The agreement covers compassionate use treatment of patients with severe Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections with AmpliPhi's investigational bacteriophage therapeutics AB-SA01 and AB-PA01.
To date, several critically ill patients have received AB-SA01 or AB-PA01 at the Westmead Hospital, under the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration's Special Access Scheme guidelines.
This new agreement will expand and is expected to accelerate the collaboration to supply AB-SA01 and AB-PA01 for additional patients with serious and life-threatening infections, who do not respond to antibiotics, while collecting clinical and microbiological data.
AmpliPhi Biosciences is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on treating antibiotic-resistant infections using its proprietary bacteriophage-based technology.
Its lead product candidates target multidrug-resistant S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, which are included on the WHO's 2017 Priority Pathogens List.
