Arch Biopartners 2015 AGM Results and Technology Status Update - Seite 2

Arch management has begun planning the clinical development of its candidate drug for treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa pulmonary infection in cystic fibrosis patients.

Last month, Arch entered into a one-year option agreement with the University of Cincinnati to exclusively license the commercial rights to existing and provisional U.S. Patents for the new drug treatment.

Arch management considers the scope of this license to be an important area for further development, as there is an urgent need for novel and effective treatments for pulmonary infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Peptide-Solid Surface Interface

During 2014, Arch scientists performed pre-clinical and validation studies to further develop the commercial potential of the peptide-solid surface technology in various applications. Following these studies, Arch has concluded that the peptide-solid surface interface continues to show commercial promise and warrants further product development in 2015 in the following two areas: (i) reducing corrosion of stainless steel and other metals in industrial (non-medical) applications; and (ii) biofilm inhibition and biocompatibility of metals and plastics used in the medical device industry, with a focus on renal dialysis.

Metablok™

Research with Metablok™ is ongoing to complete preclinical development in the areas of sepsis and the prevention of cancer metastasis. Basic pharmacology and toxicology evaluation is also ongoing. Arch anticipates the completion of a clinical development plan in 2016.
