SelectImmune Pharma develops novel immunotherapies against bacterial infections as alternatives or complements to antibiotics. Several of the company’s drug candidates have shown protective effects against bacterial infections in animal models, including acute cystitis, severe kidney infection and urosepsis. One drug candidate, the Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1-RA) has successfully been used in the clinic and is currently being investigated in controlled Phase II trials to treat recurrent acute cystitis or bladder pain syndrome.

Bacterial infections affect large parts of the population and are becoming increasingly difficult to treat due to increasing antibiotic resistance. SelectImmune Pharma develops immunotherapies that can supplement or replace antibiotics.

The need for alternative treatments for bacterial infections is currently very large as are potential markets.
