Decoy Therapeutics Announces Breakthrough In Vitro Activity Against Ebola Zaire, Expanding D-MAV™ Platform into High Consequence Global Health Threats
Decoy Therapeutics announced that a D-MAV candidate demonstrated in vitro activity against wild-type Ebola Zaire, validating its platform's ability to target shared viral mechanisms across different virus families.
The candidate, originally engineered for coronaviruses, also showed activity against Lassa fever virus, leading the company to open an exploratory program for filoviruses and arenaviruses.
Management emphasized that the respiratory program remains the clinical priority, but noted the results significantly expand the potential reach and versatility of the IMP(3)ACT platform.
