Notes to Editors:
Motif is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company,
specialising in the development of novel antibiotics that are
designed to be effective against serious and life-threatening
infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria. Our lead
product candidate, iclaprim, is being developed for the treatment
of the most common and serious bacterial infections such as acute
bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and hospital
acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), including those caused by
resistant strains such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus). Two Phase III ABSSSI clinical trials are on
track to be completed in 2017 and if approved, iclaprim could be
ready for commercialization in 2018. The Company is in discussions
with pharmaceutical companies and universities to build a pipeline
of innovative antibiotics targeting Gram-positive and Gram-negative
bacteria. For additional information about Motif please visit
