(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 September 30, 2024 and provided a business update.

Q3 2024 and Recent Business Highlights:

  • Completed a follow-on offering of $10 million in gross proceeds
  • Dosed first Netherton syndrome patient with ATR-12
  • Submitted an IND to the FDA and received IND clearance for ATR-04 to treat skin rash from EGFR inhibitors

Francisco Salva, CEO of Azitra commented:

"Azitra achieved a number of significant milestones in the third quarter of 2024 to propel our pipeline forward, highlighted by the dosing of the first patient with ATR-12 in our ongoing Netherton syndrome trial. Additionally during the quarter, we completed a follow-on offering of $10 million in gross proceeds, submitted an IND for ATR-04 for skin rash from epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRis), obtained IND clearance and Fast Track designation for ATR-04, and strengthened our IP portfolio.

"With a clear roadmap, strong execution on two programs, and a dedicated team, Azitra is well-positioned to execute these milestones, deliver transformative therapies to patients in need, and ultimately maximize shareholder value."

Pipeline and Anticipated Milestones 

  • Q1 2025: Initial safety data from first set of Netherton syndrome patients in the Phase 1b trial
  • Q1 2025: First patient dosed with ATR-04 for EGFRi rash in a Phase 1/2 trial
  • YE 2025: Topline data of the Phase 1b trial with ATR-12 in Netherton syndrome patients expected

About ATR-12

ATR-12 (also known as ATR12-351) is an engineered strain of S. epidermidis that expresses a fragment of human lympho-epithelial Kazal-type-related inhibitor (LEKTI) protein, which is missing in patients with Netherton syndrome, a chronic and sometimes fatal disease of the skin estimated to affect approximately 20,000 patients globally. ATR-12 has been engineered to deliver missing LEKTI protein when applied topically to Netherton syndrome patients. Azitra has an open Phase 1b clinical trial that is actively recruiting adult Netherton syndrome patients (NCT06137157). Azitra has identified Netherton syndrome patients for enrollment in its 12-patient, Phase 1b clinical trial, which will assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy endpoints.

About ATR-04

ATR-04 is a live biotherapeutic product candidate including an isolated, naturally derived S. epidermidis strain that was engineered to be safer by deleting an antibiotic resistance gene and engineering auxotrophy to control the growth of ATR-04. ATR-04 is in development for EGFR inhibitor ("EGFRi") associated rash, which is caused by the suppression of skin immunity by EGFRis and subsequent inflammation and often elevated levels of IL-36γ and S. aureus. There are approximately 150,000 patients suffering from EGFRi rash in the United States. Azitra has received Fast Track designation from the FDA for EGFRi associated rash and plans to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical study in patients undergoing EGFRi rash in early 2025.

About Azitra, Inc.

Azitra, Inc. is an early-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies for precision dermatology using engineered proteins and topical live biotherapeutic products. The Company has built a proprietary platform that includes a microbial library comprised of approximately 1,500 unique bacterial strains that can be screened for unique therapeutic characteristics. The platform is augmented by artificial intelligence and machine learning technology that analyzes, predicts, and helps screen the Company's library of strains for drug like molecules. The Company's initial focus is on the development of genetically engineered strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis, or S. epidermidis, which the Company considers to be an optimal therapeutic candidate species for engineering of dermatologic therapies.
