AZITRA INC. NEW

Azitra presented a dermatology strategy at an investor conference based on modified skin bacteria, recombinant proteins and the licensed SIMPLE gene‑editing platform. Lead program ATR‑04 is in a randomized Phase I/II trial for rashes caused by EGFR inhibitors; initial safety data from cohort 1 are expected in Q3/Q4 2025. Other programs include the cosmeceutical ATR‑COSF (first human study planned for 2025) and the preclinical ATR‑01 for ichthyosis vulgaris; SIMPLE is intended to make genetic modification of bacteria more efficient and cost‑effective. The business is largely in the development stage and in the near term is highly dependent on the upcoming clinical safety and development milestones. » Más en de.investing.com
