A breakthrough active immunotherapy for the treatment of osteoarthritis
Peptinov aims to halt osteoarthritis progression through a cost-effective immunotherapy that neutralizes IL-6, with promising Phase I results leading to a Phase II trial for out-licensing readiness.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Osteoarthritis is a debilitating disease affecting the joint and a leading cause of disability worldwide. It affects at least 250 million people and incurs healthcare costs of toward 0.5% of the GDP.
Project Overview
Peptinov is developing an active immunotherapy that can halt inflammation-driven destruction of the cartilage in the joints. We use a unique approach to neutralise a key pro-inflammatory protein (IL-6) driving chronic inflammation.
Mechanism of Action
Our vaccine-like approach stimulates the patient’s own immune system to produce antibodies against excess IL-6 and neutralise its biological function. By doing so, we will halt disease progression.
Cost Efficiency
Our treatment will cost 5-10% of conventional immunotherapies as we inject patients with inexpensive, immunogenic peptides to stimulate the production of endogenous antibodies.
Clinical Trials
Phase I clinical trial yielded very encouraging preliminary safety and tolerability data on 24 patients. This project will implement the Phase II clinical trial and make our therapy out-licensing ready.
