Shionogi & Co., Ltd. (hereafter “Shionogi”) today announced there will be one oral presentation and 17 poster presentations featuring two of the company’s investigational compounds at the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Microbe meeting, being held June 20–24, 2019 in San Francisco. Sixteen poster presentations are on cefiderocol, a late-stage investigational, novel siderophore cephalosporin, and one is on COT-143, a humanized monoclonal antibody.
“Cefiderocol has a unique mechanism of cell entry and is able to overcome the three major mechanisms of carbapenem-resistance of Gram-negative pathogens. The totality of cefiderocol data to be presented at ASM Microbe adds to the growing body of evidence of its potential activity against some of the world’s deadliest pathogens and we look forward to sharing these findings with the scientific community,” said Dr. Tsutae Den Nagata, Chief Medical Officer, Shionogi.
In addition, Shionogi will also present a poster on COT-143, an investigational humanized monoclonal antibody demonstrating anti-virulence activity targeting the PcrV protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Presentations will include data on these Shionogi agents from company-sponsored or investigator-initiated investigational studies.
