Basic Information
Biosergen is a biotechnology company that dedicates the majority of its organizational and financial resources to the clinical development of BSG005. BSG005 is a potentially disruptive antifungal drug with groundbreaking potential. After more than a decade of preclinical research, BSG005 has demonstrated significant safety and efficacy advantages over competing antifungal drugs, including amphotericin B. The research behind BSG005 and its unique properties have been documented in over 20 peer-reviewed scientific papers. Biosergen initially targets invasive fungal infections with BSG005, which claim hundreds of thousands of lives annually among immunocompromised patients with AIDS, cancer, and transplant recipients. At equivalent dose levels, BSG005 shows a three- to four-fold potency advantage against relevant fungal strains, without the nephrotoxicity that hinders other drugs in its class. The company is also developing BSG005 Nano, which is encapsulated in specialized nanoparticles specifically targeting the lungs, often the first organ affected by invasive fungal infections. BSG005 Nano Oral Solution is an extension of BSG005 Nano. The oral formulation will significantly enhance its practicality, particularly as a preventive measure and for home treatment after transplantation or cancer therapy to prevent invasive fungal infections. Biosergen has obtained orphan drug designation for BSG005 in the United States.
