Anatara Lifesciences – Seeking Clinical Validation for GaRP

Steve Lydeamore, CEO of Anatara Lifesciences, outlined their strategy of utilising a specific dietary element to target the interface of the microbiome and the body. This product, named GaRP (Gastrointestinal Reprogramming Product), acts to “remove bacteria with pro-inflammatory properties” and “stimulate mucosal healing”.

The function of this product seems to be similar to that of a prebiotic, an emerging but competitive niche in the gastro-intestinal health market.

Anatara Lifesciences’ strategy of seeking clinical validation for this product will do well to set it apart from other prebiotics which usually trade as nutritional supplements.

Stuart Roberts of Pitt Street Research recently sat down with Steve Lydeamore, CEO of Anatara Lifesciences (ASX: ANR) to talk about the path to market for the company’s new dietary supplement product, called GaRP (gastrointestinal reprogramming).

Based on bromelain, GaRP has shown promise as a potential treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Anatara believes there is significant upside for this product given the lack of strong treatment alternatives and the high prevalence of IBS and IBD.

Anatara Lifesciences CEO Steve Lydeamore sat down with Scott Power, Senior Research Analyst at Morgans Financial Limited yesterday to talk about the Company’s plans in human gastrointestinal health; developing a unique dietarysupplement to help IBS and IBD patients in the growing gut health market.

Anatara Lifesciences is pleased to release a copy of Anatara CEO, Steve Lydeamore, recent interview with Ky Chow of Proactive Investors Australia about the healthcare company’s renewed focus on human health, targeting the 11% of Australians affected by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Lydeamore says the biotech firm’s dietary supplement is unlike other gut health products at the pharmacy because it seeks to repair lining of the gut.

If there’s ever a case of the devil being in the detail, it’s the animal and human health outfit’s fall from investor grace after releasing an investor presentation on May 15 about its newly-inked animal health distribution deal with global giant Zoetis. Anatara shares lost almost 40 percent over the next two trading days, because the disclosed financial terms simply were not as tasty as investors expected. At least the company managed to forge a deal, unlike so many other biotechs.

Anatara’s interim CEO Dr Tracie Ramsdale said the company was pleased with the Zoetis deal because it was expanded to include multiple livestock, rather than just pigs.

Anatara aims to launch its much-delayed pig-poo drug next year in Australia

ANATARA is hoping its delayed-pig diarrhoea treatment will be on the Australian market next year – and it’s even developed a new dosage gun to help boost sales.

“We’re all set to launch in Australia,” Anatara chairman Mel Bridges told investors at the Brisbane-based company’s annual general meeting last week.

The company has a submission with Australian regulators for its product and Mr Bridges said dealings with bureaucrats had gone smoothly with no red flags raised.

Anatara uses a substance derived from pineapples to help stop diarrhoea in pigs, and is marketing the substance as an alternative to antibiotics.

Porkers of the world rejoice! If Anatara’s drug rollout goes to plan, soon their short lives in the sty will be healthier and just that little bit longer.

Anatara has won the support of global animal health arm Zoetis, a Pfizer spin-off company that has exercised an option to develop Anatara’s porcine treatment Detach.

The commercial terms are yet to be negotiated, but if it pans out as expected Zoetis will assume all the ongoing costs and Anatara will pocket some fat milestone and royalty cheques.

US President Barack Obama has issued an Executive Order that aims to combat the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria that represent a serious threat to public health and the economy.

It says the US Federal Government will work domestically and internationally to “detect, prevent, and control illness and death related to antibiotic-resistant infections by implementing measures that reduce the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and help ensure the continued availability of effective therapeutics for the treatment of bacterial infections”.

Measures to tackle antimicrobial resistance include eliminating “the use of medically important classes of antibiotics for growth promotion purposes in food-producing animals”.

The Executive Order can be found here.

The United Kingdom’s Royal Pharmaceutical Society has recommended better stewardship in the use of antibiotics be encouraged in the wake of growing international concerns about the rise of antimicrobial resistance.

The recommendation is one of seven the society makes in a report discussing challenges around developing new medicines, improving existing medicines and making better use of the ones already available.

“The increasing development of resistance to currently available antibiotics is a potentially serious threat to public health,” the report, titled New Medicines, Better Medicines, Better Use of Medicines, says.

It says the “profound consequences of antibiotic resistance for individual patients and for society create an ethical and moral imperative to protect public health by all reasonable means”.

Two leaders in human health have called for the
creation of a global organisation to tackle the growing threat of
antimicrobial resistance.

Mark Woolhouse, professor of infectious disease
epidemiology in the Centre for Immunity, Infection & Evolution at
the University of Edinburgh, and Jeremy Farrar, director of the global
health charity Wellcome Trust, have written in Nature seeking a
organisation similar to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

“What is required is committed and coordinated action
on the root causes of resistance: the misuse of antimicrobials, the
paucity of development of new drugs and the lack of alternatives,”
they write.

“Guidelines must be implemented to improve the use of existing drugs;
the scientific and business worlds need incentives and a better
regulatory environment to develop new drugs and approaches, and those
working in both the animal and human sectors need education and
incentives to help them to change their ways.” Read more »
