US-based Locus Biosciences recently reported positive pharmacokinetic and safety data from the first part of the ongoing Phase 2 trial of CRISPR-edited phage therapy candidate LBP-EC01.
LBP-EC01 is being developed as a novel treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by drug-resistant E. coli. The data from the trial were published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.

#ICYMI: Positive results from Part 1 of our Phase 2 ELIMINATE trial are published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases! LBP-EC01, our CRISPR-Cas3 engineered #bacteriophage, targets #UTIs caused by #AMR & #MDR E. coli. locus-bio.com/locus-bioscien…
The next phase is underway with dosing now started in the randomized, controlled, and blinded Part 2, backed by @BARDA. With 150M people affected by UTIs annually, innovative treatments like LBP-EC01 are vital. Stay tuned for more updates! #PhageTherapy eliminateuti.com/
Exciting news! Locus has been awarded $4.1M from @CARB_X to support the development of an engineered #bacteriophage therapy targeting infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant (#AMR) and multi-drug-resistant (#MDR) K. pneumoniae.
