Debiopharm International SA to Present the Latest Findings on Debio 1450 at ECCMID

Switzerland (ots/PRNewswire)

Debiopharm will be present at ECCMID in Amsterdam to share new data supporting the clinical development of its first in class Staphylococcus-selective antibiotic Debio 1450

Debiopharm International SA (Debiopharm), part of Debiopharm Group(TM), a Swiss-based global biopharmaceutical company, today announced three communications on the investigational compound Debio 1450 at ECCMID 2016 in Amsterdam. Not only do these non-clinical data demonstrate the very high potency of Debio 1450 on numerous clinical isolates, but they also indicate that this compound may have an attractive therapeutic potential in hard-to-treat staphylococcal bone and joint infections.

"We are very pleased to present this new set of evidence which further illustrates the unique potency of our compound on clinically relevant Staphylococcus strains as well as supports our efforts to broaden the scope of our clinical development," said Dr Nigel McCracken, Vice President, Translational Medicine, Debiopharm International SA. "Osteomyelitis is a huge unmet medical need and these new findings continue to provide strong evidence for the potential clinical utility of our compound in this area where innovative therapeutic options are desperately needed."

About Debio 1450

Debio 1450 is a prodrug of Debio 1452 benefiting from both oral and IV formulations. It is a highly potent, staphylococci-specific antibiotic with a very low propensity to emergence of resistance. This first-in-class FabI inhibitor, active on all staphylococcus-resistant strains tested to date (MRSA, VISA, VRSA, LRSA), entered into Phase II ABSSSI in May 2015 and is perfectly suited to tackle several additional hard-to-treat Staphylococci-related infections.
