Eledon Pharmaceuticals Inc (ELDN) Financial

Eledon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical stage biotechnology company using its expertise in targeting the CD40L pathway to develop potential treatments for people requiring an organ or cellular transplant, and for people living with autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease. The company is headquartered in Irvine, California and currently employs 31 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2014-09-17. The firm is developing immune-modulating therapies for the management and treatment of life-threatening conditions. The Company’s lead investigational product is tegoprubart, an IgG1, anti-CD40L antibody with high affinity for CD40 Ligand, a well-validated biological target within the costimulatory CD40/CD40L cellular pathway. The central role of CD40L signaling in both adaptive and innate immune cell activation and function positions it as an attractive target for non-lymphocyte depleting, immunomodulatory therapeutic intervention. Tegoprubart is engineered to potentially both improve safety and provides pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and dosing advantages. CD40L is primarily expressed on activated CD4+ T cells, platelets, and endothelial cells while the CD40 receptor is constitutively expressed on antigen-presenting cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, as well as B cells.
