Imara Inc. is dedicated to developing novel therapeutics for people living with sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies. Sickle cell disease is a rare, genetic blood disease that causes red blood cells to sickle and become damaged, activating immune cells and blocking blood flow in capillaries, injuring many organs and causing daily pain. Imara is developing IMR-687, a highly selective, potent small molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9i), to treat patients with sickle cell disease. Imara was launched following an 18-month scientific collaboration between orphan drug accelerator Cydan Development and H. Lundbeck A/S.
Biota Pharmaceuticals is focused on the discovery and development of direct-acting antivirals to treat infections that affect a significant number of patients globally. The Company has four product candidates in development that address viral infections that have limited therapeutic options. We are currently enrolling patients for the Phase 2b SPIRITUS trial for vapendavir, a potent, broad spectrum capsid inhibitor of enteroviruses, for the treatment of human rhinovirus (HRV) infected patients with moderate-to-severe asthma. Our second Phase 2 clinical product candidate is BTA074 (AP611074), a novel topical treatment for genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11. We also are developing BTA-C585, an oral fusion inhibitor in development for the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus infections. We anticipate beginning a Phase 1 clinical trial with BTA-C585 in Q3 2105. Laninamivir octanoate, a one-time, inhaled neuraminidase for the treatment of influenza A and B infections has completed a global Phase 2 trial.
