Matinas BioPharma Holdings, Inc. (NYSE AMER: MTNB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the intracellular delivery of nucleic acids and small molecules with its lipid nanocrystal (LNC) platform delivery technology, today announced three upcoming oral data presentations during IDWeek 2022, the premier U.S. meeting of leaders in the field of infectious diseases taking place in-person at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, in Washington DC from October 19-23, 2022.

“The data from these three presentations provide a deeper understanding of MAT2203’s safety profile and impressive efficacy against two of the deadliest invasive fungal infections in cryptococcal meningitis and mucormycosis,” said Theresa Matkovits, Ph.D., Chief Development Officer of Matinas BioPharma. “As we prepare to commence our Phase 3 program with MAT2203, an oral formulation of amphotericin B which enables its safe, convenient, and targeted use, our goal is to secure multiple orphan indications for the treatment of various invasive fungal infections and provide physicians and patients with the potentially ideal antifungal agent.”

Details of the oral presentations include:

  • Efficacy Assessment of MAT2203 Encochleated Oral Formulation of Amphotericin B, in the Neutropenic Mouse Model of Pulmonary Mucormycosis; Presented by: Ashraf Ibrahim, Ph.D., The Lundquist Institute, Infectious Disease Faculty Member at Harbor-UCLA Medical CenterLate Breaking Abstracts: A Tour of ID Topics; Friday, October 21, 2022.

About Matinas BioPharma

Matinas BioPharma is a biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the intracellular delivery of nucleic acids and small molecules with its lipid nanocrystal (LNC) platform technology. The Company is developing its own internal portfolio of products as well as partnering with leading pharmaceutical companies to develop novel formulations that capitalize on the unique characteristics of the LNC platform.

Preclinical and clinical data have demonstrated that this novel technology can provide solutions to many of the challenges in achieving safe and effective intracellular delivery, for both small molecules and larger, more complex molecules, such as mRNA, DNA plasmids, antisense oligonucleotides, and vaccines. The combination of a unique mechanism of action and flexibility with formulation and route of administration (including oral), positions Matinas’ LNC technology to potentially become the preferred next-generation intracellular drug delivery vehicle with distinct advantages over both lipid nanoparticles and viral vectors.

The Company is focused on developing an internal and external pipeline of drugs candidates based on the LNC platform. Internally, the Company has two clinical stage assets. MAT2203 is an oral, LNC formulation of the highly potent antifungal medicine amphotericin B, currently preparing to commence a Phase 3 registration trial in the first quarter of 2023; MAT2501 is an oral, LNC formulation of the broad-spectrum aminoglycoside, amikacin, primarily used to treat chronic and acute bacterial infections, and currently in Phase 1. Externally, the Company has established a broad set of relationships with multiple global pharmaceutical collaborators, including BioNTech (mRNA), the National Institutes of Health and Gilead Sciences (antivirals), and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (small molecules, antisense oligonucleotides, and antibody fragments).
