About Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd
Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: RCE, FSE: R9Q) is developing a New Class of Synthetic Anti-Infectives
designed to address the urgent global health problems of antibiotic-resistant superbugs and emerging viral
pathogens.
Recce’s anti-infective pipeline includes three patented, broad-spectrum, synthetic polymer anti-infectives:
RECCE® 327 as an intravenous and topical therapy that is being developed for the treatment of serious and
potentially life-threatening infections due to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including their superbug
forms; RECCE® 435 as an orally administered therapy for bacterial infections; and RECCE® 529 for viral
infections. Through their multi-layered mechanisms of action, Recce’s anti-infectives have the potential to
overcome the hypercellular mutation of bacteria and viruses – the challenge of all existing antibiotics to date.
The FDA has awarded RECCE® 327 Qualified Infectious Disease Product designation under the Generating
Antibiotic Initiatives Now (GAIN) Act – labelling it for Fast Track Designation, plus 10 years of market exclusivity
post approval. Further to this designation, RECCE® 327 has been included on The Pew Charitable Trusts Global
New Antibiotics in Development Pipeline as the world’s only synthetic polymer and sepsis drug candidate in
development. RECCE® 327 is not yet market approved for use in humans with further clinical testing required to
fully evaluate safety and efficacy.
Recce wholly owns its automated manufacturing, which is supporting present clinical trials. Recce’s anti-infective
pipeline seeks to exploit the unique capabilities of its technologies targeting synergistic, unmet medical needs.
