This drug is under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Below is a timeline of key regulatory milestones for this therapy.
- Drug:
- CC-42344
- Announced Date:
- December 31, 2024
- Indication:
- Seasonal and pandemic influenza A
Announcement
Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. announces plans to extend enrollment in the Phase 2a human challenge study with its investigational, broad-spectrum, oral influenza PB2 inhibitor CDI-42344 due to unexpectedly low influenza infection among study participants who were challenged with a H3N2 viral strain.
AI Summary
Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. has announced plans to extend enrollment in its Phase 2a human challenge study for the investigational, broad-spectrum oral influenza PB2 inhibitor CDI-42344. This decision comes after the study team observed an unexpectedly low rate of influenza infection among participants exposed to an H3N2 viral strain. Researchers need a higher infection rate to accurately assess the drug’s antiviral effects and determine important clinical endpoints.
Even though the targeted infection levels were not achieved, the study has so far shown a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no serious adverse events or study-related drug discontinuations noted. The company is now working with its clinical research organization and the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency to amend the study protocol. This extension will aim to enroll more subjects and ensure the necessary infection rates to effectively evaluate CDI-42344 as a potential treatment for both pandemic and seasonal influenza.

Announcement
Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. announced that Cocrystal is conducting an influenza A Phase 2a clinical study with orally administered CC-42344 and expects to report topline results in the second half of 2024.
AI Summary
Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. has announced that it is now conducting a Phase 2a clinical study using its oral antiviral candidate, CC-42344, to treat individuals infected with influenza A. The trial will assess the drug's safety, tolerability, antiviral properties, and clinical benefits in those exposed to the virus. The company expects to report topline results in the second half of 2024, which could provide important insights into the potential of CC-42344 as a new treatment option.
CC-42344 is designed to interfere with key processes in the influenza A virus's replication cycle by targeting a highly conserved region in a viral protein. This Phase 2a study aims to build on promising preclinical findings, and if successful, may offer a novel approach to managing both seasonal and pandemic influenza A infections.

- CC-42344
- Announced Date:
- May 1, 2024
- Indication:
- Seasonal and pandemic influenza A
Announcement
Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. announces completion of enrollment of 78 subjects who were infected with influenza A in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a human challenge clinical study evaluating the safety, tolerability, antiviral and clinical measurements of its novel, broad-spectrum, oral PB2 inhibitor CC-42344. CC-42344 is a new class of antiviral treatment designed to effectively block an essential step in the viral replication and transcription of pandemic and seasonal influenza A, and was discovered using the Company's proprietary structure-based drug discovery platform technology.
AI Summary
Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. recently completed enrollment for their Phase 2a clinical study that involved 78 subjects infected with influenza A. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, the company is evaluating the safety, tolerability, antiviral activity, and clinical outcomes of its novel, broad-spectrum, oral PB2 inhibitor, CC-42344.
CC-42344 represents a new class of antiviral treatments designed to block a key step in the viral replication and transcription of both pandemic and seasonal influenza A strains. The drug was discovered using Cocrystal’s proprietary structure-based drug discovery technology. This study is an important step in demonstrating that CC-42344 may offer a safe and effective treatment for influenza, and the company expects to share topline results later this year.
