▶ To maintain the US FDA-approved IND for the future out-licensing deal
▶ Plan to proceed Phase 2 with a new out-licensing partnership
▶ AMR problem became much more serious than ever
▶ SAL200 will be AMR solution as a strong candidate for innovative new drugs
BOSTON & SEOUL, August 23, 2022 – iNtRON Biotechnology (“iNtRON”, www.intodeworld.com), announced today that the sponsorship transfer process for the US Phase 2 clinical trial of SAL200 has been completed.
iNtRON has completely taken over the sponsor right of the US FDA IND for SAL200, a new first-in-class biological drug targeting superbugs, from Lysovant. iNtRON will retain all associated rights for the US clinical trials of SAL200 and plans to proceed with them through a new out-licensing partnership to build in the future.
Mr. YOON, Kyung Won, CEO of iNtRON said, “Currently we are proceeding with the tech transfer process of receiving all rights and clinical data related to SAL200 from Lysovant. As it is proceeding smoothly in a friendly partnership between the two companies, all procedures expect to be completed soon.” He added “In this regard, the FDA IND take-over process has completed smoothly as well”
Mr. YOON continued, “SAL200 has received FDA IND approval for the US clinical trial, which makes SAL200 to be far more advanced status than the previous licensing time in 2018. So we can assure that the value of SAL200 as an innovative drug to solve the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) issue has been significantly increased now.”
In fact, US Center for Disease Control (CDC) has recently published the special report <COVID-19 U.S. IMPACT ON ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE>, and it warns that the AMR problem became much more serious than ever due to the excessive use of antibiotics during the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
Mr. YOON said, “The seriousness of the AMR problem continues to be seriously alarmed and at the same time the need for SAL200 as a strong candidate for innovative new drugs to address it will be even greater. We will do our best to find a new out-licensing partner of SAL200, targeting global pharmaceutical companies that are trying to solve the AMR problem as well as Big Pharma.”
