A Pipeline to Explore
the Extraordinary

Odyssey’s pipeline focuses on targets that address patient populations with significant unmet need within immunology. By leveraging our expertise in immunology and strategically employing two therapeutic modalities—small molecules and protein therapeutics—we aim to develop innovative medicines that make significant advancements over the standard of care. Each program is focused on modulating the root of inflammatory dysregulation through highly selective targeting of key nodes of inflammatory signaling.

RIPK2 (OD-07656)

Small molecule therapeutic
Ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s
disease

Mechanism

OD-07656 is an oral small molecule RIPK2 scaffolding inhibitor. We believe that blocking RIPK2 scaffolding with XIAP has the potential to block downstream pathway signaling and activation of proinflammatory cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems that drive pathology and produce high levels of cytokines (e.g., TNF, TNF-like cytokine 1A, or TL1A, and interleukin 23, or IL-23) that each are validated therapeutic targets for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

IRAK4 SCAFFOLDING INHIBITOR

Small molecule therapeutic
Atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, osteoarthritis

Mechanism

An oral small molecule IRAK4 scaffolding inhibitor designed to block inflammatory signaling by the myddosome, a protein complex found in multiple cell types across tissues. The myddosome serves as a key junction of inflammatory signaling where innate immune signals converge to initiate a broad downstream cytokine response. Our program is designed to address the shortcomings of other programs targeting IRAK4, including small molecule kinase inhibitors and degraders, by achieving the desired pharmacology to block cytokine production across disease-relevant cell types, both inside and outside of the immune system. We believe IRAK4 scaffolding inhibition has the potential to be developed for multiple inflammatory diseases, including atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa and osteoarthritis.

TNFR2 (OD-00910)

Protein therapeutic

Systemic lupus erythematosus, vitiligo, type 1 diabetes

Mechanism

OD-00910 is a monospecific tetravalent V-body designed to agonize TNFR2 selectively on Treg. TNFR2 is a surface receptor that is highly expressed on Treg with relatively limited expression on other cell types. Agonizing TNFR2 on Treg can reduce inflammation by increasing Treg number, improve Treg immunosuppressive function and tissue homing, and enable Treg to retain a stable immunosuppressive phenotype. We believe these features can unlock the full potential of a Treg-targeted therapy and address the shortcomings of historical approaches, such as IL-2.

TSLP/IL-33

Protein therapeutic
Asthma

Mechanism

We are developing a TSLP/IL-33 bispecific antagonist designed to address upstream cytokine redundancy and improve suppression of inflammation. TSLP and IL-33 are two alarmins that are promising targets for the treatment of inflammatory conditions like Type 2 and non-Type 2 asthma because of their redundant function in activating common inflammatory pathways. TSLP antagonists are approved to treat asthma and IL-33 antagonism has shown clinical activity in respiratory diseases.

NLRP1

Small molecule therapeutic
Systemic sclerosis

Mechanism

We are developing a small molecule inhibitor of NLRP1, an innate immune sensor designed to activate an inflammasome complex that controls the production of IL-1β, IL-18 and a form of cell death called pyroptosis. Upon activation caused by cellular stress (e.g., ribotoxic stress), NLRP1 initiates proinflammatory responses that can lead to autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Close
MDA5

Small molecule therapeutic
Sjögren’s syndrome

Mechanism

We are developing a small molecule inhibitor of MDA5, an innate immune sensor responsible for detecting RNA. Upon detection of endogenous RNA, MDA5 initiates proinflammatory responses that lead to autoinflammatory and autoimmune disease.
