Adaptive Phage Therapeutics is a clinical-stage company advancing therapies to treat multi-drug resistant infections. Prior antimicrobial therapeutic approaches have been "fixed," while pathogens continue to evolve resistance to each of those therapeutics, causing those drug products to become rapidly less effective in commercial use as antimicrobial resistance increases over time.
APT's PhageBank approach leverages an ever-expanding library of bacteriophage (phage) that collectively provide evergreen broad spectrum and polymicrobial coverage.
PhageBank phages are matched through a proprietary phage susceptibility assay that APT has teamed with Mayo Clinic Laboratories to commercialize on a global scale.
APT's technology was originally developed by the biodefense program of US Department of Defense. APT acquired the world-wide exclusive commercial rights in 2017.
Under FDA emergency Investigational New Drug allowance, APT has provided investigational PhageBank therapy to treat more than 40 critically ill patients in which standard-of-care antibiotics had failed.
