Island Pharmaceuticals (ASX:ILA) is a mid clinical-stage drug repurposing company focused on infectious diseases
About us
Island (ASX: ILA) is a drug repurposing company, focused on the rapid development of antiviral therapeutics for infectious diseases. We have a lead asset – ISLA-101 - that was initially developed by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Isla Pharmaceuticals. ISLA-101 is a drug with a well-established safety profile, being repurposed for the prevention and treatment of dengue fever and other mosquitoes (or vector) borne diseases. Dengue fever is the very definition of an unmet medical need. While 390 million humans are infected each year, it is thought that around 30-50% of people with the disease do not present with symptoms, enabling the virus to spread within communities. Warming global climates are accelerating the presence of mosquito-borne viruses that can cause death to the US, Europe and Australia There is no specific pharmaceutical treatment and the one vaccine which exists is available to a highly restricted audience. Island has repurposed ISLA-101, an antiviral oral drug to treat mosquito-borne viruses (eg dengue fever / Zika) and intends to complete Phase II studies with a significantly de-risked clinical program.

According to Peter Sanders from the ABC, the beginning of 2025 saw an alarming surge in mosquito-borne viruses across Queensland, Australia. With dengue cases more than tripling compared to previous years in the state, it is clear that dengue is spreading and growing in regions that have not historically been endemic – a highly concerning global trend of the past few years. The escalating situation in Queensland is a stark reminder of why proactive research and development of dengue therapeutics are critical. There is currently no treatment and limited viable vaccine options, leaving prevention and treatment of this disease an urgent unmet medical need. Island Pharmaceuticals is currently running our Phase 2a/b clinical study exploring the potential use of our drug ISLA-101 as both a preventative and treatment for #dengue. We look forward to providing an update on the Phase 2b results in the coming months, as we continue to explore the possibility of finding a solution to this global health crisis. https://lnkd.in/gfzXYfsS #mosquitobornedisease #antiviraltherapeutics #ILA

Island Pharmaceuticals is pleased to announce that all subjects have now been enrolled for the Phase 2b arm of the ISLA-101 Phase 2a/b clinical trial in dengue fever. Divided into two cohorts, the Phase 2a/b clinical trial aims to understand if ISLA-101 can be an effective prophylactic (preventative, Phase 2a) and/or therapeutic (treatment, Phase 2b) against a dengue infection. In the Phase 2b study, subjects were administered an attenuated strain of dengue virus first, before they are treated with ISLA-101 and then observed to see if the drug candidate can reduce virus level and symptoms. Island progressed to Phase 2b trial based on the recommendation of the Safety Review Committee, who determined that ISLA-101 was safe and exhibited antiviral activities upon reviewing the results of the Phase 2a study. All ten subjects for the Phase 2b clinical trial have now been enrolled, with initial results expected around April 2025. Full results from the unblinded data of both the Phase 2a and Phase 2b cohorts can be expected in Q4 FY2025. Island CEO and Managing Director Dr David Foster said: "We are pleased to have reached this important milestone in our PROTECT clinical trial. The enrolment of the final six subjects in the Phase 2b therapeutic arm is a significant advancement in our clinical trial, and towards better understanding the potential of ISLA-101 as a treatment for dengue fever."
