Problem
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the world's most pressing medical problems, with 1.27 million deaths annually and a projected 2050 death toll exceeding cancer. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics—the current standard of care for bacterial infections—is the root cause of this crisis, leaving patients vulnerable to recurrent infections that are increasingly difficult to treat.
Solution
Proxi Biotech is developing novel, safe, and highly immunogenic toxoid-based active immunotherapies that train the patient's own immune system to fight off bacterial re-infections. By leveraging a proprietary and patent-pending technology platform, the company aims to reduce dependence on antibiotics and provide a preventive approach to managing recurrent infections. The pipeline focuses on high-priority unmet needs, including recurrent Clostridium difficile infection and recurrent urinary tract infection, with the goal of lowering the clinical and economic burden of AMR on healthcare systems.
Target Audience
Primary customers are healthcare systems, hospitals, and public health organizations seeking preventive solutions for patients at high risk of recurrent bacterial infections, particularly those caused by drug-resistant pathogens.
