Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. (CDTX), headquartered in San Diego, California, is a pioneering biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel anti-infectives and immunotherapies. The company's mission is to address diseases inadequately treated by current standard of care therapies. Utilizing its proprietary Cloudbreak® platform, Cidara develops drug-Fc conjugates (DFCs) aimed at saving lives and improving patient outcomes for serious diseases such as cancer, viral infections, and autoimmune diseases.
The company's core portfolio includes:
- Rezafungin (REZZAYO™): An FDA and EC-approved treatment for invasive candidiasis, licensed to multiple partners for commercialization in the U.S. and internationally.
- CD101 IV: A potential once-weekly intravenous therapy for systemic fungal infections.
- CD101 Topical: The first topical application of the echinocandin class of anti-fungals for vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).
- CD388: A long-acting antiviral investigational drug for the prevention of all strains of influenza A and B, currently in Phase 2b development.
Recent achievements include significant data presentations at prestigious conferences and strategic realignments to focus on the most promising components of their pipeline. Cidara’s financial stability is reinforced by a $240 million private placement led by RA Capital Management, with participation from top-tier investors like Bain Capital Life Sciences and Biotech Value Fund (BVF).
Noteworthy partnerships include collaborations with Johnson & Johnson for CD388 and Mundipharma for the divestiture of rezafungin, which has led to substantial cost savings and allows Cidara to focus on its Cloudbreak platform. The company is also preparing for a Phase 2b clinical trial of CD388, aiming to deliver universal, season-long protection against influenza.
