About Allecra Therapeutics

Allecra Therapeutics, established in 2013, is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of novel treatments to combat multi drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. Its lead product candidate, Cefepime/AAI101, a novel Extended Spectrum β-lactamase inhibitor designed to overcome resistance of typical Gram-negative hospital pathogens harboring Extended Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), holds Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) status and has been granted Fast Track Designation by the FDA, for use in complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) and hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP).

Allecra has completed Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections in the hospital.

Allecra’s mission is to contribute towards the global effort to combat antibiotic resistance by developing new treatments which overcome emerging resistance mechanisms, thereby saving lives of patients whose infections may otherwise be inadequately treated.

Allecra is supported by existing investors Forbion, Delos Capital, EdRIP, Xeraya Capital, EMBL Ventures, BioMed Partners and Nicholas Benedict. Allecra’s wholly-owned French subsidiary is a beneficiary of financial support from the French public bank Bpifrance and from the Région Alsace.
