Combating Respiratory Viral Infections When Patients Need It Most

Fjord Biotech is developing a novel inhaled therapy designed to address respiratory viral infections in vulnerable respiratory patients through local lung delivery — targeting the viral trigger directly while supporting lung health.

Why Now?

Respiratory viruses remain a major driver of hospitalization and disease progression in vulnerable respiratory patients.

Current therapies primarily manage symptoms, while no broadly applicable inhaled antiviral therapy exists today.

When a Common Virus Becomes Serious

For most people, a respiratory virus means a few days of discomfort.

For millions of patients living with chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), the same infection can trigger hospitalization, accelerated disease progression and increased mortality.

A Major Unmet Need in Respiratory Care

Current therapies primarily manage symptoms. They help patients breathe easier, reduce inflammation and manage flare-ups.

However, no broad-spectrum antiviral therapy is available for flare-ups.

Fjord Biotech is developing a therapy designed to target the viral trigger directly while supporting lung health through a dual antiviral and anti-inflammatory mechanism.

Local Treatment. Direct Lung Delivery.

A targeted inhaled therapeutic approach that delivers active compounds directly to the site of infection — maximising efficacy while minimising systemic exposure.

Antiviral Activity

Broad-spectrum antiviral activity demonstrated across multiple respiratory viruses, including RSV, influenza, rhinovirus and SARS-CoV-2.

Anti-Inflammatory Activity

Reduce harmful inflammatory responses associated with respiratory infections — protecting lung tissue during and after viral attack.

Scalable Manufacturing

Produced through industrial fermentation with pharmaceutical-scale manufacturing potential — designed for reliable commercial supply.

Protected Platform

Proprietary technology platform with future expansion opportunities across multiple respiratory indications.

Built on a Strong Scientific Foundation

Engineered for pharmaceutical development and scalable manufacturing.

Fjord Biotech's technology is based on a proprietary highly sulfated polysaccharide platform produced from a marine-derived biological source through controlled industrial fermentation.

The platform is designed to deliver pharmaceutical-grade reproducibility, scalable manufacturing and consistent biological activity.

Highly Sulfated Platform
