YONKERS, N.Y., April 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ContraFect Corporation<\/strong><\/a> (Nasdaq: CFRX)<\/strong>, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of direct lytic agents (DLAs), including lysins and amurin peptides, as new medical modalities for the treatment of life-threatening, antibiotic-resistant infections, announces today presentation data showing CF-370 is highly efficacious in a neutropenic rabbit pneumonia model against an extensively-drug-resistant (XDR) strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/em> (P. aeruginosa<\/em>).These data were recently presented at the 33rd<\/sup> European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) Annual Meeting held from April 15-18, 2023 in Copenhagen, Denmark.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe data presented on CF-370 at ECCMID should not be understated. As a physician-scientist who has treated hundreds of immunocompromised patients with either hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated pneumonia (HAP\/VAP), the efficacy of CF-370 against an XDR strain of Pseudomonas<\/em> in neutropenic animals provides hope for patients struggling to fight against life-threatening, resistant pathogens with a compromised immune system,\u201d said Roger J. Pomerantz, MD, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of ContraFect. \u201cCombined with the data from the presentations of CF-370\u2019s novel mechanism of action against the Gram-negative ESKAPE pathogens, we believe the potential for CF-370 to significantly improve clinical outcomes in HAP\/VAP patients continues to dramatically increase.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability of CF-370 to not only show significant activity on its own, but to demonstrate the capability to restore the activity of amikacin against an amikacin-resistant Pseudomonas<\/em> strain in this challenging model is quite important clinically,\u201d added W. Garrett Nichols, MD, Interim Chief Medical Officer of ContraFect. \u201cThe results validate our view that CF-370 offers us a new paradigm to finally address the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance, where we still see mortality rates of up to 60% in patients with antibiotic-resistant HAP\/VAP infections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n ECCMID 2023 Presentations:<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n Oral Presentation Title:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Efficacy of lysin CF-370 in addition to amikacin in a neutropenic rabbit lung infection model caused by an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) P. aeruginosa<\/em><\/p>\n

In this challenging model of pulmonary infection, neutropenic animals are treated with dose regimens of amikacin and CF-370 administered alone and CF-370 administered as both a single dose and in multiple doses in addition to amikacin. Amikacin alone did not demonstrate a significant reduction in bacterial density in the lungs compared to the vehicle controls (as expected for this amikacin-resistant strain). However, a single dose of CF-370 alone, and in addition to amikacin, significantly reduced bacteria counts compared to vehicle controls. The most significant reductions in bacterial density occurred with the administration of multiple doses of CF-370 in addition to amikacin were seen compared to all other treatment arms (p=0.0018 vs. amikacin alone, p=0.0083 vs. CF-370 alone, and p=0.0279 vs. CF-370 single dose + amikacin).<\/p>\n

\n Poster Presentation Title: <\/strong>Activity of lysin CF-370 at the cell envelope of Gram-negative (GN) ESKAPE pathogens revealed by electron microscopy<\/p>\n

In this study, the impact of CF-370 treatment on the surface ultrastructure of P. aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), Escherichia coli (E. coli), Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae) <\/em>and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) <\/em>was studied with and without the presence of human serum using electron microscopy (EM). The EM analysis elucidates that the mechanism of CF-370\u2019s potent bacteriolytic activity against these Gram-negative pathogens is based on rapid cell wall destabilization followed by pore formation and lysis.<\/p>\n

\n Poster Presentation Title:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Bacteriolytic and anti-virulence activities of engineered lysin CF-370 against Gram-negative (GN) ESKAPE pathogens<\/p>\n

In this study, membrane permeability assays were used to demonstrate the capacity of CF-370 to disrupt the outer membrane and depolarize the inner membrane of P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii, E. coli, E. cloacae<\/em> and S. maltophilia<\/em>. Furthermore, the membrane depolarization caused by CF-370, even at sub-lethal concentrations, demonstrates anti-virulence effects of impaired swarming motility and the prevention of biofilm formation.<\/p>\n

\n Poster Presentation Title:<\/strong> Lysin exebacase exerts potent in vitro bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus<\/em> strains associated with pulmonary exacerbations (PExs) of cystic fibrosis (CF)<\/p>\n

In this in vitro study, exebacase was profiled against clinical Staphylococcus aureus<\/em> (S. aureus<\/em>) isolates from patients with CF. Minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum biofilm eradication concentration and time-kill assays were utilized. Exebacase demonstrated potent in vitro anti-staphylococcal activity against all CF patient isolates, including antibiotic-resistant colonies. Antibiofilm activity was also observed.<\/p>\n

\n About ContraFect<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

ContraFect is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of DLAs, including lysins and amurin peptides, as new medical modalities for the treatment of life-threatening, antibiotic-resistant infections. An estimated 700,000 deaths worldwide each year are attributed to antimicrobial-resistant infections. We intend to address life threatening infections using our therapeutic product candidates from our platform of DLAs, which include lysins and amurin peptides. Lysins are a new class of DLAs which are recombinantly produced antimicrobial proteins with a novel mechanism of action associated with the rapid killing of target bacteria, eradication of biofilms and synergy with conventional antibiotics. Amurin peptides are a novel class of DLAs which exhibit broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, including\u00a0P. aeruginosa<\/em>,\u00a0A. baumannii<\/em>, and\u00a0Enterobacter<\/em>\u00a0species. We believe that the properties of our lysins and amurin peptides will make them suitable for targeting antibiotic-resistant organisms, such as MRSA and\u00a0P. aeruginosa<\/em>, which can cause serious infections such as bacteremia, pneumonia and osteomyelitis. We have completed a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of\u00a0Staph aureus<\/em>\u00a0bacteremia, including endocarditis, with our lead lysin candidate, exebacase, which is the first lysin to enter clinical studies in the U.S. Exebacase was granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for the treatment of MRSA bloodstream infections, including right-sided endocarditis, when used in addition to SOC anti-staphylococcal antibiotics.<\/p>\n
