AN2 Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ANTX) announced FDA clearance of an IND enabling a 90-patient investigator-initiated trial (IIT) of oral epetraborole in Mycobacterium abscessus lung disease. The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be led by Dr. Kevin Winthrop and run across an estimated 10–15 U.S. sites, with patient enrollment expected to begin in 1Q 2026. The program targets a high unmet need: there are currently no FDA-approved therapeutics for M. abscessus and the pathogen is resistant to most oral antibiotics. AN2 cites an estimated 120,000–150,000 U.S. patients with NTM lung disease, with 10–15% due to M. abscessus; positive IIT results could establish human proof of concept and inform a subsequent pivotal trial.

The drug candidate shows potential as a curative treatment for chronic Chagas disease, which affects 6-7 million people globally.
The company expects to complete Phase 1 dosing by end of 2025, with Phase 2 proof-of-concept data anticipated within their cash runway. Preclinical studies in nonhuman primates have demonstrated promising curative potential. Through collaboration with Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), Phase 2 trials are planned to begin in 2026 with data expected in 2027.
AN2 Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ANTX) has announced a strategic collaboration with Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) to advance the clinical development of AN2-502998, an oral drug candidate for chronic Chagas disease treatment. The partnership leverages DNDi's extensive clinical trial network and expertise in Latin America and Spain.
The collaboration aims to accelerate the development of AN2-502998, with Phase 1 first-in-human studies currently starting and Phase 2 studies planned for 2026. Chagas disease, affecting 6-7 million people globally including 300,000 in the U.S., is caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite and can lead to serious heart and gastrointestinal complications in approximately 30% of chronic cases.
AN2 Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ANTX) has completed a significant 200-patient observational study in acute melioidosis, funded by the National Institutes of Health. The study revealed a striking 40% mortality rate by Day 90 among confirmed melioidosis cases, with an additional 25% of screened patients dying before definitive diagnosis.
The study was conducted across three sites in melioidosis-endemic regions, evaluating patients receiving the current standard of care (IV meropenem or ceftazidime). The research was completed in just 11 months and tracked patients for over 90 days, providing critical data for the company's upcoming Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial of epetraborole.
The company plans to submit an IND and initiate its Phase 2 trial later this year. If approved for acute melioidosis treatment, AN2 Therapeutics would seek a priority review voucher and could generate revenue from government stockpiling and treatment use in endemic countries, including the U.S., as B. pseudomallei is classified as a high-priority biothreat agent.
AN2 Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ANTX) announced a poster presentation at the 2025 Colorado Mycobacteria Conference showcasing preclinical data of epetraborole against M. abscessus.
