Two Trials Expected To Report Data Shortly. Cocrystal reported a 3Q24 loss of $4.9 million or $(0.49) per share. The company made progress in its clinical programs during the quarter, including CC42344, its oral PB2 inhibitor for seasonal and pandemic influenza. We see this an increasingly important product, given the spread of a new variant of the virus known as H5N1, or the avian flu. Data from its Phase 2a human challenge study is expected before year-end.
CC-42344 Could Be Effective Against The New Bird Flu. As discussed in our Research Note on June 21, a new virulent strain of influenza known as avian flu (H5N1) had been detected in dairy cattle. Earlier this year, the first infections in dairy workers showed the virus had mutated enough to begin infecting humans. Preclinical testing with CC-42344 showed it was able to inhibit the virus and has potential for human use against the strain.
