BOZEMAN, Mont., Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Microbion Corporation today announced that the company will be presenting a poster that highlights key clinical study design elements from an ongoing phase 2 study assessing safety and efficacy of topical pravibismane in subjects suffering from moderate infections associated with chronic diabetic foot ulcers at the 2023 Military Health System Research Symposium being held from August 14th to 17th, 2023, at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Kissimmee, FL. This Phase 2 study is funded, in part, by a $2.1 million award from the Naval Medical Research Center, Naval Advanced Medical Development (NMRC-NAMD) through CUBRC, Inc. and the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC). Pravibismane is the first drug in a new class of therapeutics that have a novel mechanism of action and broad-spectrum anti-infective and anti-biofilm activity, including activity against antibiotic-resistant organisms commonly associated with diabetic foot infection (DFI) such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and obligate anaerobic bacteria.
BOZEMAN, Mont. and VANCOUVER, BC, March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Microbion Corporation today announced that a Phase 2, randomized, controlled study has been initiated to assess the safety and efficacy of topical pravibismane for the treatment of subjects with moderate infections of chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). DFU infections are a serious complication of diabetes associated with significant morbidity and mortality. DFU infections are the most frequent diabetic complication requiring hospitalization and may lead to lower extremity amputation if the infection fails to resolve. In 2018, approximately 8.25 million hospital discharges associated with diabetes were reported, including 154,000 for lower-extremity amputation.1 Estimates of 5-year mortality for DFU, minor and major amputations range from 30.5% to 56.6%.2 With the increasing global prevalence of diabetes, novel treatments for DFU infection represent an increasing global unmet need.
BOZEMAN, MT and VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Microbion Corporation today announced that the company will present a poster at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference, November 3 – 5, in Philadelphia, PA highlighting the activity of pravibismane against bacterial pathogens associated with lung infection in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). The objective of this study was to measure the minimal inhibitory concentration of pravibismane on pathogens commonly associated with CF lung infections and to determine whether the presence of pulmonary surfactant impacted pravibismane's activity. Pravibismane's activity was compared to a panel of frontline antibiotics clinically used to manage these infections. Financial support for this study was provided by CARB-X.
