Data supporting optimized Iclaprim dosing in REVIVE trial presented at IDWeek 2016

Motif Bio plc (AIM: MTFB), the clinical stage biopharmaceutical company specialising in developing novel antibiotics, announces that data were presented at IDWeek 2016 in New Orleans supporting the fixed dose of iclaprim designed to optimize efficacy and safety outcomes in the Company's ongoing Phase 3 REVIVE clinical trials.

Using the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) data collected from 470 patients enrolled in the previously conducted Phase 3 cSSSIs trials (ASSIST-1 and -2), population PK modeling was used to identify an optimal fixed dose regimen.

Iclaprim administered as an 80 mg infusion over two hours provided a 28% increase in AUC/MIC and a 32% increase in the T > MIC compared to the dosing regimen used in the ASSIST trials. This dosing regimen maintains the effective level of iclaprim for longer, while reducing the peak concentration, a property that has been associated with adverse effects. The iclaprim fixed dose may help reduce the resources required in hospitals since dosage adjustment by health care professionals is avoided, and overall hospital treatment costs may be lower, especially in renally impaired patients.

About Motif Bio

Motif Bio is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, engaged in the research and development of novel antibiotics designed to be effective against serious and life-threatening infections in hospitalized patients caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria. Our lead product candidate, iclaprim, is being developed for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and hospital acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), including ventilator associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), which is often caused by MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus). We are currently enrolling and dosing patients in two global Phase 3 clinical trials (Revive 1 and Revive 2) with an intravenous formulation of iclaprim, for the treatment of ABSSSI. Data readout for REVIVE-1 is expected in the second quarter of 2017 and REVIVE-2 is on track for data readout in the second half of 2017.
