Botanix update on BTX 1801 clinical development
Key highlights
-
Recent Phase 2a study data demonstrated BTX 1801 was safe, well tolerated, clinically effective and successful at achieving decolonisation of Staph aureus in the nose
-
Botanix has launched the next phase of BTX 1801 development, targeting the nasal decolonisation of Staph aureus in haemodialysis patients to prevent bloodstream infections
-
Limited current preventative measures mean there is an urgent need and significant market opportunity for novel approaches to prevent bloodstream infections in haemodialysis patients
-
Botanix’s approach enables a rapid clinical development pathway, with the opportunity to apply for key FDA incentives to accelerate development and increase exclusivity
-
Plans for a Phase 2b clinical study are well advanced and fully funded with existing capital reserves
Philadelphia PA and Perth Australia, 4 May 2021 : Clinical dermatology and antimicrobial company, Botanix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX:BOT, “Botanix” or “the Company”), is pleased to announce a clinical development update of its antimicrobial platform with the identification of a new indication, targeting the prevention of bloodstream infections in haemodialysis patients. A presentation providing key takeaways of the recent positive Phase 2a study data, summary of the target indication identified, significant market opportunity and clinical development plan is attached to this release.
Vince Ippolito, President and Executive Chairman, commented: “We are very excited to announce the clinical development update for our BTX 1801 antimicrobial platform. Our assessment indicates that haemodialysis patients with central venous catheters are at considerable risk of bloodstream infections, with no currently approved treatments.
BTX 1801’s novel mechanism of action has been shown to rapidly kill Staph aureus and MRSA without generating resistance, and the recent positive Phase 2a study data demonstrated the clinical utility of BTX 1801 as a nasal decolonisation agent. This represents a potential novel approach for removing sources of bacteria to prevent bloodstream infections in haemodialysis patients, representing a valuable market opportunity to significantly lower the health system impact of haemodialysis infections.”
Clinical data generated to date by Botanix indicates that synthetic cannabidiol has a unique bactericidal mechanism of action that rapidly kills Staphylococcus aureus (Staph aureus) and drug-resistant Staph aureus (MRSA) without generating antimicrobial resistance. In addition, Botanix recently announced positive top-line data from its BTX 1801 Phase 2a study, with efficacy of BTX 1801 demonstrated by nasal decolonisation of Staph aureus.
In the BTX 1801 Phase 2a study, the bacterial killing effect was demonstrated to be sustained in a proportion of patients without further treatment for up to 3 weeks and none of the analysed bacteria developed resistance to BTX 1801 during the 28-day study period. In addition, data generated to date
==> picture [113 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
has shown that BTX 1801 is safe and generally well tolerated, providing Botanix the confidence that BTX 1801 has the potential to be used as a nasal decolonisation agent for prolonged periods to prevent recolonisation (from other parts of the subject’s body) over time.
Following an extensive assessment of clinical data generated to date with key opinion leaders and after a thorough review of potential market opportunities, Botanix has identified its target indication for next phase of clinical development for BTX 1801 – nasal decolonisation of Staph aureus in patients undergoing haemodialysis treatment in order to reduce the incidence of life-threatening bloodstream infections.
Dialysis largely replicates the functions of the kidneys in patients with chronic kidney failure, with dialysis taking over the key functions of the kidneys (including filtering and removing waste materials from the body). Haemodialysis patients undergoing ongoing dialysis regularly (e.g. three to five times per week), are at a high risk of bloodstream infections, due to their treatment requiring frequent use of catheters which in the first year are routinely central lines with direct access to the heart. As a result, infection is a leading cause of death in haemodialysis patients with 20% to 40% of patients eventually dying from an infection[i] . Despite the significant health risks, the treatment to prevent bloodstream infections are essentially limited to the application of antiseptics at the catheter site[ii,iii] . Other issues with the use of antiseptics including the potential degradation of the catheter’s plastic construction and potential to cause patient toxicities[iii] (especially if antiseptics enters the opening of the catheter). No topical antibiotic creams or gels are recommended for catheter sites, primarily due to fungal growth and antimicrobial resistance concerns[iv] .
The potential benefit of BTX 1801 in haemodialysis patients to prevent bloodstream infection is supported by previous studies using mupirocin. These studies indicated that mupirocin was able to reduce Staph aureus bloodstream infections by as much as 60% to 70% among patients undergoing haemodialysis[v] . However, despite these successful studies, mupirocin was never approved and is not expected to be a suitable long-term solution for haemodialysis patients, given the level of resistance to mupirocin (e.g. up to 95% in some hospitals[vi] ) and the fact that mupirocin is now generic (so there is no economic motivation to develop it for this indication).
The health system impact of haemodialysis infections is significant – with the estimated annual cost of treating bacteraemia in haemodialysis patients with central venous catheters to be approximately US$1bn[vii] and approximately 60% of staph aureus-related hospital admissions occurring within the first year of the initiation of dialysis therapy[viii] .
Botanix intends to leverage a range of existing US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) programs (e.g. Qualified Infection Disease Product, Fast Track and Limited Population Pathway for Antimicrobial and Antifungal Drugs status) to accelerate BTX 1801 clinical development, reduce clinical costs and increase the exclusivity period. Botanix is finalizing plans to progress BTX 1801 into a Phase 2b study to assess how effective BTX 1801 is at killing Staph aureus over a 3 month treatment period, with three times weekly treatment of the nose. Planning is well advanced to optimise the study design and the Company plans to initiate this Phase 2b study in 4Q CY2021.

Significant market opportunity
Potential benefits of BTX 1801 in haemodialysis: supported by previous studies using mupirocin (but never approved)
Overview
-
Mupirocin was evaluated in clinical studies in the 1990s as a potential nasal decolonisation therapy in haemodialysis patients
-
Studies indicate that mupirocin was able to reduce Staph aureus bloodstream infections by as much as 60% to 70% among patients undergoing haemodialysis[1]
-
Despite these successful studies, mupirocin was never pursued for FDA approval for use in haemodialysis patients (and is now generic - so no incentive to try)
-
In addition, mupirocin is not a suitable long-term solution for haemodialysis patients considering the levels of bacterial resistance to mupirocin (up to 95% in some hospitals[2] )

==> picture [132 x 84] intentionally omitted <==
“Severalstudieshavedemonstratedareducedriskof[catheter relatedbloodstreaminfections]whenmupirocinointmentwas applied nasally…However, enthusiasm for this measure has been dampened by the rapid emergence of mupirocin resistance observed at some centers and the potential degrading effect that mupirocin has on polyurethane catheters.”
