Cidara Therapeutics reports Q2 EPS ($1.65), consensus ($1.82)

“The highly compelling results of our Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial for CD388 and subsequent financing puts us in a position of strength to execute on our Phase 3 plan to examine the potential of CD388, a non-vaccine solution, to provide single-dose per season, universal protection against influenza in individuals at greatest risk from influenza,” said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Cidara. “Our planned Phase 3 development program focuses initially on individuals with compromised immune systems or those at a heightened risk of severe illness due to underlying health conditions. We have submitted an End-of-Phase 2 meeting request to the FDA to discuss our planned Phase 3 study design and start timing.”
