For many years, not just recently there has been a need for more antibiotics and yet just a tiny % of trials are for that. I’m working on over 200 trials and i honestly don’t recall any being for a Novel antibiotic. With Motif already failed at phase 3
Three times, even after the FDA said the drug should not be developed further - ‘ a reason many quoted as being a factor for the FDA to waste so much time etc on the third attempt ‘. I find it hard to see anyone taking this on. It will take tens of millions and several years to get back to the final hurdle. From Roche at the start and many companies since over more than 20 years it is still / or was undergoing . It’s been up for sale and still no buyers. It will be interesting to see how this plays out
