CEO Vishal Patel said the funding will accelerate the company’s candidate TRIV-573 to a proof-of-concept study. TRIV-573 is a bispecific antibody designed to target kallikrein 5/7 (KLK5/7) and interleukin 13 (IL-13). KLK5/7, a serine protease, affects processes such as skin desquamation, inflammation, and immune response while IL-13 plays integral roles in allergic inflammation and fibrosis.

The biotech’s lead candidate is TRIV-509, a KLK5/7 dual inhibitor designed to address barrier dysfunction, inflammation, and itch in atopic dermatitis (AD). Triveni expects to submit an investigational new drug (IND) application for TRIV-509 in Q1 2025.

Competitors such as Johnson & Johnson (J&J) have also made significant moves in the AD space. In May 2024, J&J paid $1.25bn for Numab Therapeutics’ IL-4R and IL-31 targeting bispecific antibody, NM26, which is currently being evaluated in a Phase I study (NCT05859724) as a treatment for AD.

GlobalData’s Pharma Intelligence Centre lists 31 ongoing and planned bispecific antibody clinical trials for immunology as of October 2024, as per GlobalData healthcare analyst, Katarina Zahedi.
