About INFLARX NV

InflaRx N.V. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm dedicated to discovering and developing novel inhibitors leveraging C5a technology, primarily operating in Germany and the United States. The company's focus on C5a stems from its critical role as an inflammatory mediator implicated in the progression of various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Its primary product candidate, vilobelimab, is an innovative, first-in-class anti-C5a monoclonal antibody delivered intravenously. Vilobelimab has progressed through several clinical stages for multiple indications: It has successfully completed a Phase III clinical trial for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a rare, chronic, and debilitating systemic inflammatory skin condition. It is currently undergoing Phase II trials for anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody associated vasculitis (AAV), a rare and life-threatening autoimmune disorder, and for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor resistant/refractory locally advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). An exploratory Phase IIa study is also underway for pyoderma gangraenosum (PG), a chronic inflammatory skin disorder. Beyond its lead candidate, InflaRx is also advancing INF904, an oral, small molecule drug candidate targeting undisclosed chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and IFX002, which is in preclinical development for chronic inflammation and autoimmune conditions. Strategic collaborations include a co-development agreement with Beijing Defengrei Biotechnology Co. Ltd. and a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck & Co. Inc. Established in 2007, the company, initially known as Fireman B.V., officially became InflaRx N.V. in 2017. It maintains its headquarters in Jena, Germany, with operations extending to the United States.
