Cocrystal Pharma Announces FDA Fast Track Designation For CDI-988 For Norovirus Infection Treatment And Preventive Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to its oral, direct-acting protease inhibitor, CDI-988, the first oral antiviral candidate being developed for treatment and prophylaxis of norovirus infection. FDA Fast Track designation aims to facilitate the development and accelerate the review process for drugs that treat serious conditions and address unmet medical needs. The designation enables early and frequent communication with the FDA throughout the development process, allows for rolling review of a New Drug Application (NDA), and may qualify a product for Priority Review at the time of NDA submission. CDI-988 was designed and developed as an inhibitor of a highly conserved region of noroviruses, coronaviruses, and other 3CL viral proteases. A Phase 1b norovirus challenge study is underway at Emory University School of Medicine to evaluate CDI-988 to both prevent and treat norovirus infection. Norovirus is responsible for an estimated 685 million global cases each year and approximately $60 billion in worldwide economic impact. In the United States alone, the virus is associated with 21 million infections annually, resulting in around 109,000 hospitalizations, 465,000 emergency department visits, and 900 deaths. The estimated annual economic burden in the U.S. exceeds $10.6 billion. In developing nations, norovirus contributes to up to 1,100,000 hospitalizations and 218,000 pediatric deaths each year. Cocrystal’s ongoing Phase 1b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled challenge study (NCT07198139) at Emory University School of Medicine will evaluate CDI-988 in up to 40 healthy adults. The primary endpoint is a reduction in the incidence of clinical symptoms, with secondary endpoints assessing viral shedding, disease severity, safety, and pharmacokinetics. Cocrystal is leveraging its structure-based drug discovery platform technology to design next-generation antiviral candidates that precisely target viral replication mechanisms. By binding to highly conserved regions of viral enzymes, the Company’s compounds aim to maintain potency against mutating strains while minimizing off-target effects, offering potentially safer, broad-spectrum antiviral solutions. This approach streamlines candidate identification and optimization, enabling more rapid progression of promising therapies with robust resistance and safety profiles. Tillkännagivande • Mar 10

Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. Presents Phase 1 Results for Pan-Viral Inhibitor CDI-988 at Department of Defense Medical Conference Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. announced the presentation of favorable safety and tolerability data from a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study with its oral, direct-acting pan-viral inhibitor CDI-988 at the 2025 Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS), being held August 4-7 in Kissimmee, Florida. The results support Cocrystal's continued clinical development of CDI-988 as a potential norovirus prophylaxis and treatment. In An Oral Pan-viral Protease Inhibitor for the Prevention and Treatment of Norovirus and Coronavirus Infections: Mechanism of Action and Phase 1 Study Results, Sam Lee, Ph.D., Cocrystal President and co-CEO, discussed findings from the CDI-988 Phase 1 single-ascending (SAD) and multiple-ascending (MAD) cohorts. Data indicate that all doses, ranging from 100 mg to 1200 mg, were well tolerated. Overall treatment-emergent adverse events among CDI-988 subjects were 28% (10/36) compared with 40% (4/10) among placebo subjects for the SAD cohorts, and 53% (19/36) and 92% (11/12), respectively, for the MAD cohorts. Headache was the most common adverse event. All subjects in the SAD cohorts and all but one in the MAD cohorts completed the study. No severe treatment-emergent adverse event, no clinically relevant ECG changes and no clinically significant pathology results were reported from the CDI-9 88 Phase 1 single-ascending ("SAD") and multiple-ascending ("MAD) cohorts. "Consistent with interim results from the Phase 1 study, CDI-988 was well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile across all dose levels tested in this study," said Dr. Lee. "Our plan to continue CDI-988's clinical development for norovirus is particularly relevant for the military, where this highly transmissible pathogen purposes significant operational and economic risks. "Norovirus presents significant vaccine development challenges due to its high genetic variability and mutation rate. CDI-988's mechanism of action targeting viral replication and its broad-spectrum coverage offers a promising solution as a potential prophylactic and therapeutic intervention across all norovirus genog Groups including GII.4 and GII.17. This could be a new approach to outbreak prevention and management. The goal of this technology is to facilitate the development of novel broad-spectrum antivirals for the treatment of acute and chronic viral diseases. Tillkännagivande • Jul 10

Cocrystal Pharma, Inc.'S Investigational Drug Candidate Cc-42344 Demonstrates Strong Antiviral Potency Against the 2024 Highly Pathogenic H5n1 Avian Influenza Strain Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. announced that a recent virology study showed its novel, broad-spectrum influenza PB2 inhibitor CC-42344 exhibits strong antiviral activity against the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza A strain (A/Texas/37/2024). On March 25, 2024, the highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza virus was confirmed in a dairy cow in Texas and has continued to spread widely in U.S. dairy cattle, causing a few human cases. There is concern that the H5N1 virus could adapt for human-to-human transmission and potentially result in an influenza pandemic. The virology study utilized the highly pathogenic H5 N1 avian strain (influenza A/Texas/37/2024) and was conducted to test antiviral activity of CC-42344 using Tamiflu®? as a reference inhibitor. The data showed that CC-42344 was highly potent against the H5N1 avian virus (EC50, 0.003 uM), approximately 1,000-fold more potent, compared to a refence compound Tamiflu (EC50, 2.69 uM). CC-42344 is currently in development as an oral treatment for pandemic avian and seasonal influenza A infections with initial data showing a favorable safety and tolerability profile.

Cocrystal Pharma Advances Cc-42344 in Influenza A Phase 2A Study, Expects Topline Results by Late 2024 Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. recently completed in vitro studies. CC-42344 is a new class of antiviral drugs designed to block essential steps in the replication and transcription of the influenza A virus. Cocrystal is conducting an influenza A Phase 2a clinical study with orally administered CC-42344 and expects to report topline results in the second half of 2024. This study is evaluating the safety, tolerability, antiviral and clinical benefits in influenza A infected subjects. In late 2022 Cocrystal reported favorable safety and tolerability results from a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers. Cocrystal demonstrated the potential efficacy of CC-42344 against the new avian flu strain with the recently published genome sequence for H5N1. Using its proprietary structure-based platform, Cocrystal created a high-resolution crystal structure of this avian PB2 protein and confirmed that CC-42344 binds to its highly conserved PB2 region. The in vitro data were generated testing CC-42344 against the avian H5N1 PB2 protein and further support CC-42344’s activity similar to that of Cocrystal’s data with pandemic and seasonal influenza A. Avian influenza A H5N1 was reported in 889 cases and caused 463 deaths in 23 countries between 2003 and April 2024, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). On April 1, 2024, the CDC reported a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N1 in a farmworker in Texas during a multistate outbreak of avian influenza in dairy cows. Two more cases were subsequently reported in farmworkers in Michigan. The CDC analyzed sera (blood) collected from people of all ages in all 10 Health & Human Services regions during the 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 flu seasons. These samples were challenged with H5N1 virus to see whether there was an antibody reaction. Data from this study suggest that there is extremely low to no population immunity to clade 2.3.4.4b A (H5N1) viruses in the U.S. Antibody levels remained low regardless of whether or not the participants received a seasonal flu vaccination, meaning that seasonal flu vaccination did not produce antibodies to H5N1 viruses. Cocrystal Pharma determined the high resolution X-ray crystal structure of the recent avian influenza A (H5N1) PB2 protein and confirmed activity of CC-42344 in vitro (NIH GeneBank ID:influenza A/Texas/37/2024(H5N1). The crystal structure of the avian influenza A (H5N1) PB2 protein showed new mutations located outside the PB2 active site. Subsequent studies showed that CC-42344 binds to the active site of the avian influenza A (H5N1) PB2 protein as previously demonstrated with the pandemic and seasonal influenza A PB2. Preliminary in vitro assays confirmed that CC-42344 exhibits high potency against the avian influenza A (H5N1) PB2 protein. CC-42344 is Cocrystal’s novel, broad-spectrum, antiviral investigational candidate for the treatment of pandemic and seasonal influenza A. CC-42344 inhibits the first step in influenza A’s viral replication by binding to a highly conserved PB2 site of the influenza polymerase complex that is essential to replication and was discovered using Cocrystal’s proprietary structure-based drug discovery platform technology. Cocrystal is conducting a Phase 2a human challenge study in the United Kingdom to evaluate safety, viral and clinical measures of oral CC-42344 in healthy volunteers who are challenged with influenza A. CC-42344 was advanced into Phase 2a testing following favorable safety and tolerability results reported in a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers conducted in Australia. In vitro testing showed CC-42344’s excellent antiviral activity against influenza A strains, including pandemic and seasonal strains, as well as against strains resistant to Tamiflu® and Xofluza®, while also demonstrating favorable pharmacokinetic and safety profiles.

CDI-988 is being evaluated for safety and pharmacokinetics in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study in healthy subjects being conducted in Australia. The Company reports favorable preliminary data from the single-ascending dose cohorts of the clinical study. Cocrystal expects to report topline results from the Phase 1 study this year. CC-42344 binds to a highly conserved PB2 site of the influenza A polymerase complex and exhibits a novel mechanism of action that inhibits viral replication. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a clinical study with CC-42344 is underway in the United Kingdom. The Company reports favorable tolerability and safety in the first cohort of the Phase 2a influenza A challenge study and expects to report topline Results from the Phase 2a clinical study this year. In 2022 Cocrystal reported favorable safety and tolerability results in the healthy volunteer Phase 1 study with CC-42344 conducted in Australia. Although norovirus is a worldwide public health problem, there are no effective treatments or vaccines. Norovirus afflicts an estimated 685 million people annually at an estimated societal cost of $60 billion. Tillkännagivande • Dec 06

GII.4 proteases have caused the majority of norovirus outbreaks worldwide since 2002. CDI-988 was specifically designed and developed as a broad-spectrum antiviral inhibitor using Cocrystal's proprietary structure-based Drug discovery platform technology. It targets a highly conserved region in the active site of noroviruses, noroviruses and other 3CL viral proteases. Cocrystal is approved to conduct a CDI-988 Phase 1 study in Australia by that country's Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). New Risk • Aug 11
New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of German stocks, typically moving 9.5% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (9.5% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$15m net loss in 2 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (25% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (€27.4m market cap, or US$30.0m). New Risk • Jun 27

Cocrystal Pharma Reports Highly Favorable Safety and Tolerability Results from a Phase 1 Study with its Oral Antiviral CC-42344 for the Treatment of Pandemic and Seasonal Influenza A Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. announces highly favorable safety and tolerability results for its orally administered replication inhibitor CC-42344 in its Phase 1 study. CC-42344 is a broad-spectrum antiviral for the treatment of pandemic and seasonal influenza A with a novel mechanism of action. The randomized, double-controlled Phase 1 study was conducted in Australia to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CC-42344 given orally at single doses up to 800 mg and daily doses up to 14 days in 56 healthy volunteers. Approximately 50% of the participants who received a single dose of CC-42344 across all dose levels (100 to 800 mg) experienced adverse events, similar to the proportion of placebo subjects who also experienced adverse events. In the multiple-dose section of the study, the incidence of adverse events was 67% for both CC-42344 (50 to 200 mg) and placebo. The vast majority of adverse events were mild in severity. The most frequently reported adverse event was headache, which occurred at similar rates in CC-42344-treated and placebo-treated participants. There were no serious adverse events or drug discontinuation due to adverse events. Cocrystal plans to apply to the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency to conduct a Phase 2a human challenge study in early 2023. Subject to regulatory clearance, the study is expected to be initiated in the second half of 2023. CC-42344 is an oral PB2 inhibitor discovered using Cocrystal’s proprietary structure-based drug discovery platform technology. It is specifically designed to be effective against all significant pandemic and seasonal influenza A strains and to have a high barrier to resistance due to the way the virus’ replication machinery is targeted. CC-42344 targets the influenza polymerase, an essential replication enzyme with several highly conserved regions common to multiple influenza strains. In vitro testing showed CC-42344’s excellent antiviral activity against influenza A strains, including pandemic and seasonal strains, as well as against strains resistant to Tamiflu® and Xofluza®, while also demonstrating favorable PK and safety profiles.
