Lyon (France) – November 27, 2024, at 02:30 p.m. CET – PHAXIAM Therapeutics (Euronext: PHXM - FR0011471135), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative treatments for severe and resistant bacterial infections, presented an ambitious development strategy to take advantage of the rapidly evolving phage therapy area.

Webinar summary

This Wednesday, November 27, 2024, PHAXIAM's management is holding a presentation webinar "Evolving strategic context for phages, Introducing new opportunities" as well as a round table on the theme "Critical need for individualized phage treatments in Europe" with the participation of experts:

• Dr. Robert SEBBAG (MD, Infectiologist, La Pitié-Salpêtrière – Paris)
  
  
• Dr. Antonia SCOBIE (MD, Infectious Disease Specialist, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust – London)
  
  
• Prof. Dr. med. Volker ALT (MD, Director and Chairman of Department of Trauma Surgery University Medical Centre – Regensburg)
  
  
• Dr. Truong-Thanh PHAM (MD, Infectious Disease Specialist, Geneva University Hospitals – Geneva)

Following major topics related to Phages Therapy addressed during this webinar:

• Millions of patients experience unresolved resistant bacterial/ difficult-to-treat infections every year. Facing this critical medical need, there is a strong demand from Physicians for Phages therapy.
  
  
  
  
• Concurrently with its classical clinical development pathway (Phages Therapy Medical Product = PTMP), EMA has opened options for the commercialization of Individualized Phages Therapy (IPT) through magistral preparations. PTMP and IPT Models are complementary and synergistic approaches that can be managed by PHAXIAM with limited additional resources.
  
  
  
  PTMP and IPT form together a self-reinforcing virtuous cycle for Phages therapy: (1) Commercial success in IPT will help finance PTMP programs and facilitate rapid uptake of future approved medicinal products, (2) Success (clinical validation) in PTMP will help broaden clinical and market acceptance of IPT in areas not yet addressable by PTMP.
  
  
  
  

Outlook

PHAXIAM will benefit from these two complementary strategic pillars (PTMP and IPT):

• IPT model, based on the extension of its personalized treatments internationally, to drive and secure short term revenues (2026-2030), with a potential of ~€20m revenues in 2027 and of at least ~€100m revenues in 2030 by treating patients in the most important European countries, in which magistral preparations are common practices,
  
  
  
  
• PTMP model, with existing AAC, revenues to be increased owing to additional AAC filings, complemented by a potential conditional market approval (CMA) for the Prosthetic Joint Infections Clinical development, based on the GLORIA study, with potential revenues of ~€8m in 2027 and potentially reaching ~€100m in 2030.
  
  
  
  

With this strategy being implemented PHAXIAM expects to reach operating profitability and positive free cash flow in 2027.
