Products

CLM-022 (inflammasome inhibitor program)

Preclinical small-molecule program targeting NLRP3 inflammasome priming and activation; demonstrated in vitro suppression of IL-1β/IL-18 and pyroptosis in human immune cells and in vivo protection in rodent liver-injury and endotoxemia models following oral and intravenous dosing. The program has been out-licensed to an external development partner for liver disease indications.

NOVS-100 (FABP inhibitor program)

Preclinical small-molecule program focused on inhibition of fatty acid–binding proteins to modulate lipid metabolism and tumor microenvironment biology, intended for oncology and metabolic disease research.

Personalized dendritic cell vaccine workflow (Protexi)

Personalized cancer vaccine workflow that integrates tumor genomic sequencing, computational neoantigen prediction, and ex vivo expanded autologous dendritic cells loaded with patient-specific antigens for immunotherapy development.


Services

Medicinal chemistry support for design, synthesis, optimization and validation of small-molecule candidates provided to development partners.

Execution of in vitro immunology assays and rodent efficacy studies to generate pharmacology, biomarker and mechanism-of-action data for development candidates.

Tumor genomic sequencing (WES/RNAseq) and computational prediction to identify patient-specific neoantigens and prioritize candidates for vaccine or cell therapy loading.

Production workflows for clinical-grade antigen materials and processed cell therapy inputs under GMP to support early-phase clinical studies.

Ex vivo induction and characterization of tolerogenic dendritic cells for applications in autoimmunity and transplant, with supporting preclinical efficacy studies.

Advisory and transactional support to structure licensing deals, joint development agreements, and transfer of early-stage assets to external development partners, including provision of scientific and chemistry support.

News & Updates

Genfit presented preclinical data on CLM-022, licensed from Celloram, demonstrating its potential as a treatment for liver diseases, including ACLF. The data showed the drug's efficacy in inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activity, reducing liver damage and systemic inflammation in animal models.

Genfit showcased preclinical studies demonstrating the capacity of CLM-022 to suppress inflammasome formation, reduce IL-1β secretion, and mitigate pyroptosis, highlighting its potential as a therapy for ACLF.

Celloram announced a licensing agreement with Genfit, granting exclusive global rights to develop CLM-022 for liver diseases. The collaboration aims to advance this first-in-class NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor towards clinical trials.
