List of Antiviral Therapies Companies in Germany - 7

Abalos Therapeutics has harnessed the unique immune stimulation of the arenavirus to develop a novel anti-cancer approach that provides the full breadth of the immune system's power specifically against cancer cells. Through viral replication within cancer cells, Abalos' arenavirus-based drug candidates are designed to awake precise innate and adaptive immune responses and activate all relevant immune cell types against primary tumors and metastases. Led by experienced biotech entrepreneurs and immunology pioneers, Abalos' goal is to achieve a quantum leap in immuno-oncology.

AiCuris (from 'Anti-infective Cures'​) is a pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, research and development of novel antiviral agents for the treatment of severe and potentially life-threatening infectious diseases in immunocompromised patients. Founded in 2006 from Bayer's virology and bacteriology research divisions, AiCuris has a broad and innovative pipeline of novel anti-infectives and a team of internationally regarded scientists and drug developers. With its focus on specialist markets with high medical need, the company is perfectly positioned for growth and success.

Atriva Therapeutics’ mission is to develop an antiviral therapy platform against severe respiratory and systemic diseases with a high unmet medical need induced by RNA viruses, e.g., influenza and COVID-19. The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company is pioneering the development of host-targeting antiviral therapies, making development of viral resistance unlikely, and thereby significantly contributing to pandemic preparedness. The Atriva lead product zapnometinib (ATR-002) is a first-in-class, host-targeting agent that aims to inhibit viral replication and to favorably modulate the body’s immune response to RNA viruses. Atriva Therapeutics was founded in 2015 in Tübingen by a team of leading scientists in viral research and seasoned industry experts and is based in Tübingen, Frankfurt, and Martinsried (IZB, near Munich), Germany.

Complement Therapeutics GmbH (CTx) is an early-stage biotechnology company focused on the research and development of novel therapeutics for complement-mediated diseases. The Company is a spinout from the University of Manchester and is based on the pioneering research of its founders into novel targets within the complement cascade. Our lead investigational product (CTx001) is being evaluated as a potential gene therapy for dry age-related macular degeneration/geographic atrophy, a leading cause of blindness. Additional programmes will evaluate potential therapeutic opportunities in other complement-mediated conditions. The Company is also developing a unique quantification methodology, the Complement Precision Medicine (CPM) platform, to enable quantification of over 30 complement cascade proteins enabling more precise diagnosis and monitoring of disease.
