Azitra, Inc. (NYSE American: AZTR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies for precision dermatology, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and provided a business update.
Q1 2024 and Recent Business Highlights
Francisco Salva, CEO of Azitra, commented:
"Azitra has made significant progress in 2024, advancing towards crucial milestones and potentially transformative catalysts, including key data readouts. Our lead program, ATR-12, has secured clinical sites and identified Netherton syndrome patients for enrollment in our 12-patient, Phase 1b clinical trial, which will assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy endpoints. We expect to announce initial safety data before year end.
We also announced novel preclinical findings at ASGCT related to ATR-12, showcasing its potential for superior LEKTI delivery compared to topical LEKTI application when administered to ex vivo human skin. Moreover, preclinical evidence suggests that ATR-12 can markedly reduce IL-36g, a pro-inflammatory cytokine implicated in Netherton syndrome, further validating the potential of our approach.
In addition, we made notable progress with ATR-04, targeting EGFRi-associated rash in cancer patients. Following a successful pre-IND meeting with the FDA, we plan to submit an IND for a Phase 1b trial by mid-2024. Subject to FDA clearance, we aim to initiate the trial before year-end in patients undergoing a rash due to EGFR inhibitors.
In February 2024, we completed a follow-on public offering, garnering $5.0 million in gross proceeds, which will support the advancement of our clinical programs. Additionally, we bolstered our IP portfolio with the issuance of a U.S. patent from the USPTO for treating skin diseases, including ichthyosis vulgaris, a condition affecting roughly 1.3 million Americans, using recombinant microorganisms.
Furthermore, we are encouraged by the recent advancements in our Joint Development Agreement with Bayer and their renewed commitment to executing a license agreement.
With a robust pipeline, strong partnerships, and upcoming value-driving milestone announcements, we believe Azitra is poised to revolutionize the treatment landscape for severe skin conditions and deliver significant shareholder value in the near future."
