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.
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.
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.

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.
A targeted inhaled therapeutic approach that delivers active compounds directly to the site of infection — maximising efficacy while minimising systemic exposure.
Broad-spectrum antiviral activity demonstrated across multiple respiratory viruses, including RSV, influenza, rhinovirus and SARS-CoV-2.
Reduce harmful inflammatory responses associated with respiratory infections — protecting lung tissue during and after viral attack.
Produced through industrial fermentation with pharmaceutical-scale manufacturing potential — designed for reliable commercial supply.
Proprietary technology platform with future expansion opportunities across multiple respiratory indications.
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.
