LABÈGE, France I September 03, 2024 I Antabio , a private biopharmaceutical company developing novel and highly differentiated antibacterial treatments for critical priority pathogens, with a particular focus on life-threatening respiratory infections, today announced that it has completed the Phase 1 clinical trial for MEM-ANT3310 in healthy volunteers. Antabio’s MEM-ANT3310 is a next generation broad-spectrum antibacterial combination that has been designed to address the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance in severe hospital infections. MEM-ANT3310 combines the well-known carbapenem meropenem (MEM) with ANT3310, a breakthrough serine-beta-lactamase (SBL) inhibitor that provides a unique coverage of priority Gram-negative pathogens including OXA-carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), KPC- and OXA- carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). The Phase 1 clinical trial included 72 healthy volunteers across three parts and evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses (SAD/MAD) of the intravenous beta-lactamase inhibitor ANT3310, administered alone. The potential mutual PK interaction between ANT3310 and meropenem was investigated, followed by an assessment of the combination MEM-ANT3310 during multiple intravenous dosing. ANT3310 was well-tolerated at all doses with no serious adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities or clinically relevant abnormalities reported. The ANT3310 PK parameters were consistent with those determined from studies in rodent and non-rodent species and dose-dependent increases in exposure were observed. ANT3310 and meropenem demonstrated very compatible PK with no mutual PK interaction. This positive Phase 1 data supports further patient studies of MEM-ANT3310. “With matching PK and good tolerability, MEM-ANT3310 shows great promise to address serious infections whenever multidrug resistance is a concern in hospitalized patients.” said Marc Lemonnier, CEO of Antabio . “With a uniquely broad coverage, we believe MEM-ANT3310 will be very well positioned to meet the urgent medical needs in high-risk patients, especially when multidrug-resistant pathogens or polymicrobial infections are suspected”. Antabio is currently conducting a Phase 1 PK study of MEM-ANT3310 in subjects with impaired renal function and is planning a second PK study to assess the distribution of MEM-ANT3310 in the lung (epithelial lining fluid) in healthy volunteers. About MEM-ANT3310 Carbapenems such as meropenem are the cornerstone of therapies for many life-threatening infections. Resistance to carbapenems is considered a critical priority by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) because it is a major cause of treatment failure, increased mortality, and huge economic costs. Bacteria resistant to carbapenems produce β-lactamase enzymes that render antibiotics, such as meropenem, ineffective. ANT3310 inhibits a broad range of β-lactamases, including the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPC) and oxacillin-hydrolysing (OXA) type enzymes found in Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and most importantly Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB). The combination of this potent β-lactamase inhibitor with the antibiotic meropenem (MEM-ANT3310) therefore provides a critical solution for the treatment of serious infections that may be caused by MDR pathogens, such as hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP). MEM-ANT3310 has received qualified infectious disease product (QIDP) status from the FDA in 2020 for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) and HABP and VABP. About Antabio Antabio is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel and highly differentiated antibacterial treatments of drug-resistant infections as defined by the CDC and WHO’s critical priority pathogens, with a particular focus on life-threatening respiratory infections, including carbapenem-resistant nosocomial pneumonia and chronic pulmonary diseases. The company’s lead program, MEM-ANT3310, is being developed for the treatment of hospital-acquired infections such as nosocomial pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). Antabio’s portfolio includes additional innovative preclinical programs addressing areas of highest unmet need in the antibacterial space. SOURCE: Antabio

Acino gains commercial rights for EXBLIFEP® (cefepime/enmetazobactam) within the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and South Africa. EXBLIFEP® has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Commission (EC) for the treatment of severe infections earlier in 2024. Saint-Louis, France and Weil am Rhein, Germany and Zurich, Switzerland, June 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allecra Therapeutics (“Allecra”) and Acino today announced the signing of an exclusive licensing agreement under which Acino gains the rights to commercialise Allecra’s antibiotic drug EXBLIFEP® (cefepime/enmetazobactam) within the Republic of South Africa and the member states of the GCC alliance, which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, effective from 12 June 2024. In addition, the companies have signed a supply agreement under which Allecra will supply the cefepime/enmetazobactam finished product in the above territories. “Acino has established itself as a leader in South Africa and the GCC region. They are an ideal partner to support us as we build towards commercialisation of EXBLIFEP® following our regulatory approvals in the US and EU,” stated Andreas Kranzusch, Chief Financial Officer and Managing Director at Allecra Therapeutics. “This agreement reflects the understanding that there remains a significant global need to address the dangerous increase of resistance to standard-of-care antibiotics, and we look forward to working with Acino to address this.” “At Acino, we are dedicated to providing novel healthcare solutions to physicians and patients, aiming to alleviate the health burden in emerging markets. We are incredibly excited to partner with Allecra to offer access to this innovative product in two key geographic regions and, potentially, beyond,” said Andrew Bird, CEO (ai) at Acino. “We are committed to expediting the registration process in these designated markets to ensure hospitals’ swift access to EXBLIFEP® as they continue to fight against high-risk infectious diseases in patients.” About EXBLIFEP® (cefepime/enmetazobactam) EXBLIFEP® is an intravenous antibiotic fixed-dose combination of enmetazobactam, a novel extended-spectrum β-lactamase inhibitor belonging to the penicillanic acid sulfone class, with the fourth-generation cephalosporin cefepime. Enmetazobactam has been shown to restore the efficacy of cefepime against some multi-drug resistant bacteria, including ESBL-producing pathogens alone or in combination with some resistant β-lactamase mutations as OXA-48 or AmpC, which are increasing in Europe and for which there are few therapeutic alternatives. EXBLIFEP® demonstrated statistically significant superior overall treatment success in Allecra’s pivotal Phase III ALLIUM trial, which compared 1034 randomized patients receiving either cefepime 2 g/enmetazobactam 0.5 g or piperacillin 4 g/tazobactam 0.5 g every 8 h as 2 h continuous intravenous infusion in a multi-centre, randomized, controlled, double-blind, global study in 112 sites within nineteen countries. In February 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved EXBLIFEP® as a treatment for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including pyelonephritis, in patients 18 years and older. In March 2024 the European Commission (EC) granted marketing authorisation for EXBLIFEP® for the treatment of adult patients with cUTI, including pyelonephritis; hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), including ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP); and bacteraemia that occurs in association with, or is suspected to be associated with any of the infections listed previously. About Allecra Therapeutics Allecra Therapeutics, founded in 2013, is a private, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies to combat antibiotic resistance by overcoming emergent resistance mechanisms. Lead product candidate EXBLIFEP® (cefepime/enmetazobactam), has successfully completed a randomized, controlled, double-blind, global Phase 3 trial compared to standard of care in patients with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs). Based on these results, the company has received FDA marketing approval in the U.S. and announced approval in the European Union for EXBLIFEP® earlier this year. Allecra has significant patent protection covering proprietary enmetazobactam in major territories. Allecra’s investors include Forbion, Andera Partners, Delos Capital, Xeraya Capital, EMBL Ventures, and BioMedPartners. Allecra’s wholly owned French subsidiary is a beneficiary of financial support from Bpifrance and the Région Alsace. Please visit for further information.
