Infant Bacterial Therapeutics

Company Description

IBT is a pharmaceutical company with its registered office in Stockholm with a vision to develop drugs influencing the human infant microbiome, and thereby prevent or treat rare diseases affecting premature infants.

IBT is currently developing its lead drug candidate IBP-9414, to prevent NEC and improve feeding tolerance in premature infants. IBP-9414 contains the active compound Lactobacillus reuteri, which is a human bacterial strain naturally present in breast milk. IBT is further pursuing a second rare disease program IBP-1016 for the treatment of an unmet medical need in gastroschisis, a severe disease in infants. By developing these drugs, IBT has the potential to fulfill unmet needs for diseases where there are currently no prevention or treatment therapies available.
