FDA, the key U.S. health regulatory body, has approved a new antibiotic called Basilea Pharmaceutica. It is reported that this antibiotic can fight bacterial infections that are resistant to other drugs.
The developer company requested approval for its development of ceftobiprole to treat three diseases: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB), as well as acute bacterial infections of the skin and skin structures and out-of-hospital bacterial pneumonia. This drug has demonstrated high efficacy and safety in clinical trials, making it an important tool in the fight against such diseases.
The advantage of this drug is the ability to treat people with infections that are resistant to other drugs. Hypothetically, this could quickly bring this drug to the top and provide a large influx of capital to the company developing the drug. The potential market for this drug is approximately 2.8 million patients per year in the US alone. It is to be expected that the European market for this drug will be approximately twice as large.
Basilea Pharmaceutica is also known for its developments in the field of antimicrobial therapies, particularly the development of innovative drugs to fight infections caused by various microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. Their research and development in this area is of great importance to the medical community and patients suffering from such infections.
