From Discovery to the Clinic
ViroCarb is advancing multiple preclinical delivery programs targeting unmet needs in antiviral treatments
One Platform, Targeting Multiple Viruses
Transforming treatment of viral infections with unmet need
| Program | Route Adm. | Discovery | Target & pathway validation | Lead candidate selection | Preclinical proof of concept | GLP safety & tox studies | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPS543 Respiratory Viruses | Oral | Phase 1b (flu and COVID-19 patients), target completion, ~24 months, planned Phase 2/3 expansion into additional indications. | |||||||
| GPS543 Influenza | Nasal | Influenza A human challenge trials (CHIM) in the Netherlands (CHDR/INFECTA) target completion in ~18 months, with expansion to other respiratory viruses. | |||||||
| Viral eye infections Adenovirus | Topical Eye Formulation | Advancing a topical broad-spectrum lead candidate for major viral Eye infections through strategic pharma partnership. | |||||||
| Multiple Viruses & Conditions | Oral | In vitro and in vivo evaluation of our compound library against different viral infections with unmet clinical needs. | |||||||
Oral GPS543
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.

Intranasal GPS543
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 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.
