Status
Periodontal disease is a chronic oral inflammatory disease leading to destruction of soft & hard tissues supporting the teeth
Highly prevalent: 65 million US adults afflicted
• Significant morbidity and lost productivity: >$50B in lost productivity in 2010
Associated with increased risk of heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's Disease
• Incorporates proprietary combination of known virulence factors of keystone pathogen
• Preclinical model demonstrated protein-specific IgG response following immunization and protected mice from P. gingivalis-
elicited oral bone loss
Initial goal to develop therapeutic vaccine that slows or stops disease progression
Preclinical proof of concept published in Journal of Clinical Periodontology
Next milestone: Nominate final vaccine candidate in 1H 2022(1)
