Clarametyx Bioscience Recognized as “Infectious Disease Innovation of the Year” In 2024 BioTech Breakthrough Awards
Annual awards program recognizes innovation in the global life sciences and biotechnology industries
COLUMBUS, Ohio – November 19, 2024 – Clarametyx Biosciences Inc. (“Clarametyx”), a biotechnology company developing targeted, immune-enabling biologic therapies to counter serious infections associated with biofilms, has been named “Infectious Disease Innovation of the Year” as part of the fourth annual BioTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by BioTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout life sciences and biotechnology companies, products and services around the globe.
Clarametyx was recognized for the development of a novel immune-enabling anti-biofilm antibody technology, which is designed to destroy the scaffold-like structure of the bacterial biofilm to allow the immune system and/or antibiotics to more effectively eliminate bacteria. This approach is particularly compelling given it targets a universal component of the biofilm structure, rendering it effective across many different types of bacterial infections. Clarametyx’s technology works alongside today’s antibiotics to enable rapid resolution of bacterial infections, potentially reducing the dose and duration of the antibiotics required which helps to slow the rates of antibiotic resistance. In addition to addressing active infections, the company’s approach could serve as an early treatment, working to prevent the biofilm from forming as well as reducing transformation to chronic infections.
“We believe our approach represents a new way to look at addressing challenging chronic bacterial infections in a way that not only improves patient outcomes, but also supports antimicrobial stewardship,” said David Richards, CEO of Clarametyx Biosciences. “We are grateful for the recognition as part of the BioTech Breakthrough Awards for 2024, which helps to magnify the significance of our mission and supports continued momentum for our development pipeline, which is focused on challenging chronic respiratory disease.”
The mission of the annual BioTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the world’s top companies, solutions and products in the life sciences and biotechnology markets today. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 14 different countries throughout the world, serving as a global recognition platform that encourages bold ideas and solutions that will shape the future of biotechnology.
“Clarametyx is rapidly advancing clinical and non-clinical studies to optimize their groundbreaking technology platform. A major contributing factor to the rise in antibiotic resistance is the increasing use of high doses and repeated courses of antibiotics for bacterial infections, particularly those infections associated with biofilms,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, BioTech Breakthrough. “Clarametyx’s therapeutic platform represents a completely novel approach to biofilm-associated bacterial infections and a potential breakthrough in combating antimicrobial resistance, a significant public health threat. Congratulations on winning the ‘Infectious Disease Innovation of the Year’ award!”
