About Matinas BioPharma
Matinas BioPharma is a biopharmaceutical company
focused on improving the intracellular delivery of critical
therapeutics through its paradigm-changing lipid nanocrystal (LNC)
delivery platform. The Company is developing its own internal
portfolio of products as well as partnering with leading
pharmaceutical companies to develop new formulations that take full
advantage of the unique characteristics of the LNC platform.
Preclinical and clinical data have demonstrated
that this novel technology can provide solutions to many of the
complex challenges in achieving safe and effective intracellular
delivery, for both small molecules and larger, more complex
molecules, such as mRNA, DNA plasmids, antisense oligonucleotides
and vaccines. The combination of a unique mechanism of action and
flexibility in both the formulation and route of administration
(including oral), position Matinas’ LNC technology to potentially
become the preferred next-generation intracellular drug delivery
vehicle and an important improvement over both lipid nanoparticles
and viral vectors.
MAT2203 is an oral, LNC formulation of the
highly effective, but also highly toxic, antifungal medicine
amphotericin B, primarily used as a first-line treatment for
invasive fungal infections. MAT2203 is currently in a Phase 2
open-label, sequential cohort study (EnACT) in HIV-infected
patients with cryptococcal meningitis. Enrollment in Cohort 3 of
EnACT commenced following unanimous approval from the Data and
Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and is now fully enrolled. DSMB
evaluation of Cohort 3 data and potential cohort progression is
expected in the fourth quarter of 2021.
MAT2501 is an oral, LNC formulation of the
broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic amikacin, primarily used
to treat chronic and acute bacterial infections. With the support
of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, MAT2501 is currently undergoing
important preclinical studies and commenced a Phase 1 human
clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2021. MAT2501 would be the
first and only oral aminoglycoside, and is being positioned with an
initial indication for the treatment of nontuberculous
mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease, including infections in patients
with cystic fibrosis.
LYPDISO™, is a prescription-only omega-3 fatty
acid-based composition, comprised primarily of EPA and DPA,
intended for the treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic
conditions. This next-generation omega-3 therapy has been shown in
two head-to-head studies to provide effective triglyceride-lowering
and significantly higher EPA blood levels than Vascepa®. The
Company has initiated a process to identity and potentially secure
a partner to continue development of LYPDISO.
