Project description
Combatting superbugs with drug resistance breakthrough
Antimicrobial resistance presents a grave healthcare threat, with multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria causing an increasing number of infections. The urgent need for new antibacterial drugs is amplified by economic challenges hindering development. A key concern is the compromised effectiveness of vital β-lactam antibiotics due to drug-resistant bacteria producing β-lactamase enzymes. In this context, the EIC-funded sbli-ant3310 project emerges as a beacon of hope. By combining meropenem, a well-known antibiotic, with ANT3310, an innovative serine-β-lactamase inhibitor, the project aims to tackle hospital-acquired infections caused by drug-resistant pathogens. Preclinical trials have demonstrated remarkable efficacy against top-priority pathogens. Pending successful clinical trials, ANT3310 is anticipated to be licensed and potentially generate over EUR 10 billion in sales by 2042.
Objective
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are an increasingly serious healthcare threat, exacerbated by major economic issues underlying the development of new antibacterial drugs. The effectiveness of β-lactam antibiotics, the most important class of antibacterial agents, is impaired by the production of β-lactamase enzymes by drug-resistant bacteria.
We are developing a combination of a well-known antibiotic (meropenem) and ANT3310, our proprietary, best-in-class serine-β-lactamase inhibitor, intended for the treatment of hospital-acquired infections caused by drug-resistant pathogens. Our treatment has been pre-clinically proven to be efficacious against all three pathogens deemed a critical priority by the World Health Organization (WHO).
We will conduct three clinical trials and next out-license ANT3310 to a pharmaceutical partner. We expect market approval by 2029 and that ANT3310 will generate over €10bn in sales within 13 years.
