Imlifdase – a novel approach to eliminate pathogenic IgG
Imlifidase’s Mode of Action is that it cleaves IgG within 2-6 hours from a 15-minute infusion, IgG levels will then drop to below detectable levels and stay supressed for approximately 5-7 days, before it gradually returns back to normal levels.
Potential indication universe
Beyond kidney transplantation, imlifidase could potentially be used in post-transplantation and transplantation of other organs, as a treatment for acute autoimmune diseases and as a pre-treatment for gene therapy.
Additionally, Hansa is developing a next generation of enzymes under the program NiceR for repeat dosing administration. The NiceR program will potentially open a very large universe of potential indications, including a number of gene therapy programs, autoimmune diseases and oncology.
Our Business Model
In transplantation and autoimmune diseases, Hansa Biopharma intends utilize its own commercial infrastructure, utilizing inhouse capabilities from an experienced and skilled team to secure a successfully entry into these markets. In other areas where the market overall is more complex and fragmented, such as gene therapy and oncology, Hansa will consider alternative pathways for commercial success. In these markets, Hansa may employ a partnering strategy similar to the agreement with Sarepta Therapeutics in gene therapy.
