Azitra, Inc. (NYSE American: AZTR) announced a late-breaking presentation at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2024 in Amsterdam. Dr. Mary Spellman will present on September 26, 2024, discussing the development of ATR-04, a live biotherapeutic product for treating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor-induced dermal toxicity.
ATR-04 is an engineered Staphylococcus epidermidis strain designed to be safer by deleting an antibiotic resistance gene and controlling growth through auxotrophy. It targets EGFRi-associated skin toxicity, which affects approximately 150,000 patients in the United States. Azitra has an active IND for a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of ATR-04, which has received Fast Track designation from the FDA.
The presentation will cover ATR-04's preclinical development and details of the planned clinical trial. It will be available on Azitra's website after the event.
Azitra (NYSE American: AZTR) has received Fast Track Designation from the FDA for ATR-04, a topical treatment for moderate to severe skin rash caused by Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor inhibitors (EGFRi). This designation recognizes the unmet medical need for treating EGFRi-associated dermal toxicity, which affects approximately 150,000 patients in the US, representing a $1 billion market opportunity.
ATR-04 is a live biotherapeutic product containing an engineered Staphylococcus epidermidis strain. Azitra plans to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial by the end of 2024. The Fast Track status may accelerate ATR-04's development and review process, potentially offering cancer patients a much-needed alternative to current off-label treatments or therapy discontinuation.

Azitra (NYSE American: AZTR) has initiated dosing in its Phase 1b clinical trial of ATR-12 for Netherton syndrome, a chronic genetic skin disease. The study will enroll about 12 adult patients with twice-daily treatment for 14 days, focusing on safety and tolerability as primary endpoints. Secondary endpoints include efficacy signals and biomarkers. Azitra expects to report interim safety data in early 2025 and full results in the second half of 2025.
ATR-12 is a proprietary strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis engineered to express therapeutic levels of an active LEKTI protein subunit. The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study (NCT06137157) will treat patients with 109 CFU / g of ATR-12 or its vehicle control twice daily on contralateral body sides.
Azitra (NYSE American: AZTR) has received FDA clearance for an IND application to conduct a Phase 1/2 clinical study of ATR-04, targeting moderate to severe EGFR inhibitor-associated dermal toxicity. This condition affects an estimated 150,000 patients in the US, representing a global market size exceeding $1 billion. ATR-04, a live biotherapeutic product, has shown promise in preclinical studies by reducing IL-36γ and Staphylococcus aureus, key factors in EGFRi-associated skin rash. The company plans to initiate a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial by the end of 2024. This development expands Azitra's clinical pipeline, addressing a significant unmet need for cancer patients receiving EGFR inhibitors who often experience severe skin side effects.
Azitra (NYSE American: AZTR) has screened the first patient for its Phase 1b clinical trial of ATR-12, a potential treatment for Netherton syndrome. The trial aims to enroll 12 adult patients for a 14-day treatment period. Interim safety data is expected in early 2025, with full results anticipated in the second half of 2025.
ATR-12 is a proprietary strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis engineered to express therapeutic levels of an active LEKTI protein subunit. The trial's primary endpoints focus on safety and tolerability, while secondary endpoints assess efficacy signals and biomarkers. Recent preclinical data showed ATR-12's potential to reduce IL-36γ by 93% and significantly decrease protease activity in skin samples.
