Development of the first oral disease-modifying treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Palobiofarma aims to develop PBF-680, a first-in-class adenosine receptor antagonist, to treat COPD, targeting disease progression and seeking €30M for further clinical trials.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Palobiofarma is a Spanish biotech company with the ambition to develop new treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases based on adenosine receptor modulation.
Product Overview
Our compound PBF-680 is a first-in-class therapy with disease-modifying effects in respiratory diseases like COPD. Over 65 million patients suffer from COPD, yet there are no approved therapies that target disease progression.
Mechanism of Action
PBF-680 is a unique molecule designed to specifically antagonize the Adenosine 1 Receptor (A1R). It has shown to be safe and well-tolerated in phase 1 trials and demonstrated to reduce pulmonary symptoms and inflammation in mild-to-moderate asthmatics in phase 2 trials.
Funding and Future Plans
With funding from the EIC Accelerator, we will demonstrate efficacy in a phase 2 trial in COPD, a market with high unmet medical need.
Milestones and Financial Goals
Proven clinical efficacy will be the major milestone to raise €30 million (including €15 million EIC Equity) for a phase 3 trial, followed by an additional fundraising or IPO to independently reach market launch with PBF-680.
