A spider venom-derived drug, IB409, enters human trials to treat heart attacks and strokes by preventing oxygen-deprivation damage.
A new drug, IB409, derived from the venom of Australia’s funnel-web spider, has entered Phase 1 human clinical trials to treat heart attacks and strokes.
Developed from the protein Hi1a, the drug aims to prevent tissue damage caused by oxygen deprivation, a condition currently untreated by any existing medication.
The trial, led by Infensa Bioscience and University of Queensland researchers, is assessing safety, tolerability, and dosage.
Funded by a $17.8 million grant, the study represents a major step toward a potential first-in-class therapy that could save lives and reduce disability.
