Find Clinical Drug Pipeline Developments & Deals for Murepavadin
Inhaled Murepavadin is an antibiotic targeting pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis, non-CF bronchiectasis. It binds to LptD and inhibits lipopolysaccharide transport function of LptD and causes lipopolysaccharide alterations in the bacterium and ultimately, cell death.
The phase I study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple ascending doses of inhaled murepavadin in healthy volunteers and will be jointly funded by Polyphor and the European Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI).
Award will help to fund planned Phase Ib/IIa study of inhaled murepavadin, a novel class antibiotic for the treatment of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis.
