SHANGHAI, June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai MicuRx Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("MicuRx", 688373.SH), a multi-asset biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel anti-infective therapies for treating life-threatening infections, today announced 3 new studies will be presented at the 7th World Bronchiectasis Conference, taking place from July 4 - 6, 2024 in Dundee, Scotland.

The presentations will showcase nonclinical data for MRX-5 and MRX-8. MRX-5 is an oral investigational candidate for the treatment of adults with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary diseases. MRX-5 demonstrates potent antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), the most common NTM pathogen, as well as Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC), the more difficult-to-treat NTM. MRX-5 is currently in Phase 1 clinical studies and topline results are expected in late 3Q2024.

MRX-8 is a novel compound in the polymyxin class. Nebulized MRX-8 is developed for treating chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in patients with bronchiectasis, including infections caused by drug resistant isolates.
