Title: Investors High Interest in Novimmune’s NI-0501 for Special Orphan Disease


1
Investors High Interest in Novimmunes NI-0501
for Special Orphan Disease
2
  • Swiss biotech, Novimmunes lead compound- NI-0501
    being developed for treatment of severe
    hyperinflammatory disease, hemophagocytic
    lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) has gained a firm faith
    of the investors.

3
  • Novimmune secured another 31 million funding
    this year. Earlier in January, Novimmune raised a
    hefty amount of 30 million from the existing
    investors. With this the company reached the sum
    of around 61 million in just five months.

4
  • In this journey of 18 years, Novimmune has raised
    a handsome amount of around 275 million in its
    fundraising rounds.
  • With these entire eye popping data, do not forget
    the key driver behind all the funding- NI-0501.
    It is the first treatment being developed for
    HLH.

5
  • It received Breakthrough Therapy designation from
    FDA in March.
  • As NI-0501 advances with promising results in its
    clinical trials, the investors faith on the
    compound shoot up and they show it with some
    significant bid on the company.

6
  • NI-0501 is currently in its Phase II/III trial.
    For unhindered progress of the NI-0501 in its
    clinical studies and further development along
    with the other compounds in the pipeline, extra
    financial resources have been allocated by the
    existing shareholders.  

7
  • NI-0501 is a fully human monoclonal antibod
  • y which targets interferon-gamma (IFN?) for
    inhibition of IFN?-induced inflammation. IFN? is
    a cytokine secreted by cells of the immune system
    for the regulation of the immune functions.

8
  • The importance of this cytokine is explicated in
    its ability to inhibit the replication of viruses
    directly. It helps in stimulation as well as
    regulation of other immune responses in the body.

9
Mechanism of the onset of HLH
10
  • HLH is a fatal immune system disorder which
    causes uncontrolled proliferation of activated
    lymphocytes and macrophages which leads to
    secretion of severe amount of inflammatory
    cytokines. It is currently an unmet medical
    condition as no drugs have been approved till
    now. The disease generally occurs to children and
    have 50 mortality rate.

11
  • Novimmune Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
    Eduard Holdener said The continued strong
    commitment from our shareholders demonstrates the
    confidence they have in our team, our pipeline
    and the future of the Company.

12
  • We remain committed to further developing novel
    medicines to provide improved treatment options
    for patients suffering from rare and devastating
    diseases such as HLH, autoimmune and inflammatory
    diseases or cancer.

13
  • The orphan disease like HLH needs certain
    limelight to come under the serious consideration
    of the researchers. Novimmunes endeavor towards
    development of NI-0501 for HLH is really
    appreciating. It seems its developmental journey
     will attract many potential investors in the
    coming time.
