Feb 11 2021 Revolutionary new treatment that involves the revitalisation of a well-known antibiotic to enter clinical trials in Australia this year MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SuperTrans Medical (STM), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel antibiotics that target difficult-to-treat, multi-drug resistant bacteria, has published First-In-Class, successful pre-clinical results and announced plans to begin clinical trials in Australia later this year for its lead candidate STM-001. Offering new hope in the plight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), STM has applied its patented permeator technology to the widely used antibiotic vancomycin through a process of "intelligent repurposing". The technology, originally developed at Stanford University, attaches easily to the existing antibiotic. The modified antibiotic can effectively penetrate into urgent threat bacterial pathogens allowing a highly effective eradication of superbugs.
