Implicit intends to initiate Phase 2 clinical development in acute lung injury (ALI) during 2009. IC14 was originally being developed for severe sepsis at Icos Corporation, which was acquired by Lilly in 2007.
IC14 is a clinical stage recombinant chimeric monoclonal antibody that recognizes and blocks the function of human CD14, an essential component of the innate inflammatory response to bacterial infection. CD14 triggers activation of the innate immune response to bacterial components, including lipopolysaccharide, through the Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway. Lung inflammation in response to innate immune activation through the TLR pathway is a primary factor in the early pathogenesis of ALI.
Mastering Antibody-Drug Conjugates
December 19th 2024In this episode, we explore BIOVECTRA’s capabilities in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) manufacturing, from complex conjugation chemistry to synthesis of highly potent payloads. We’ll also showcase how BIOVECTRA’s extensive experience in complex chemistries and specialized small molecule manufacturing gives them a unique perspective, strengthening their approach to ADC production and ensuring clients receive custom solutions across all project stages.
