bbHEP01 is a encapsulated allogeneic txHepatocytes for the treatment of acute liver failure, expected to enter clinical development in 2025 and generate initial clinical data in 2026.
Lead Product(s):
Allogeneic Induced Hepatocyte-like Cell
Proceeds will support the development of first candidates for IND-enabling studies, as well as expand discovery and RNA chemistry capabilities to address a wider set of serious liver-related diseases.
Together with the University of Oxford, the Company plans to proceed with scaling up and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) production of HMGB1, as well as safety and toxicity testing in preparation for a planned Investigational New Drug (IND) application filing.
Funding will be used to develop RNA therapies for transplant and chronic liver diseases. Ochre Bio has built a deep phenotyping platform to identify novel liver targets, validated directly in discarded human livers kept alive on machines.
