CD388, a long-acting antiviral designed to achieve universal prevention of seasonal and pandemic influenza with a single dose, is a promising candidate in the fight against influenza. The drug is a part of Cidara's proprietary Cloudbreak® platform, which combines targeted small molecules or peptides with a proprietary human antibody fragment. Cidara's lead DFC candidate, CD388, received Fast Track Designation by the FDA in June 2023 and has shown positive top-line results from its Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial [1].
The Breakthrough Therapy designation granted by the FDA to CD388 for preventing influenza A and B in high-risk adults and adolescents underscores its potential as a non-vaccine prophylactic option for those inadequately protected by existing vaccines [2]. This designation facilitates expedited review and support from the FDA as Cidara moves forward with its clinical development.
Cidara has initiated the Phase 3 ANCHOR trial, which will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD388, expanding its study population to include generally healthy adults over 65. The company is headquartered in San Diego, California, and can be reached for more information at www.cidara.com [1].
