Oral Delivery

Oral GPS543

Oral GPS543 — Phase II/III multiple viruses: Coronavirus, Influenza, Adenovirus, Ebola, HIV

A single Phase 1 safety trial unlocks the potential to treat multiple distinct viral indications

  • Our goal is to complete safety studies with proof of principle of efficacy against influenza and coronavirus.

  • Findings will support testing against multiple viruses in phase II/III clinical trials.

  • Faster and cost-effective process, which avoids the need to separate safety trials for each different viral infection.

Market Insights

  • $45B 2026 → ~$55B 2030 coronavirus + influenza [Cognitive-Market-Research, 2026]

  • Opportunity to expand into broader viral infections via a single Phase 1 program

Intranasal Delivery

Frontline Respiratory Defense

  • Current treatments for respiratory infections are limited to high-risk individuals and are affected by drug resistance.

  • ViroCarb plans to deliver intranasally GPS543 to directly target these infections.

  • First-in-human clinical trials for Influenza A are planned in collaboration with the clinical CRO INFECTA and CHDR in the Netherlands.

Ocular Delivery

Ocular Administration

Viral Eye Infections

  • Viral eye infections are highly contagious and can cause irreversible vision loss.

  • Adenovirus is the main cause, and no effective antivirals are currently available.

  • ViroCarb candidates show strong anti-adenoviral activity and are expected to work broadly against other viral infections of the eye.*

Market Insights

*No approved treatment exists for up to 90% of viral eye infections (adenovirus). The market for treatable viral infections is projected to reach up to $8.2B by 2030.
