australia.
AI Summary
Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. announced that it will present two key sessions on its influenza drug candidate, CD388, at the upcoming OPTIONS XII for the Control of Influenza conference in Brisbane, Australia from September 29 to October 2, 2024. One session is an oral presentation scheduled for October 1, where Dr. Taylor Sandison will share safety data from Phase 1 and Phase 2a studies involving 108 subjects. The study reported that CD388, given by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, was safe and well-tolerated across various doses. The second session, which is a poster presentation on September 29, will cover pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety results from a study involving 27 healthy Japanese participants. These findings reinforce the potential of CD388 to offer season-long protection against influenza A and B in both immune-compromised and immune-competent individuals.

Announcement
Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. announced the first subjects dosed in the Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD388 for the pre-exposure prophylaxis of influenza during the current flu season.
AI Summary
Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. has begun dosing the first subjects in its Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial to test CD388 for preventing influenza before exposure. The trial is designed to study how effective and safe CD388 is during the current flu season. It will involve about 5,000 healthy adults who have not been vaccinated and are not at high risk from the flu. Participants will receive either one of three single doses of CD388 or a placebo at the start of the season. Researchers will follow the subjects throughout the flu season to compare rates of laboratory and clinically confirmed influenza cases. According to the company’s CEO, CD388 may offer a new way to prevent both seasonal and pandemic flu strains, especially for those who do not benefit as much from traditional vaccines.
