Private Company

Total funding raised: $6.7M

Overview

Evrys Bio is an early-stage biotech pioneering a novel antiviral approach through allosteric modulation of the host protein SIRT2. This strategy aims to create broad-spectrum therapies that are less susceptible to viral resistance by targeting the host's metabolic reprogramming during infection. Led by a seasoned team with strong academic and industry backing, the company is advancing its lead candidate, EV-100, while leveraging significant non-dilutive funding. Its platform holds potential not only for infectious diseases but also for conditions like oncology and neurodegeneration.

Opportunities

The urgent global need for pandemic preparedness and broad-spectrum antivirals presents a massive market opportunity.
Success with its lead program could validate a platform with expansion potential into oncology and neurodegenerative diseases, where SIRT2 modulation is also relevant.

Risk Factors

The host-targeted mechanism, while promising for avoiding resistance, carries inherent risks of on-target toxicity in humans.
As a preclinical company reliant on grants, it faces significant scientific, clinical, and future financing risks before proving its concept.

Competitive Landscape

The competitive landscape includes direct-acting antivirals for specific viruses and other companies exploring host-targeted approaches. Evrys Bio's differentiation lies in its specific focus on allosteric SIRT2 modulation for metabolic reprogramming, a novel angle within the host-targeting field.
