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.

Aruvant`s mission is to bring hope to patients living with rare diseases by developing life changing and potentially curative gene therapies, with a near-term focus on sickle cell disease. Aruvant is a part of the Roivant family of companies. We have a talented team with extensive experience in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of gene therapy products. We have an active research program with a lead product candidate in development for individuals suffering from sickle cell disease (SCD). Our lead product candidate, ARU-1801, an investigational lentiviral gene therapy, is currently in a clinical trial as a potential one-time curative treatment for SCD. Preliminary clinical data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study demonstrated durable efficacy in reducing the negative impacts of SCD. We are preparing for the launch of our pivotal clinical trial in SCD. We continue to look for new people to add to our talented team.
