Transforming Immunotherapy

Our lead therapeutic candidate IC14 is an investigational anti-CD14 monoclonal antibody

CD14 regulates pathogenic inflammatory responses to infection and injury and targeting it with biologic drugs has great potential across a variety of disease areas. Our therapeutic focus is on cardiovascular diseases that currently have limited or no approved treatments. Initial clinical data in patients with acute decompensated heart failure show a rapid, deep and durable response to our antibody.

Uniquely, we also have a matching diagnostic that, with a few drops of blood and in just a few minutes, both predicts the patient’s risk of disease progression and tracks the direct effect of dosing with IC14.

A phase 2 clinical study in patients with all-cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is also underway, using the same drug and diagnostic test.

“The chronic diseases that afflict us as we age are largely the result of inappropriate inflammation, so the ability of IC14 to reset the level of inflammation should be game-changing for these diseases.“

Current Clinical Trials

ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME

Funded by the US National Institutes of Health, IC14 is being studied in a Phase 2 clinical program (NCT06513949) in patients with ARDS. This study extends the pioneering work reported in Chest Critical Care by Mabrey, 2025 and reviewed by Michels, 2025 that showed the power of matching our precisely targeted biologic with a 100% mechanism-linked biomarker (presepsin, sCD14-ST) to predict individual patient responses.

We are furthering this concept in our planning for Phase 2 studies in heart failure.
