Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of an antiviral drug-Fc conjugate CD388 following subcutaneous administration of 14C-CD388 in the rat. (PubMed, Drug Metab Dispos) - "Catabolism of the Fc domain resulted in formation of metabolites containing the unmodified dimeric zanamivir plus linker. These data support the mode of action of CD388 and demonstrate that the conjugation of zanamivir to the Fc domain is stable, thereby enabling CD388 to maintain its potent antiviral activity."

Drug-Fc conjugate CD388 targets influenza virus neuraminidase and is broadly protective in mice. (PubMed, Nat Microbiol) - "CD388 improves the antiviral activity of zanamivir, demonstrating potent, universal activity across influenza A and B viruses, including high pathogenicity and neuraminidase inhibitor resistant strains, a low potential for resistance development and potent efficacy in lethal mouse infection models. These results suggest that CD388 has the potential for universal prevention of influenza A and B in healthy and high-risk populations."

Cidara Therapeutics Announces Publication of CD388 Preclinical Data in Nature Microbiology (GlobeNewswire) - "The publication describes CD388 and its potential for universal activity across influenza A and B viruses in cellular and animal models. Administration of CD388 resulted in the following: Potent, universal activity against all influenza A and B virus strains, including high pathogenicity strains like H5N1, also known as avian influenza or bird flu, and strains that are resistant to approved neuraminidase inhibitors; Low potential for resistance development; Efficacy at similar exposures in immune-competent and immune-compromised lethal challenge models in mice demonstrating that efficacy is driven predominantly by the intrinsic antiviral activity of CD388."
