We are initially focused ion topical AMR infections since (a)  the size of the market is so large and (b) there are virtually no other affordable solutions, either on the market or under development, to treat or prevent such infections at a reasonable cost.  However, over time, in addition to our eczema and acne treatments, we will look to in-license later stage biological dermatological treatments for some underserved indications including for the following problems: additional AMR topical solutions, oncodermatology, actinic keratosis, and/or psoriasis. As we expand we will become one of the leading skin sciences companies in China.

Phagelux is a Cayman platform company, focused on China first, that utilizes phages, lysins, and novel delivery systems to create First in Class treatments for large unmet or under met skin conditions. Phagelux Targets are effectively preventing and treating AMR resistant topical infections, and difficult to treat Eczema and Acne cases. 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 significant IP and unique knowhow. In total, 26 patents have been filed in China, US, Europe, and other key markets, and 8 patents have been issued. These include patents of preparation method and method of use. In addition, Phagelux has unique platform knowhow in phage delivery and fast high throughput lysin development systems.

Our two highly novel platforms include sustained released treatments (phage and bioengineering – first IND approved; lead product IND expected in Q1 2021) and engineered lysins (enhanced phage – first IND by mid of 2021).

Jan.16, 2020  Phagelux CEO Mark Engel interviewed at JP Morgan Conference. Phagelux looks to raise $20M USD plus, primarily to fund clinical trials. Phagelux clinical programs will uniquely address very large antibiotic resistant pathogen targets.
