The StradomerTM Platform
GL-2045 is Gliknik's lead recombinant stradomerTM for autoimmune diseases. It has demonstrated potent efficacy in animal models of arthritis, organ transplant, inflammation, and autoimmune disease. GL-2045 is one of many active compounds from the stradomerTM platform, a series of recombinant compounds designed to compete with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and antibody therapies used in immune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. IVIG is a $3 Billion product pooled from tens of thousands of donors and used in many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that are characterized by autoantibodies and hyperaggressive T cells. Despite its commercial success and usefulness in patients, IVIG has numerous drawbacks including high cost, scarce supply, potentially serious reactions, extended infusion time, and a persistent concern about infectious risks.
