Brii Bio will acquire exclusive global rights for the development and commercialization of QPX9003 (BRII-693), a novel synthetic lipopeptide in development for the treatment of MDR/XDR gram-negative bacterial infections, to expand from its existing rights in Greater China.
Through the acquisition, Shionogi extends its infectious disease innovation platform with the access to a novel investigational beta-lactamase inhibitor, QPX7728 (xeruborbactam), which is being advanced clinically for infections caused by drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
ORAvance (Xeruborbactam) an orally-administered combination product that delivers xeruborbactam to treat infections that occur in outpatient and community setting caused by drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria.
New clinical data for β-lactamase inhibitor xeruborbactam (formerly QPX7728) and synthetic lipopeptide QPX9003, represent new potential therapies for patients with drug-resistant infections – notably carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacterales.
The resulting new lipopeptide QPX9003 is pharmacologically distinct from existing polymyxin drugs with a superior safety and efficacy against experimentally-induced lung infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Qpex exercised a $15 million option from the BARDA, to support the advancement of its anti-infective portfolio which includes OMNIvance, ORAvance and QPX9003, into the clinic intended to comprehensively address patient needs in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
The Phase 1 study will investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of QPX7728 alone following single and multiple intravenous doses, and in combination with a beta-lactam antibiotic in healthy adult subjects.
