About ATI-1801

Licensed from the U.S. Department of Defense through the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity, Appili’s ATI-1801 is a novel topical product with demonstrated safety and efficacy across multiple Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies. As current treatments are often invasive and require hospitalization, ATI-1801 has the potential to significantly reduce suffering from CL by providing patients in need with a safe and effective topical therapy that can be used in the outpatient setting.

“ATI-1801 is a unique opportunity to build on an extensive data set and bring an urgently needed treatment to patients around the world” said Dr. Armand Balboni, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Appili Therapeutics. “Appili is proud to play a part in developing a solution to this long-neglected disease, and Dr. Golan and I are greatly looking forward to sharing our progress at WorldLeish7.”
