## Challenge ** **

A major pharma company needed scientific and immunology due diligence support on a novel cyclic peptide, targeting the complement cascade system.

## Solution ** **

We reviewed the scientific and mechanistic experiments underpinning the clinical program to understand the risk around a clinical study failing an efficacy endpoint. The research program and resultant data demonstrated a compelling mechanistic rationale to treat the disease and we recommend that our client should proceed from the standpoint of an immunological mechanism of action and scientific merit.
