Expanded Phase III Trial And BARDA Support Will Shape Long Term Outlook

Summary Cidara Therapeutics delivered a 1,165%+ return, driven by positive CD388 data and Merck's $221.50/share acquisition offer. CD388 achieved statistically significant prevention efficacy up to 76% in phase 2b, leading to FDA alignment for the single pivotal phase 3 ANCHOR trial. Phase 3 ANCHOR trial reached 6,000-patient enrollment; interim analysis is expected Q1 2026, with BLA submission contingent on success for this and subsequent Southern Hemisphere study start. I maintain a "Hold" rating as the Merck acquisition awaits HSR clearance, with regulatory and competitive risks remaining. Plus, no further upside as the acquisition is already announced.

Summary Cidara Therapeutics is leveraging its Cloudbreak platform to develop CD388 for universal influenza prophylaxis. Fortunately, they recently enrolled 5,000 subjects in its Phase 2b trial to assess CD388’s safety and efficacy. CD388 inhibits viral replication and activates the immune response, and its mechanism of action actually received the FDA’s Fast Track designation. Interestingly, CDTX reduced its workforce by 30% to concentrate on CD388. This could very well pay off if they're successful with their 2025 trials. Overall, CDTX stock trades at a reasonable valuation, so I feel it’s fair to give it a speculative “Buy” rating as a bet on CD388 in 2025.

CD388 is a universal long-lasting influenza drug against all seasonal and pandemic influenza viruses in a phase 2b clinical trial. CD388 is not a vaccine but would provide 6 months of protection.Cidara spikes on $11M milestone payment from partner Mundipharma
The shares of clinical-stage biotech Cidara Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CDTX) gained over 8% pre-market Tuesday after the company announced that British drugmaker Mundipharma paid $11.1M as a milestone payment under a 2019 licensing deal. The payment follows the acceptance of the marketing authorization application (MAA) for rezafungin by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as a treatment for fungal diseases candidemia and invasive candidiasis. While CDTX has rights for rezafungin in Japan, the company has sold the U.S. commercial rights for the drug to Melinta Therapeutics and rights for all other territories to Mundipharma. Chief Executive Jeffrey Stein said that his company remains on track to receive up to ~$108M in milestone payments as additional non-dilutive capital from partners subject to the accomplishment of events scheduled for the next two years.

Cidara Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CDTX) said it began dosing in a phase 2a trial of CD388 to evaluate the pre-exposure prophylactic activity of the antiviral against influenza virus. CD388 is aimed to deliver universal prevention of seasonal and pandemic influenza, the company said in A a Sept. 13 press release. Cidara said the study is being conducted under an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration with Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), to develop and commercialize Cidara's Cloudbreak drug-Fc conjugates (DFCs) to prevent seasonal and pandemic influenza. Multiple dose levels of CD388 will be evaluated in people who will receive a single administration of CD388 or placebo prior to influenza viral challenge. The trial is expected to enroll up to 168 healthy adults. "Because of its mode of action, CD388 has the potential to enable universal influenza coverage against all viral strains for all people, including those with compromised immune systems. We look forward to announcing the findings next year, and continuing our collaboration with Janssen who will be spearheading late-stage development," said Cidara President and CEO Jeffrey Stein.Cidara Therapeutics GAAP EPS of -$0.19 beats by $0.09, revenue of $6.22M beats by $0.01M
