Drug Development Pipeline
AR-501 (Panaecin™)
Status
DiscontinuedTherapeutic Approach
Anti-Infective
AR-501 (Panaecin™) is an inhaled formulation of gallium. Gallium is a molecule, nearly identical to iron, that disrupts iron-dependent biological processes and has been shown to kill antibiotic-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in laboratory research.
Gallium can also be administered intravenously. Intravenous (IV) gallium has already been approved by the FDA for use in people and was studied for its safety and effectiveness in controlling infections in people with CF.
Status
A Phase 1 study of AR-501 in healthy volunteers showed that the drug was well-tolerated. A Phase 2 study of AR-501 in people with CF was completed. No further development in CF is planned at this time.
