Overview Management Team Board of Directors

Overview

We are a research and clinical development biopharmaceutical company focused on developing protease therapeutics to address unmet medical needs in disorders of the complement system.

Proteases are natural regulators of this biological system. We engineer proteases to create improved or novel molecules to treat diseases that result from dysregulation of the complement cascade.

Our complement pipeline consists of CB 2782-PEG, preclinical complement component 3 degrader program for geographic atrophy in dry age-related macular degeneration, an improved Complement Factor I protease, CB 4332, for subcutaneous or intravitreal therapy to restore complement homeostasis in diseases of overactive complement or CFI deficiencies, and proteases from our ProTUNE™ C3b/C4b degrader and ImmunoTUNE™ C3a/C5a degrader platforms designed to target specific disorders of the complement or inflammatory pathways. Historically, we also used our protein engineering platform to develop potential therapies for coagulation disorders, including marzeptacog alfa (activated) (“MarzAA”), a SQ administered next-generation engineered coagulation Factor VIIa for the treatment of episodic bleeding and prophylaxis in subjects with rare bleeding disorders, and dalcinonacog alfa, a next-generation SQ FIX, both of which has shown sustained efficacy and safety in mid-stage clinical trials.
