Pulmocide is a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in tackling difficult-to-treat respiratory diseases. We focus on respiratory fungal infections that can be serious and life-threatening and have significant effects on patients’ quality of life. Our current clinical development focus is on treating patients who have not successfully responded to the standard of care and on the prophylactic treatment of lung transplant patients. Pulmocide’s innovative approach to drug development provides a novel potential therapy that has been specifically designed to treat the most common fungal lung disease, pulmonary aspergillosis. Opelconazole was designed for inhaled delivery to minimize systemic exposure and deliver a high concentration of drug with a long retention time at the site of infection. This approach could improve treatment outcomes in patients with fungal lung disease without increasing systemic side effects and without interactions with other medications. The Pulmocide team is well experienced in the discovery and development of inhaled therapies for respiratory and infectious disease indications. They have particular expertise in the identification of novel compounds that can be delivered directly to the lungs.

Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq: ABUS) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company leveraging its extensive virology expertise to identify and develop novel therapeutics with distinct mechanisms of action, which can be combined to provide a functional cure for patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (cHBV). We believe the key to success in developing a functional cure involves suppressing HBV DNA, reducing surface antigen, and boosting HBV-specific immune responses. Our pipeline of internally developed, proprietary compounds includes an RNAi therapeutic, imdusiran (AB-729), and an oral PD-L1 inhibitor, AB-101. Imdusiran has generated meaningful clinical data demonstrating an impact on both surface antigen reduction and reawakening of the HBV-specific immune response. Imdusiran is currently in three Phase 2a combination clinical trials. AB-101 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1a/1b clinical trial.
