Phagelux utilizes phages, lysins and other biologics and related delivery technologies to create novel antibacterial products and solutions. Phagelux particularly targets anti-microbial resistant pathogens. It has R&D centers in Montreal, Canada and Wuhan, China. The former is focused on bacteriophage products while the latter develops lysin products.

Phagelux has five products under various stages of development. The most advanced is our 14 phage cocktail to treat AMR infections in burn patients which is ready to start a phase one trial in Australia. This will be followed closely by our lead product which is a sustained release phage cocktail to prevent certain AMR infections associated with pressure ulcers. If clinical trials are successful for this indication, we plan to add labelling for the prevention of AMR infections in other indications.

Our lysin dedicated lab is working on several products that we believe will enter the clinic in 2021.
