art). Paridiprubart represents a new class of emerging therapies called Host-Directed Therapeutics (HDTs) that are designed to modulate the body’s own immune response when confronted with infectious diseases or even chemical agents. EB05 is currently being evaluated in a U.S. government-funded platform study investigating three novel threat-agnostic HDTs in hospitalized adult patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a life-threatening form of respiratory failure. Certain development expenses, including manufacturing scale-up, for our EB05 program are also eligible for reimbursement from the Government of Canada under a 2023 grant and funding award. In addition to EB05, we are also preparing an investigational new drug application (IND) in the United States to conduct a future Phase 2 study for EB07 (paridiprubart) in patients with pulmonary fibrosis.
