Projectdetails

Introduction

At Diamante Società Benefit srl, we leverage our proprietary Plant Molecular Farming Platform to develop cutting-edge treatments for autoimmune diseases through virus nanoparticles (VNP).

Technology Overview

Our patented protected VNPs’ mode of action is based on Antigen Specific Immunotherapy. This means that our VNPs are able to re-educate the immune system to immune tolerate the specific body’s own cell (autoantigen) causing the disease.

Proof-of-Concept Studies

Our proof-of-concept studies in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA - our first indication) animal models have shown complete remission of arthritic symptoms. Currently, there is no cure or preventive measure for this chronic condition; first-line treatments revolve around immunosuppression, causing several side effects.

Treatment Benefits

Our drug will be the first treatment based on the restoration of self-tolerance, while maintaining the immune system’s ability to defend itself; hence reducing potential harmful side effects.

Funding Request

We are now seeking funding to cover the next clinical development steps.
