UNI50001 (orismilast) is a high-potency, oral, next-generation PDE4 inhibitor targeting the PDE4 subtypes linked to inflammation, being developed in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa and also in atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis.
UNI50001 (orismilast), a high-potency PDE4 inhibitor linked to inflammation. Orismilast holds the potential to become a safe and efficacious oral treatment for many immunological diseases, and is currently developing oral orismilast for the treatment of AD, psoriasis, and HS.
IBI353 (orismilast) is a next-generation PDE4 inhibitor with high potency for the PDE4 subtypes linked to inflammation currently under development as an oral treatment for psoriasis, AD and HS.
Preclinical data demonstrated that UNI50001 (orismilast) is potent inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type-4 (PDE4), and that orismilast more selectively inhibit PDE4B and PDE4D subtypes which are considered more relevant in treatment of immunological diseases.
UNION is developing orismilast, which is a potent next-generation phosphodiesterase type-4 (PDE4) inhibitor operating early in the inflammation cascade to induce a broad spectrum of downstream anti-inflammatory effects.
TFF previously completed a preclinical in vivo efficacy study that showed a seven-fold reduction in lung viral load in a hamster model when dry powder niclosamide was administered 24 hours after inoculation with SARS-CoV-2 when the disease was already severe.
Under the terms of the agreement, UNION grants Innovent an exclusive license to research, develop and commercialize orismilast in China, including participating in and recruiting Chinese patients for potential future global studies of orismilast.
UNION therapeutics A/S (UNION) has been selected by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Cambridge to trial UNI91103 as a prophylactic treatment of COVID-19 in kidney patients, a vulnerable and high-risk patient population.
Orismilast is a next generation oral PDE4-inhibitor with an improved therapeutic window compared to other PDE4-inhibitors. Oral orismilast (UNI50001) has demonstrated proof of concept in patients living with plaque psoriasis and indicated "best-in-class" potential.
Niclosamide based nasal spray (UNI91103) will first be investigated in high risk patients to test its ability to prevent infection with COVID-19 and to reduce the severity of the disease for those already infected.
