Motif Bio to Present Iclaprim Data at ESCMID/ASM Conference
17 Août 2018 - 8:00AM
Motif Bio plc (AIM/NASDAQ: MTFB), a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company specialising in developing novel
antibiotics, today announced that iclaprim data will be presented
at the upcoming European Society of Clinical Microbiology and
Infectious Diseases (ESCMID)/American Society For Microbiology
(ASM) Conference on Drug Development to Meet the Challenge of
Antimicrobial Resistance to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, September
4-7, 2018.
This conference focuses on the development of
new antimicrobial agents for antimicrobial resistance. It is a
multidisciplinary meeting that involves basic scientists, clinical
academics, regulatory bodies, funding bodies and the pharmaceutical
industry. Its scope stretches from chemistry to clinical
development, from neonates to adults, from bacteria to fungi – all
with a global perspective.
David Huang, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Motif
Bio, will give a presentation on iclaprim as part of the
State of the Art Lecture: New Antibacterial Agents
on September 5th, 10:10 AM CET.
In addition, four posters on iclaprim will be
presented at the conference. These will be on display
throughout the event, September 4-7.

Note to Editors:
About Iclaprim
Iclaprim is a novel investigational antibiotic
with a targeted Gram-positive spectrum of activity. In contrast to
commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics, this “precision medicine
approach” is consistent with antibiotic stewardship principles
which, among other things, seek to reduce the inappropriate use of
broad-spectrum products to avoid the build-up of resistance and to
lessen the impact on the microbiome of the patient.
Iclaprim has a different and underutilised
mechanism of action compared to most other antibiotics. Following
positive results from two Phase 3 trials (REVIVE-1 and REVIVE-2), a
New Drug Application (NDA) was submitted to the U.S. Food &
Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of acute bacterial skin
and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and is now under review,
with a PDUFA date of February 13, 2019. To date, iclaprim has
been studied in over 1,400 patients and healthy volunteers.
Clinical and microbiological data indicate that iclaprim has a
targeted Gram-positive spectrum of activity, low propensity for
resistance development and favourable tolerability profile. In
clinical studies, iclaprim has been administered intravenously at a
fixed dose with no dosage adjustment required in patients with
renal impairment or in obese patients. The iclaprim fixed dose may,
if approved, help reduce the resources required in hospitals since
dosage adjustment by health care professionals is avoided and
overall hospital treatment costs may be lower, especially in
patients with renal impairment. Many standard of care Gram-positive
antibiotics are not suitable for hospitalised ABSSSI patients with
renal impairment due to efficacy and/or safety issues.
About Motif Bio
Motif Bio plc (AIM/NASDAQ: MTFB) is a
clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing
novel antibiotics for hospitalised patients and designed to be
effective against serious and life-threatening infections caused by
multi-drug resistant Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA. The
Company’s lead product candidate is iclaprim. Following positive
results from two Phase 3 trials (REVIVE-1 and REVIVE-2), a New Drug
Application (NDA) was submitted to the U.S. Food & Drug
Administration (FDA) for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and
skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and is now under review, with a
PDUFA date of February 13, 2019. More than 3.6 million patients
with ABSSSI are hospitalised annually in the U.S. It is estimated
that up to 26% of hospitalized ABSSSI patients have renal
impairment.
The Company also plans to develop iclaprim for
hospital acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), including ventilator
associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), as there is a high unmet
need for new therapies in this indication. A Phase 2 trial in
patients with HABP has been successfully completed and a Phase 3
trial is being planned. Additionally, iclaprim has been granted
orphan drug designation by the FDA for the treatment of
Staphylococcus aureus lung infections in patients with cystic
fibrosis and is in preclinical development for this indication.
Iclaprim has received Qualified Infectious
Disease Product (QIDP) designation from the FDA together with Fast
Track status. If approved as a New Chemical Entity, iclaprim will
be eligible for 10 years of market exclusivity in the U.S. from the
date of first approval, under the Generating Antibiotic Incentives
Now Act (the GAIN Act). In Europe, 10 years of market exclusivity
is anticipated.
