IcanoMAB is focusing on the development of new antibodies for the treatment of cancer, immune-system related diseases and COVID-19 in closed collaboration with Charles Dinarello.
IcanoMAB announced that it has received positive regulatory advice for the clinical development of anti-IL-1R7 antibody or IL-8 signaling blockers in late-stage COVID-19. Cytokine-Release-Syndrome can be seen in late-stage COVID-19 patients and other diseases exhibiting systemic hyper-inflammation.
‘IcanoMAB’s novel anti-IL-1R7 antibody blocks the signal transduction of IL-18. It helps to treat Cytokine-Release-Syndrome in COVID-19 late stage.’

Increased IL-18, of IL-1 family, initiate the avalanche of effects in the Cytokine-Release-Syndrome, is known to correlate with the severity of late-stage COVID-19.Read More..
IcanoMAB’s novel anti-IL-1R7 (=IL-18 receptor beta chain) antibody blocks the signal transduction of pro-inflammatory IL-18. Pre-clinical Proof-of-Concept was provided and recently published by scientific partners at the Dinarello Lab, Department of Medicine, University of Colorado Denver, Aurora, Colorado/USA and Department of Medicine, the Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen/The Netherlands and the Department of Infectious Disease and Institute of Clinical Medicine Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus/Denmark.
Other uses will include diseases related to the Cytokine-Release-Syndrome, e.g., Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) or other acute inflammatory diseases, e.g., IBD, Gout and Asthma.
It is centering discussions with interested parties for a development partnership of it’s anti IL-1R7 antagonist antibody.
