This milestone highlights Azitra’s commitment to pioneering treatment solutions for patients with limited options available. ATR-12 is designed as an engineered strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis, which produces a subunit of the LETKI protein that is deficient in individuals suffering from this debilitating syndrome.

The trial, set to involve around 12 adult participants, will assess the safety and tolerability of ATR-12 through a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled approach. Participants will undergo a 14-day treatment regimen, with assessments focused on both efficacy and biomarker measures.

Travis Whitfill, Azitra’s founder and COO, expressed the significance of entering this trial phase, emphasizing the transformative potential of ATR-12 for individuals affected by Netherton syndrome. Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Mary Spellman, reinforced the hope presented by this trial for improving the quality of life for patients living with this persistent condition. Interim data from the clinical trial is anticipated by early 2025, with comprehensive results expected later in the year, marking a pivotal step forward in Azitra’s quest for innovative dermatological therapies.
