Objectives
  • Preclinical development of DNDI-6174, a drug candidate for leishmaniasis

DNDI-6174 presents a new mode of action to the leishmania portfolio as well as good characteristics of compound in the early research stage. It was nominated as a pre-clinical candidate, and Eisai and Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (Headquarters: Geneva, Switzerland, “DNDi”) collaborate to prepare the way for future Phase I clinical development.

Results and milestones

DNDi through its Drug Combination Development Platform (DCDP) with its partners is aiming to develop a combination therapy based on newly developed New Chemical Entities (NCEs) to achieve short course therapy with satisfactory efficacy having utility for all regions with disease and avoid emergence of drug resistance. This will improve and simplify current case management and support elimination efforts.
