TrippBio, Inc. ← Netcapital

Introduction

TrippBio is a new biotechnology company focused on developing innovative applications of existing drugs to prevent and treat rogue viruses starting with the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. Viruses like SARS-CoV-2 lack their own machinery, or ability to replicate independently, so they hijack the host cell machinery to travel into the cell to replicate and then spread throughout the body. TrippBio has discovered that an existing drug, referred to as TD213, can prevent the host cell from assembling SARS-CoV-2 and can dampen hyper-inflammation and severe respiratory symptoms. “Basically, TD213 has a dual mechanism that locks the doors to virus replication, and reduces the negatives consequences of infection,” explains Chief Science Officer, Ralph Tripp, Ph.D..

TrippBio is a SpinUp Campus company. SpinUp Campus connects trailblazing university scientists with public investors to bring life-changing innovations to market.

Deal Highlights

TrippBio is developing a potential treatment for COVID-19, by repurposing an FDA-approved drug, referred to as TD213. TD213 could be used as a preventive or as a treatment for active COVID-19 infection.
Research demonstrates that TD213 could prevent and lessen the severity of COVID-19 by decreasing viral replication. Laboratory studies shows that TD213 can decrease the viral load by 90%.
TD213 will not compete with preventive vaccines. Effective treatments for active COVID-19 infection, as well as vaccines to potentially prevent future infections, are urgently needed.
TD213 will not contribute to viral mutations, meaning it will not lose efficacy over time.
In 2019, the global antivirals market was valued at $52 billion U.S. dollars and is forecasted to reach $75 billion U.S. dollars by 2027, an increase of 23%. Expectations are that the current pandemic will continue to drive up the antivirals market.

Recommendations

“In 30 plus years of working in business development and funding start-ups, SpinUp Campus is the most exciting concept I have seen. It has the potential to yield a great return on investment. The concept to partner with universities to bring groundbreaking science to the masses is revolutionary. SpinUp’s first launch is TrippBio, which has a drug candidate that could essentially cure COVID-19 in days. With the global attention on coronavirus, this has a high potential to be a lucrative investment and improve people's lives.”

“Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar Ralph Tripp has been a prolific researcher at University of Georgia since he arrived in 2004. His work on a vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus has the potential to bring hope to the 60,000 children who are hospitalized due to RSV each year. I’m encouraged that Dr. Tripp is now part of the search for a treatment for COVID-19 and I look forward to seeing his work progress.”

Vice President for Research University of Georgia

Problem

With global confirmed cases of COVID-19 surpassing 27 million, and no sign of abatement in sight, the urgency to find effective treatments and vaccines to combat SARS-CoV-2 continues[1].
Vaccines take a long time to develop and just when they are ready, the virus could mutate, rendering a vaccine ineffective.
"If COVID-19 acts like other coronaviruses, it [vaccine efficacy] likely isn’t going to be a long duration of immunity,” stated Dr. Anthony Fauci, M.D., Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during an interview with JAMA Editor Howard Bauchner[2].
On average, it takes close to one billion U.S. dollars and ten years to bring a new drug to market[3].
Even though timelines are accelerated due to the pandemic, the world cannot afford to waste any time, or opportunities, to identify safe, effective treatments that can be administered as soon as possible.
"While we're waiting for a vaccine, drugs currently being used to treat other illnesses can be investigated as treatments for COVID-19 - in other words repurposed," said Dr. Steve Alexander from the University of Nottingham[4].

Solution

TrippBio is focused on developing innovative applications of existing drugs to prevent and treat rogue viruses, starting with SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes COVID-19.
TrippBio works on therapeutic treatments for respiratory diseases that work with your body's natural defenses. This way, it doesn't matter if the virus mutates; the therapy still helps your body to fight the illness.
By repurposing TD213, a drug with an excellent safety profile, TrippBio can pursue a rapid development path while proving efficacy against COVID-19.
TD213 has documented pharmacokinetics (how the body processes the drug) and safety profiles in humans and dampens hyper-inflammation and severe respiratory (influenza) virus disease.
By investing in TrippBio, you will be investing in your future while helping the world to combat COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

Business Model

TrippBio management anticipates having multiple revenue generation, financing and exit options for TD213, as well as other drugs currently under investigation. These options include, but are not limited to:

TrippBio markets and sells a proprietary application of TD213.
TrippBio licenses the intellectual property rights to an established pharmaceutical company.
TrippBio lists on NASDAQ or NYSE.
TrippBio offers the company for sale and is acquired.

Market

Background

Viruses are hijackers; small, parasitic terrorists that invade a living cell and take control. Once they have taken over the human cell, or host, they replicate and deploy their viral army throughout the body, at times causing severe illness or long-term complications, and even death.

The most common viruses affect the respiratory system, like influenza, pneumonia and coronaviruses. Respiratory virus infections may cause severe illness in infants, the elderly and those with lung or heart disorders and other illnesses.

Treating viruses is challenging, as these invaders, by their nature, are always mutating and evolving. While preventive vaccines are key to potentially controlling or slowing the viruses, defeating the enemy requires a multi-pronged effort. Antiviral treatments for active infection will be needed for years to come.

Market Size

In 2019, the global antivirals market was valued at $52 billion U.S. dollars and is forecasted to reach $75 billion U.S. dollars by 2027, an increase of 23%. This valuation could extend even higher given the intense focus brought on by the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Competitive Landscape

Scientists and researchers across the world are working tirelessly to develop effective treatments for COVID-19. Currently, extensive work in happening in the vaccine, prophylactic and therapeutic areas. Vaccines work with the body’s natural defenses to develop immunity to disease, and while vaccine development is being fast-tracked for COVID-19, a solution, where efficacy can be measured, is likely several years away. Then there is the issue of durability of protection, meaning how long the vaccine remains effective against this virus. According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, M.D. and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, that’s the larger issue,

“I’m more concerned about the ability to get a durability of response versus getting a protective response in the first place. [Previous vaccines] for [human] coronaviruses have only shown a durability of protection for a year or less.”

JAMA Network, Dr. Fauci Interview with JAMA Editor-in-Chief Howard Bauchner, M.D. June 2, 2020

Antiviral drugs are specifically used to treat viral infections and primarily are focused on inhibiting viral replication. Currently, there are no FDA-approved medicines specifically for coronavirus, though multiple therapies and new drug development are being explored. At this time, only one marketed drug has shown a positive response to treating symptoms of COVID-19 and this is an intravenous product for use in hospitals.

"There's unlikely to be a single magic bullet - we will probably need several drugs in our armory, some that will need to be used in combination with others. The important thing is that these drugs are cheap to produce and easy to manufacture. That way, we can ensure access to affordable drugs across the globe, not just for wealthier nations," states Dr. Steve Alexander of the University of Nottingham[1].

But this area of research – into respiratory viruses overall, and more specifically coronaviruses – is not new for TrippBio. Chief Science Officer, Ralph Tripp, Ph.D., and his team at the University of Georgia have been focused on it for quite some time,

“For years, my lab has studied virus and host interactions across respiratory illnesses like influenza, RSV [respiratory syncytial virus] and SARS [severe acute respiratory syndrome] which is one of the human coronaviruses. Though viruses are different, they replicate in the same way, that is, by hijacking host cells. Once you understand how the virus interacts with the host, you can begin to see the road map for replication,” said Dr. Tripp.

“We’ve been doing work with TD213 and its impact on influenza and other viruses for the last five to six years. There was little interest in it because vaccines and treatments for flu were already available, despite their varying degrees of efficacy. Then, coronavirus hit,” stated Dr. Tripp.

The fact that TrippBio is focused on repurposing existing drugs means getting the treatment to those who need it will be faster than new drugs that require intense, long-term testing for safety in humans, even before efficacy trials begin.

"While we're waiting for a vaccine, drugs currently being used to treat other illnesses can be investigated as treatments for COVID-19 - in other words repurposed," said Dr. Steve Alexander from the University of Nottingham[1].

Previously, those known as major players in the biotechnology and research space, a.k.a. “big pharma” were predominantly leading the charge in drug therapy development. However, now, given the intense focus on COVID-19, all significant contributions from smaller research teams and university scientists have an opportunity to enter this market. As a result of the Title III JOBS Act and Regulation CF, companies like TrippBio, who are small in size, but large in potential, talent and commitment, have the opportunity to get to market. Only one thing is missing: you.

Progress

TrippBio is researching several drug therapies to combat respiratory viruses. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, TrippBio’s primary focus is on TD213, the active ingredient in a currently approved and safe product used to treat another disease for over 40 years. Initial research focused on in vitro studies (outside of a living organism) using isolated cells in tissue culture. These cell lines allow studies directly on TD213’s mechanism of action on the virus. Results demonstrate that TD213 is highly effective in decreasing virus levels in vitro.

Even more promising, the results from a recently concluded in vivo study (within a living organism) using mammalian models demonstrate that TD213 could both prevent and lessen the severity of COVID-19 by decreasing the virus count. If similar results are seen in human trials, TD213 could not only reduce patient suffering, it could help control the spread of COVID-19.

AFTER 3 DAYS OF TREATMENT, THE VIRUS COUNT WAS DECREASED BY 90% COMPARED TO ANIMALS TREATED WITH PLACEBO.

Progress — SARS-CoV-2 / TD213 In Vivo Test July 2020, Ralph Tripp, Ph.D., University of Georgia

With this news, TrippBio plans to quickly move into human clinical trials to determine the efficacy of the drug to treat COVID-19 patients. The drug development program and clinical trials will be conducted through a partnership with Florida Atlantic University and Linical, a world-class Contract Research Organization with deep experience in infectious disease clinical trials such as Ebola and SARS. Capital from this raise will be used to fund the trials.

The investment environment over the last year has been challenging, and although we have been unable to secure a large equity round, we have been successful in raising smaller tranches that have enabled us to make incremental progress. We have made significant scientific progress with 7 publications describing the in vitro and in vivo activity of PanCytoVir against SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and RSV. Importantly, one of these papers (https://doi.org/10.3390/v16010152) described the very potent activity of PanCytoVir against the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, H5N1, that has been in the news recently for infecting dairy cows. We continue to expand our knowledge about what other viruses PanCytoVir can inhibit as well as exactly how it inhibits viral replication. Our CPA firm is developing Reviewed Financials for year-end 2023, which will be posted promptly.

TrippBio Investors: We have 4 points we’d like to share with you.

#1: Our Phase 2 study published on July 6th in the peer reviewed MDPI Viruses journal shows that we delivered better results than Pfizer’s $5+ billion-dollar drug Paxlovid. (https://doi.org/10.3390/v15071508). We have a potential “Blockbuster” drug that could save many lives from the COVID-19 virus (that continues to be a major health threat worldwide).

#2: We recently completed a pre-clinical study on PanCytoVir’s efficacy against Influenza in animal studies – along with a comparison of Tamiflu’s efficacy (Tamiflu is currently the primary therapeutic for Influenza, with over $1 billion in revenue). The results of the study showed that PanCytoVir is MORE EFFECTIVE at reducing viral lung titers and preventing weight loss than Tamiflu. We plan to launch a Phase 2 study shortly.

Dear TrippBio Investors, We wanted to provide...
Dear TrippBio Investors,

We wanted to provide a quick update on our progress this year. There have been two major material changes in the Company subsequent to December 31, 2020.

The first is that in March of 2021 the Company received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on its patent for using TD213 for treatment of coronavirus infections.

The second major change is that Phil Young resigned from the CEO position in March 2021 and David Martin (a current Board Member) was installed as the new CEO.

In addition, on 26 May 2021 we announced publication of data supporting the antiviral potency of TD-213 against SARS-CoV-2. The data is undergoing scientific peer-review for publication and is available in an online preprint server at:

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.21.445119v1

We have posted press releases discussing these developments along with our 2020 Annual Report on our website (www.TrippBio.com). We encourage you to visit the website and review these documents and to familiarize yourself with our program.

We wish you the best and encourage everyone to get vaccinated and wear a mask.

Hello from TrippBio! We’re excited to see so...
Hello from TrippBio! We’re excited to see so much interest in Dr. Tripp’s work and specifically in the potential for TD213. We recently received some excellent questions from a potential investor and wanted to share the questions and our responses. If you have questions, please post them in the Discussion area. Thanks again.

Question1: How many patients will be enrolled in the pilot study?

Response: The Pilot study and subsequent Ph II/III study are distinctly different. We plan to enroll 10-20 patients in this Pilot with mild to moderate active COVID-19 infection. This Pilot study is a Proof of Concept and we plan to use it to demonstrate that the animal and lab data is reproducible in humans.

Question2: What are the key inclusion and exclusion criteria for the pilot study population?

Response: The list of inclusion and exclusion criteria are too detailed to go into. It should suffice to say that our criteria will largely mirror other studies in the space and will be finalized once we have final FDA input.

Question 3: Is the additional Reg D funding sufficient to enroll the projected 600 patients in the full Phase 2 study? Over what timeframe?

Response: The Reg D is not designed to get the large PH II/III study funded. We intend to use the money to finalize the POC study and work on the regulatory approach, product development and other necessary development activities all geared toward an ultimate FDA approval.

Question 4: Are the inclusion and exclusion criteria the same as for the pilot study? Response: See response to question above.

Question 5: What are the clinical endpoints? Viral load only, or clinical signs and symptoms as well? Is there FDA guidance on endpoints needed for EUA?

Response: This type of information is generally not shared unless a large investor is under a non-disclosure agreement.

Question 6: Are there any preclinical data comparing TD213 to a SARS-CoV2 neutralizing antibody, and to combinations of the two (additive, synergy or interference)?

Response: As of this time, preclinical tests have not been conducted comparing TD213 to a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody or to the combinations described.

Question 7: Has the Company secured a supply chain for TD213? How many doses can be produced over what timeframe? Is a cold chain required for storage and distribution?

Response: This is proprietary information and not shared with the public.
