OUR APPROACH

Our approach combines strong science, clinical insight and commercial experience to develop respiratory therapies that canmake a meaningful difference to patients.

Icon
Scientific Excellence

We apply rigorous scientific and clinical standards to ourprograms, generating robust evidence to guide development and support well-informed clinical and regulatory decisions.

Build on established respiratory and immunology research

Generate robust clinical evidence through well-designed studies

Deliver demonstrated clinical outcomes that matter to patients

Icon
Patient Purpose

Patients remain at the centre of development decisions. We focus on therapies that reduce exacerbations, including hospital admissions, improve quality of life and lessen the burden of chronic respiratory disease.

Target the causes and consequences of disease progression

Prioritise improvements patients can experience and physicians can measure

Reduce exacerbations, hospital admissions and the broader burden of respiratory illness on patients

Icon
Path to Impact

We bring together development, regulatory and commercial experience to help solve important problems in respiratory care andposition promising therapies for successful partnership and global development.

Design programs with regulatory pathways in view

Prepare assets for strategic development partnerships

Build commercial potential around demonstrated clinical value

why partner

A differentiated respiratory opportunity supported by compelling clinical evidence and with significant commercial potential.

Significant Market Opportunity

COPD is one of the world's most significant respiratory diseases, with repeated bacterial exacerbations and hospital admissions continuing to place a substantial burden on patients and healthcare systems.

Differentiated Therapeutic Approach

HI-164 is an advanced oral immunotherapy designed to enhance mucosal immunity, prevent bacterial exacerbations and complement current standard of care.  The next planned study is an adaptive Phase 2b/3 trial.
