Lakewood-Amedex Biotherapeutics ^{Filed Terms, Nasdaq: LABT}

Lakewood-Amedex Biotherapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel antimicrobial therapeutics to address critical unmet medical needs in infectious diseases, particularly those driven by antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We are addressing the global AMR crisis, which is directly responsible for approximately 1.27 million deaths annually and contributes to nearly 5 million deaths worldwide. The rising threat of drug-resistant pathogens, including MRSA, VRE, and others, has rendered many existing antibiotics ineffective, leading to higher healthcare costs, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality. Despite the urgency of this public health challenge, innovation in antibiotic development has slowed significantly, with many recent approvals derived from existing classes that remain vulnerable to known resistance mechanisms. Our lead product candidate, Nu-3, is a broad-spectrum Bisphosphocin antimicrobial formulated for the topical treatment of chronically infected diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). We have successfully completed a first-in-human exploratory clinical trial and plan to advance Nu-3 into a Phase 2a safety and dose-response trial, followed by a placebo-controlled Phase 2b study.
